.... dual motor 4x4 super buggy!!!!! what you guys think of that??

J now your just being funny.

hey its been done with monster trucks and even onroad stuff look here ... http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=45189 now id like to see it done on a race buggy

Here are some pictures of the steering on my FF buggy...

Instead of the pivot point being in the middle of a bellcrank, I moved the pivot point right up front and this allows it to actually sit on the sides of the front gearbox, close to the outdrives. To achieve this, the bellcranks actually mount to the upper deck instead of the lower one. The bellcranks now pivot forward instead of backwards in a typical setup.

This took a long time to figure out how to get everything working freely but it's working!

Bellcranks mounted on bottom side of upper deck


That's all the space there is between the servo and the front gearbox.

Doesn't everything look better when it's in carbon fiber? lol!

As always BC great work!

been thinking about a cool name for this. The best I could think of sofar is Mantis.

How about the "Stinkbug"...cuz it goes like stink. Or "Atomic Cricket" Or "Halgar".

Now THAT would be a cool name!

I think it looks great, and they all kind of remind me of a frog with outstretched rear legs, so how about
La Grenouille
French for Frog I think?

What? You can't even speak proper English and now you're trying to parler Français?

please you can't spring crap like that without warning... almost drenched my keyboard with my drink...

Super Freaky! The back end, when the narrow tires are used, kinda looks like some sort of mutant swamp-buggy... I want one!

For names, I like Stinkbug (as mentioned above)... or, of course, "Halgar"

BTW - We hear it handles quite well, does that include jumps?

Here's a 2nd request for some action videos!

The top 10 Reasons it should be called the Halgar:

10 - It is one of a kind, just like me.
9 - It handles abuse well, just like me.
8 - It was made with love, just like me.
7 - It's easy to use, just like me.
6 - It likes to play in the mud, just like me.
5 - It's photogenic, just like me.
4 - It's a little strange, just like me.
3 - It's a little annoying, just like me.
2 - It's coveted, just like me.

And the number one reason why it should be named Halgar:

It drives BloodClod nuts that it's cooler than he is, just like me.

Great car, build, execution and action photos
Must be a lot of time and effort put into that crazy looking beast

BTW, thanks for all the cool name suggestions! On another board they were also suggesting names like Super Cricket and a nice one was YKP-10 which sounds so retro-japanese-rc-ish. lol. YKP are initials for a word in a local dialect translated "yellow tadpole".
