meadowfield 1,900 Report post #28 Posted October 1, 2014 Big would look better, but you need to make an axle to get steering.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 Report post #33 Posted October 1, 2014 Looking at the photo's, James, I really think it should be FC. You can then fit a decent size back body on. Look odd otherwise. Unless you extend the chassis. Also some kind of suspension for the rear axle. Just something for you to think about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dibnah 19 Report post #35 Posted October 1, 2014 Im Happy to make him a front axle but that would look better with rear tracks and large wheels up front and a tipping back. 1 diggerjames reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 Report post #37 Posted October 2, 2014 Fantastic James, looks mean on the front, why don't you make it a skid steer, then you wont need a front axle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diggerjames 543 Report post #39 Posted October 2, 2014 looks like the rear wheels have seen enough skidding... yes bud they have that there totally worn out , I'm considering putting ATV suspension coil springs on the rear axle to aid in downward force what do we think people ?

diggerjames 543 Report post #40 Posted October 6, 2014 Hi all progress has been a little slow but I have made some head way I've been contemplating an original one but I think it wouldn't look right , so I've took the wheels and hubs off an old quad and this is what I've come up with let me no your opinions please ! 4 meadowfield, rotoscytheben, Dibnah and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 Report post #41 Posted October 6, 2014 Looks OK James. But I still think it should be FC or the chassis extended to look right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 Report post #42 Posted October 6, 2014 Certainly looks better! Kinda with norm, forward control might look cool, given you are looking to make a hood stand, you could look at mixing it up a little... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
