diggerjames 543 #27 Posted October 1, 2014 Awesome ! Are you putting small wheels on the front or doing a widestride? well Mark I may even use that axle you brought me up what you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #28 Posted October 1, 2014 Big would look better, but you need to make an axle to get steering.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diggerjames 543 #29 Posted October 1, 2014 That's true I can soon sort that with you and Dibnah for advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diggerjames 543 #32 Posted October 1, 2014 I just need some more wheels as I've had to steel these ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dibnah 19 #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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 #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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diggerjames 543 #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 #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 the showman, meadowfield, Dibnah and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #41 Posted October 6, 2014 Looks OK James. But I still think it should be FC or the chassis extended to look right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
