Shockin' Yall - Wide Open Design - Rock Bouncer - Build Thread

[WideOpenDesign]

Steve Ingram has been wheeling for years and was finally ready to step up into a buggy build. He came to us with a few ideas and pictures of what he wanted. There were several images of a remote controlled crawler that Steve really liked the lines of. So we took all of the cool features of the RC car and ran with it. After creating some special modifications to our Rock Bouncer Chassis, the design of the buggy would closely resemble the pictures he sent us. While collaborating with Steve, he introduced us to the most notable attribute of this build.....He wanted a cowl-hood on his buggy. Not just a simple engine cage with a skin on it, but a cowl-hood that had a rib right down the middle of it. Just like a steel-hood would have. We told him we could incorporate it and we made it happen.

So we took our Rock Bouncer Chassis, changed the roof up in the design , added doors , created a cowl induction looking engine cage, and set out with the build. This thing has a great list of parts but nothing is over the top. Its a really nice blend of bang-for-your-buck in a high performing platform. Check out the specs and all of the pictures. If you have any questions about a project you have in mind always feel free to email or call us to talk about it.
