Robotboy's R1 Frankenweenie

[Robotboy]

Had the R1 cage and have been messing with many different setups. Settled
on this one and so far it's great. Not much of a build thread but I thought I'd
share. A few pics were taken after some test runs so excuse the dirt :ror:
Running the 1.9 Trenchers now and waiting on some boggers to try out. It's
already a blast to drive.

Thanks guys!

This thing is a blast! Goes pretty much anywhere I want it to, within reason :ror:
Rebuilt the shocks and slimed them up good. No leaks yet, fingers crossed. I
put a set of 1.9 PL Boggers on the Capra beads. A nice setup which will stay on
the Frankenweenie. Here's a couple of new posers with the new shoes.

I cant believe you managed to fit a driver in there. There is so little space to fit just the electrics in the R1 cage. Good stuff!
