i was asked to do something different for some parades this year, so i came up with this.
the fg is sporting some nemesis rims and tires (the 23mm hexes are holding up nicely) it works great!! i had to build a truck to take the abuse of back flip after back flip onto black top, so i did this.
a vxl rusty, rpm a-arms and shock towers front and rear, aluminum hub carriers, custom front skid, mip cvds, pro-line rims and moab tires, 1/8th scale buggy shocks with internal limiters, and on the way is a aluminum trans case. soon to come, aluminum front bulk head and a strong chassis
10/8/1871- the great Chicago fire. Approximately 250 people were killed in the fire; 98,500 people were left homeless; 17,450 buildings were destroyed along with the original Emancipation Proclamation.

What parade? And what if the rusty lands on the FG?
Otherwise looks sweet. I still dont think that rusty is Ben proof though.

we did the orland days parade a couple of weeks age, and we have another one coming up on the 19th. as far as hitting the fg, i can put the front wheels of the rusty at the foot of the ramp, gun it, back flip and land about a foot in front of the fg.

Bill,
Do you think the FG could pull a short, wide section of chain link fence material behind it? I was toying with the idea of an RC setup to drag the infield dirt on baseball field, just for kicks. I thought it would be cool for the Little League All-Star Game.

the only problem would be turning radius. if you made a hitch like mine, just longer, then it would work.
