Hey guys, I have done the same thing in the general section, but I'm looking for some inspiration, so post up your favorite lux (doesn't have to be your own) and just tell us why you like it..

Always been a fan of Shirvos Lux.

Also liked this one too.

And this one, well just because I miss my old red cab, RIP.

Hey brad or anyone for that matter, I can see how a v8 or big hp motor can help in high speed stuff but why in crawling? Brad I can understand a v8 for a very multipurpose car, but is there a great advantage in crawling comps such as toperi?

For me it's purely I want the HP and torque, coupled with the right lowrange gearing and auto it's what I'm looking at for the next build.
Your right a small zook 1lt with big crawler gears can work really well still, but its good for some things to be able to drop it back and have the power. But that's personal preference
But generally speaking its the torque and too much right foot that breaks things.

Yes, Twisty put in a build thread on it for me while my computer died (Shortman's Dual Cab by C44F), it is only recently done & will be back after some testing for final finish.
I will download pics off my phone to my photobucket as I need to put up some more recent pics.

Glad you popped in here Brooksy, I was going to post Boofs Lux, after the SAS, but couldnt find any on google images, piece of art.

Post by **brooksy** » Sat Dec 22, 2012 1:41 pm

Cheers mate, I don't have many after I SAS'd it, I always enjoy getting free reign on building Luxes. Them & 40series Cruisers lend themselves to almost infinite imagination that is hard to make look wrong.
