Yea - it is and it isnt. Basically just got to sell the mog and the lockless and Ive got it covered. Any takers?? Couldnt build anything like this for anything near that kind of money - not even in the US. Just as an example to build the axles that its got from new components in the US is $11000US.

Yep - first event in exactly one months time.

looks like a good rig

whats the wheelbase?

Can you believe I actually dont know for sure - I think the guy said it was 103in but that was a few early mornings ago and I didnt write it down. But basically the wheelbase isnt anything out of the norm.

Sam

very very nice..

Very cool buggy Sam - and great value for money.

Are you keeping it in the US to compete or shipping it to Oz???

How are you going to manage driving on the wrong side of the buggy

And what are you doing with your 35 spline sals/D60's now?

that almost looks as good as your old buggy...


congrats dude

Will leave it in the US. Got the guy that runs Calrocs to look after it and take it to and from the Calrocs events (in return he is going to use it as a promotional vehicle).

Will probably get it comverted to right hand drive but not until after this first event - only for the reason of being different to everybody else, basically just to be instantly reconised as being Australian.

The D60s will be for my next rig that I will build here. The competitions hotting up here and I think Im going to need them - who knows I might even temporarily throw them under my County to enter tuff truck

Yea - allmost. Except that its got twice the power and axles that you carnt break. The guy said that he absolutly floggs the arse out of it and it doesent break. Only thing hes broken was a front cromo outer stub shaft and that was in a comp with the tyres full of water.

Basically the spec of the front axle is the same as what some of the US guys are running in their rear steer setups - cromo axles and CTMs. The only better setup is to run 300m axles.

So what are the dates of the US comps you are entering? I will come and watch if I am in the US at the same time.

I would definitely buy a couple of mags and vote for you if you entered the county in Tuff Truck. What about getting the mogrover engineered on smaller wheels though?

Now that is cool.

So how long are you going to leave it over there for and how many times are you going to go over before it comes out here?

I call B/S............................


















































......you won't sell the lockless or the mogrover!

Good call though i like it! It certainly has some good gear in it!

1st one is the 3rd Oct (ie one months time) Hopefully Mick (bobtail - the guy who one the last XRCC in the mog) or Nick will fly over with me to spot.

Dont know the dates for next year but I will probably do the 4 Calrocks comps plus their finals although I could another 4 if I wanted to. The rig can be taken to all the Calrocs comps (all 9 of them) cause the guy that runs these events (Rich Klein) is looking after the rig for me.

I could almost do Supercrawl (on about 17th Oct) this year. I think i could get an invite to enter but then I wouldnt be here for my daughters 1st birthday so I probably wont bother. Would absolutely get my arse caned at that event anyway although this year its a stadium man made course so it will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Will probably get totally spanked at Calrocks anyway. Going to be a big step up from wht we are doing here. I think its going to be just a matter of having fon and surviving.

Mogrover is probably engineered enough to get in ATM - maybe. I probably could getthe axles engineered (basically only thing left) with some really low profile 20in wheels. With the stock 20in wheels on it its track is about 4in wider than a stock defender. Ive actually almost got the Mog sold. Just got to fix a few things up on it and this guy should buy it (I hope).

Probably wont bring it out here. I guess it depnds on how the season pans out next year. The rig was built in 2003 and it was half competitive this year. The motor its got is probably a bit too heavy (cast iron 350 chev v8 - good for 300+ HP). Most guys are running either alloy V8s (like a LS1) or cast V6s (lighter and weight further back cause the motor is shorter) or highly tuned 4cylinder motors (turbos and stuff). Most of the top competitors that run a front engine also have rear steer (which this rig doesent have) OR they are running rear engined tube buggies without rear steer. So basically this rig is a little bit behind the spec even in this years season so it may be way off next year. Depends on what everybody builds. But im not competing in the top competition series (UROC) although most of the top guys that run UROC also compete in Calrocs but the thing is that the Calrocs events also has alot of lower performing rigs so the comp tends to be a bit easier so basically my plan is to just survive and learn heaps.

If the rig is totally out dated next year I might bring it back to OZ but i probably wont - I would just sell it. With the axles im building up at the moment Im prbably going to build somehting thats comparable anyway (although it wont have an Atlas transfer but the rover ones can do everything an Atlas can do plus more and the strength of the rover case doesent seem to be a problem ATM)

Sam

I`m jealous, bitch


I struggle finding enough money to do what I want to do to my lux and a few comps a year.

Nice Sam................. good luck with the comps

Even if you came last in every comp it would still be werth it just for the fun factor and the amount you`d learn.

Guts wrote:Even if you came last in every comp it would still be werth it just for the fun factor and the amount you`d learn.

That is for sure although it would be good if I was at least half competitive.

I think the most difficult thing will be the rollovers. Basicslly when I go over in less than a month I am absolutely guaranteed to get rolled. Probably this entire competition will be harder than the hardest lines that we had at PUOSU. In these competitions just about everybody rolls - event the top guys. In one event they had this year Tracy Jordan (the guy who is leading the UROC overall - absolute ledgend driver) rolled three times during the event and still managed to place 9th. The lines that they force you to take will guarantee that you will have to save a rollover - many times. We havnt seen this sort of competition in Aust yet.

Going to be a big step up.

Sam

Nice purchase Sam.
Wish you the best of luck for the up-coming competitions!

Sweet buggy,

Good on you for flying the aussie flag @ UROC

(I hope this doesn't start a flag debate)

I will be in the US in April and May next year, so if you are competing in one of the CalROCS events during that time I will definitely come and watch. I am also happy to help out if I can.

Good luck.
