The entire website is based on Whiteknight - some old chevy thingy.
Think that the owner of this tube buggy is a mate of the bloke who runs the web site. Website dude has some pretty decent vids on there as well. Download them all, and convert them into DVD format. It aint bad....

:shock: Now thats flex. I'd assume its stable also with the high mounts on the airshocks also.

is it just me or would that thing be a nightmare to drive. it would just be trying to tip it self over all the time. Be very hard to control I'd imagine on those sort of angles and wouldn't generate much traction as there would be very little contact pressure. I have seen firsthand super flexy rigs in Moab just sitting flexed up with all 4 wheels spinning on the ground whilst less flexy, locked rigs, crawl through the same obstacle whilst lifting a wheel. There is such a thing as too much flex.

A little like this pic. This is the Mog Rover before we re-fitted the motor/box and body.

it has a 454 bb, to some sorta gbox, to a casale v drive out of a boat (so the diffs spin the correct way seeing as the motor's in the back)
