Badcrumble 4430 Posted November 9, 2020 I’ve been amassing parts for a custom Frog build for the last year or so. This makes my planned chassis look ‘mildly hopped up’. Operation Lilly Pad is next level! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People usually use two way Tape?? I've always used 2-Part Epoxy. Never even had a Magnet come LOOSE in the whole 17 years I've been using them. 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not making fun of you at all my good man, just thinking of what you could do with all the kit parts you must have going spare that have been substituted with Hop-ups 😉 I get a little jealous when people say, ”Today after going through my spares I realised I only need one more washer to build another complete chassis” Ive got along way to go before I get to that stage 👍🏻 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've fallen into that trap a couple of times myself, and nearly did it again recently with the Durga and CR-01: "Oooooh, I've got a spare chassis, shocks, diffs, arms, hubs and driveshafts, I only need some gearboxes and a few other bits and bobs and I've got a whole spare car!" Experience has now taught me the hard way to cost everything up on a spreadsheet BEFORE pressing "buy" on anything! It's amazing how a few "bits and bobs" can really add up super quick. That said, I've got a 50litre storage crate full of spares so I'm sure that if I ever get the urge I could make some sort of Frankmiya monster out of it all. Would probably only need a few bits and bo....... nope, stop that idea right there! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carmine A 3105 Posted November 16, 2020 This is why my ORV Chassis will be a Brat.... You've set the Bar way above my abilities!!! I'm going to want one of those Swaybar Kits! 😁 Where did you get that from?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRx718 4712 Posted November 16, 2020 Nice. I have a dislike for the ORV chassis but appreciate they have a bit of a cult following. My work colleague has bought as many hop ups as he could find for his Monster Beetle ORV and has recently added those front stabilizer bars. The alloy rear arms were crazy expensive: 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
