last one...

Here are some pics of Andys nearly finished wheelie bar. he used steel road ends which he polished, slot car alloy rims and a heavy duty shock which he adjusted in length and limited in travel with the white washers which are usually come with every shock (just placed a couple over the shock shaft inside the shock).. now he guesses It will work... but will have to wait for the first test run.

I use a photo program and resize to 640x480

Sylvester 03.26.2005 07:00 PM

what photo program, and where to get iT?

HotnCold 03.26.2005 07:07 PM

any photo program will probably do it - my program came with my laptop - its microsoft picture it..

RC-Monster Mike 03.26.2005 07:14 PM

This truck belongs to Andy, a customer in Germany. We have been slowly building this up for about a month now(well, Andy is building it, I am supplying the parts). The wheelie bar is Andy's own design. Quite a nice design for sure. The truck is shaping up to be quite the looker as well. It is being built as a display initially, but I am sure Andy will only be able to fight the urge to run it for so long and will eventually give in to his desire and give it a good bashing! He has gotten several ideas from other trucks on the site and has a mind of his own as well (as you can tell by the wheelie bar!). More pictures of this fine truck will follow as well.

Very cool. I love it - you guys might have something there. If you could get the assembly to fit onto the rear bulk brace holes only (not on the tower) and maybe use longer rods - it would fit on any maxx and would be easy to make into a kit.

Nice!

Looks good!

I would add a cross on the lower two arms, so there is a bit stiffness when the truck starts to tumble on it's four wheels. One tumble session like that and it will be destroyed (would be a petty, because it looks so sweet!)

supermaxx4190 03.27.2005 12:18 PM

thats awesome

T2693 03.28.2005 01:04 AM

Nicely done.

The extra support would put it over the top. Not many places you can buy a wheelie bar.

Andy should sell them.

What's the chances of selling them and a price for it?

RC-Monster Mike 03.28.2005 07:02 AM

This is up to Andy. I am sure he will want to test it thoroughly before anything else.

pixelzombie 03.28.2005 10:02 PM

very interesting, it gives me an idea to use a similar set-up for a front bumper...

NiCad 05.13.2007 12:52 PM

That is nice some work on the wheelie bar.

I had a very similar idea for my MQ. I had purchased Alloy bumper set to have some material to fast it too. It is now for sale and on to building a CRT.5.


Very cool, like to hear how it works though. The MQ is so powerful it can not keep the front tires on the ground for nothing at any speeds really. It could benefit from something like this. I was panning a more drag oriented bar though. Prob would of stuck it out a good four to five inches behind the rear tires.

Cool stuff here. Glad I found this place.

Guys, just to inform you..............this thread is a damn old timer!!!!
Even the one who owns the truck and the wheelie bar is no longer around and nor his truck( parted out and sold at e-bay)..:)
