Title: Project Sandrail
Post by: MADSKILLZ on September 16, 2008, 04:27:46 PM: So I decided to start another project and pulled out the tube bender again! I Started to build another sand car (my 3rd car I've built). I didnt take any pics of when I first started but here are a couple of pics of the frame tacked together. The fabrication part is easy, Its the comming up with the $$$$$ for all the parts to complete it thats the hard part :banghead:

Post by: Beaveretriever on September 16, 2008, 09:33:48 PM: are you going to use buckshot front arms? thats what that front end looks like. Is the frame done, or almost done? it looks good. i used to race in Score and MDR and my family has been in the desert racing and playing for over 40yrs. if i can be of any help let me know.

Post by: AQUAHOLIC on September 17, 2008, 07:08:11 AM: ya i was going to say it looks a little like a buckshot as well. looks sweet. Grandpas fiberglass shop does the bodies for buckshot. those cars are nice. Hal just bought one of the new X5Rs. the thing is badass. complete with seat warmers cost well over 100k though.

mine should be done by haloween. it is kind of based on a class 1600 car but i am running an 1835 and we opend up the sides a bit so it is easier to get in and out of. but i built if for the desert. so the sand should be easy for it.

i will stop by the shop and take some pics today..

one day i will be able to afford a full travel

what trans. i can get ya a good deal on a mendi.

the wrx motors are lightweight and proven to take a beating in the ralley cars. the can push close to 400hp on stock internals. just add boost and fuel.

def go with boxed arms. if you overbuild it you can always add more power..haha.. build it bullet proof the first time and life will be much easier.

full travel = cash

its probably the 3.0L v6 that is in the older Z's, Maximas, Frontier. Great motor. I dont know why he would of made parts, there is a crap load of aftermarket goodies for that motor....Stillen Motorsports in Irvine make a crap load(pretty much all they do is making nissans faster, know from expierence): Stillen.com

Title: Re: Project Sandrail
Post by: MADSKILLZ on April 01, 2009, 03:41:30 PM: little bit further along.

Had to re build the rear trailing arm cuz the first set were way to wide :D With the paddles on the car it measures 96" from outside of tire to outside of tire :-\ cant go any norrower. The trailing arms are just mocked up on the car right now but will have them button up soon. ;)

What do ya guys think so far?
Title: Re: Project Sandrail
Post by: OC2Vegas on April 01, 2009, 04:06:50 PM: Looks great. It may be the pictures but is the "roof" of the cage really tall?
Title: Re: Project Sandrail
Post by: MADSKILLZ on April 01, 2009, 04:18:51 PM: Its a little taller! I have like 6" of head room. The seats are raised 4" off the floor. the side railing is 20" tall and from the top of that to the top of the roof is 27" tall.

With the paddles on the car it measures 96" from outside of tire to outside of tire

The front measures with the a-arms leveled out 93" from end of spindle to end of spindle. It shrinks down as the arms drop down. So I will have to ratchet the front suspension to get the car in the trailer :-\
Title: Re: Project Sandrail
Post by: pw_Tony on April 01, 2009, 05:04:55 PM: Why is it too wide? Just cause of trailer restrictions or something else?

Title: Re: Project Sandrail
Post by: Baja and Bust on April 01, 2009, 06:05:57 PM: I could be wrong, but... On buggies, isn't the front track width supposed to be a little wider than the rear?

Makes sense to me so the tires don't both go in the same exact rut in the sand...

That's how it was on the R/C cars I used to race anyways... Maybe the real thing is different. ???

Well my inside door measures 96" on the trailer so I might have to run it on donuts to get it in the trailer! Its not too wide otherwise. Before I made the new trailing arms it was 12" wider in the rear :o
