Billforceone said:Are you guys sure that you didn't buy a Campbell ENT Chassis in a box. It looks just like there's, your you guys are just are very good at copying Nelson and Campbell Work so what is it. But I do think that you guys are doing a fine job and the rig looks cool nice job Kyle. But on the other hand, I would like to see some one come up with something new and everyone stop copying some other shop hard work. It is very easy to copy someone work but harder to come up with it on your own thing.

Kyle said:Bill, so if what you are saying is correct, when you built Dallas a rig you must have been copying Walker evans old rig or maybe Jason Paule,or the Karnivore. or any one else who has a two seater front engine car with coil overs and a four link.
what I am trying to say is there is only a few things you can change on a certain style car. If you would like to see something new .step up and do it.

cruiser said:wow
harsh words!!!
You weren't harsh. Moon buggies work. They are a reletivley new form, and to reinvent that form and be successful, is harder than most people think. there are many things about Cambells rig that are different from Tiny, yet they look very similar because they are totally purpose built. If it is working so well, why not try it?Kyle said:What was harsh about that? I wasn't trying to be harsh.

NiceCody said:Form follows function.
The chasis is just another piece of a rig that is built a certain way for a certain reason. It's not like you have to reinvent the wheel everytime you build a compenent of a rockcrawler.
Dude, it's like taking 2 Mr. Potato head's with all the exact same fixin's, putting them together and expecting totally unique results.
There is only so much creative freedom in these things.

guranteed to be the first reference to Mr. Potato head found in any buggy thread.

****, if we're going to be original, why don't we take an OB boat motor, rear mounted of course to make up for the opposite rotation, directly mounted to an atlas, which sends power to commonly oriented axles (i.e. not upside down(adn again, to make up for the rotation). or hell, front mount that power plant and run the axles upside down again.....patent pending
How far outside the box must one venture before you figure out that originality sometimes comes at the cost of functionality?

Supergper said:but they would be a PITA to adapt because they have a verticle output...cool idea though, the head mechanic at my previous work and I talked about doing just that quite a bit
Cody said:Mount the motor horizontally and what do we have?
Cody
bobdog said:Probably serious oiling issues.
Cody said:ok, ok wait a sec......use two smaller motors, and mount htem directly above some rockwells....top loaders, vertical output.....

I love this idea.
