Nice Bar Jess, where did ya get the tire from ????

[ososlow]

It looks cool. I made one out of meccano parts for my stampede once.

Looks cool but don't think its gonna take jumping to well.
Nice work though how is it connected?
Is that tire from a model?

[marca]

looks nice does it work good? is it solid?

IMHO, looks like it would buckle to either side under stress. If you add another pair of rods or turnbuckles, giving it 4 fixed points, it will be less prone to buckle. Use BOTH the upper and lower bulkhead brace locations for best results.

it has a xmod f15 offroad tire on it...im putting support bars on the bottom tomorrow

The bar will be vulnerable in cartwheel type tumbles. Just don't crash.

The thing is all wheely bars are vunerable in cartwheel tumbles.

QFT. This is the only real reason that stopped me from dishing out the $$$ for the stock Traxxas wheelie bar. Pricey, and one tumble'll snap it like a twig. ;)

I think a 2 wheel setup would have been better. It's not going to be a steady wheelie with only 1 wheel, otherwise is looks good!

[cpee]

lets see video of it runnin

[mdrevo]

lets see video of your emaxx runnin....thats only if you can pull it from jerry springer long enough,,,lol

yes, but this one sticks out further than some others and probably would be less likely to survive many tumbles.

[mdrevo]

i only did the bar cause i was bored..if it buckles under stress then i get rid of it i just wanted to build something..i dont care if it lasts

[zueslilbuddy]

I thought it looked cool. Kinda dragster like lol

[mdrevo]
