Had a stock outcast chassis just laying around. And enough parts to build a few rigs.. I wanted to build a Mojave suspension w/Kraton hubs swb rig since I see all the typhon truggfied guys keep praising them.

Still waiting on several parts to finish my proof of concept, like voltage suspension blocks and servo mount. After that I'll end up going with a m2c lightweight chassis

So here is where I'm at currently

Looks good man!
 
So I used all my spare parts to build it originally as a "proof of concept" to see if I enjoyed the platform.. Well it turns out it's beyond amazing and it deserves a "ALL IN BUILD" So I threw everything I could at the build. M2C motor mount, chassis and suspension blocks and vitavon bulkheads and hubs and now it's my favorite rig. More pics coming

That looks fantastic. Can’t wait to see finished product. 👌🏻 What shock setup did you go with?? Been thinking about doing a buggy build myself 😂🤣 Nice man!

Thank you, good to know 👌🏻.. how do you like the fit/finish on the vitavon stuff? It looks really good from here but pictures are pictures 🤷🏻‍♂️ Haha.

I'm beyond impressed with Vitavon. A good guy to deal with also. All my other rigs use HR hubs but always have issues with the screws backing out of the carbon pieces. I would consider all the Vitavon stuff superior to HR. And the diff cases are a work of art and eliminate the need for shims on the crown gear they are so tight. I've shimmed the input with 2 shims for the best feeling diff setups I've gotten so far.
 
I agree. I love my vitavon goodies! Sweet build! Following
 
I will say this, I built the truck around using the mojave wheels n tires and it's the perfect combo for me. The 2.8 badlands just make it to much like a outcast. I can't really explain it but the mojave wheel n tires it feels much more agile and nimble. I'm going to shoot for 150+ feet from my send it ramp..

just lit a fire under my ass! I’ve got a shitton of left over/spares! Talion chasis tho. Ooh boy! The wife gonna love this! Haha. Beautiful build. I know exactly what ur talking bout w the way it drives and tracks!! Got me a little moist thinking bout it! Lmao.
 
4s outcast tires are nice too. I used senton towers on my builds to get the body posts up on top the towers a little more. The 79 c10 body had a bad habit of rubbing in sharp turns so i ended up putting kraton arms on hahahaha.
 
Beast mode activated! Send it!

I fully intend too. It's actually all I know lol sometimes I watch videos of some guys just content with driving around like they have sense and I say dang I bet I'd break a lot less if full sends weren't a necessity for me 🤪
