halo warthog build (power wheels)

[MysticMakings]

thanks guys. Yeah i dont think we will get rid of this thing. I didnt get to the shocks but i managed to start on the rear bumper.

i think a 4" aluminum bumper will handle the beating it will be getting.

 

[MysticMakings]

had to make a reinforcement plate so the bumper doesnt fall off.

added the plate for the step in the bumper, some tie down hoops, and welded the parts together

Rear bumper complete

I made shock tabs, mounting plates, and installed the shocks.

standing all on her own.

Making some fasts progress here. Any particular reason why you opted for a "weaponized" 'hog instead of a troop transport? It's one of my "pipe dream" projects to turn maybe a Jeep Liberty or something similar into a drivable TT Hog.

no real reason just wanted to try it. im finding a lot of kinks in the mini. so as i work through them i will know what to expect for the full size.

 

[MysticMakings]

just cut some holes and added some light. had to test them. wow they are stupid bright.

 

[Zaff]

Good plan.

FIRST OFF: THANK YOU for your services! I look forward to your build please send me a message when you begin. Its fun to build but more valuable seeing the kids faces and the kids faces come out of grown men and women as well.

made a custom drive link. so I can now use any motor i choose. Button the motor in and now tech. i can put batteries to it and it should go. only right now it will throw all the power at once... i dont want that. I will be testing it sooner than later now.... i hope.

 

[MysticMakings]

i think these will look nice mounted to this machine!

Have you ever thought of using a potentiometer or something similar attached to the gas pedal, so you get control of the amount of electricity delivered to the motor, effectively mimicking throttle?

is that gun removable ?

 

[CaptainKrole]

Wow looks awesome! Can't wait to see it when it's done!

On your first page pictures, you gave us an idea of what the articulation of the suspension could potentially do (crazy btw!). Did it get limited much when you added the shocks?

And wicked build by the way! I can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[Bioshutt]

you should have the gun light up when the barrels reach the 12 position with sound as well

hes using an old golfcart

YES, I was so mad that the only shocks i could find have 6" of travel. 3" up 3" down. Stinks. I could always just install bump stop cans and let her rip.

yes i am making the gun removeable so i can change it back an forth from a rocket launcher and the gun
