Hey Everyone, I've come up with a budget for the whole project. I've been thinking on this for a while now trying to decide if I am going to make it a super high end project with all new stuff or a low budget project and I've decided to go with the low budget project, this does not mean that it wont be high quality by any means it just means that I am going to be re-using a lot of parts from other projects and doing a lot of fabricating myself as well to keep the cost of new parts I need way down. My goal for this project is to keep it under $3,000. This does not include any tools or software I buy to help the build along but only what actually goes on the Rock Crawler including frame materials, shocks, axles, wheels, seats, tires, and everything else. This may seem like a measly amount to build a whole Rock Crawler from but I'm confident that it can be done with a little extra work.
Another reason that I chose to go the low budget way was to show other people who may not have $20,000 to buy a pre-made tube buggy that for less than a sixth of the price they to can have a quality, powerful, and purpose built Rock crawler.
Here is a buggy another builder did and kept it to $5,000...
Not too bad right? I mean if I owned that I'd be pretty happy but lets see if we can't to better. Also let me know if you think I am taking the right path, leave a comment below!
