Mightyraze's "Sasquatch II" [2017 Build-Off Entry] [Finalist]

pretty lil tractor brother. Direct steer is great for low speeds, but tends to be twitchy at higher speeds on uneven terrain. for road use. use a larger yoke, for off road, smaller. Yoke size and spindle arm connection length determines turning radius and how much you feel irregularities in the terrain. Smaller for off road means less leverage for the tire to spin the steering wheel and break a finger. Less of a hazard for road means you can have a quicker turn radius, though this too can be hazardous if you get too silly with turning at speed.

Excellent advice!

Figured out the pull to the right when going down the road.  The lift to the front was causing the brake on the right front to grab causing the pull. I put it back to where it was.  Few updated Pix for the weekend.  Wrapping up on the project.  One more thing I would like to do to the build before calling it 100% complete.









Enjoy!

The moon tank and hubcaps look killer!

Have to remember to take the silencers out next time I take pix.

I now have in my possession the last part that I planned to purchase on this build. Once installed, I will call this build a wrap and change that progress in my Signature to 100%. Nothing spectacular on the part, just a light to be installed.

I'll put together a little gallery of pictures. I'll also put together a final video showing all the features and functions of the tractor.

This build is so unique. I love the hubcaps

Many Thanks MatthewD!

Well, guys.... I think I am going to call this project complete! I'll get some nice pictures and get a finished video in the next few weeks.

Cutting it pretty close to the deadline arent we??

Breaking news: 6 hours to the deadline and competitor Mightyraze has decided to completely rebuild his buidoff tractor due to a flaw in the paint on the underside of the footboard

I love this thing Mighty! I prefer the front end lowered like that, it adds to the gasser look haha

Thanks!  Took some pictures today.  I'll upload them in the next few days.  I have some more I want to take soon when it starts getting a little darker.

While filming some snip-its  I laid this burnout in the driveway.  LOL...

Little Something else to tide you over till I get my stuff together.  

Ugh... no pix taken today. I had planned some video shot but an escaped convicts manhunt a mile from the house has things on hold.

Jeez I think your twin caught fire mighty!!! Hahaha, whatever is going on there it looks really cool!

Did you say escaped convict manhunt?? Thats a darn good reason to stay indoors if I've ever heard one!

No fire... LOL thanks!  I took some pix last night but they turned out bad.  I was going to redo tonight but that did not work out for obvious reasons.

They caught the dudes, 2 of them about a mile from the house just after 1AM. I'm a bit tired today.


I'll see if I can get those pictures retaken. They are calling for thunderstorms tonight, Yee-haw,

Well, here are some pictures as promised.  I know it is early and if there is something that falls in my lap that "just has to go on" I'll do it and keep y'all updated!





































Hope you enjoyed it!  I am working on a video, but that is going to take a while.

I love it mighty! The lights look great, really catches your attention.

Thank you!

Now ya just gotta take 'er for a burn at nighttime to show off the lights hahaha.

Awesome light additions.

Thank You!

I was going back through my build thread.  I'd say it came out close to my original vision?




personally, I know it is my build, I think it came out better.  :-)

Excellent work brother

Images are broken, I will get that fixed in the next few days.

Ugh.... this is going to take forever!
