Default Holmes' Mid Super (Standard Unlimited) Vehicle build

Time to start work on the newest class of rig that really has me excited about building again! I have no clue where this may go, since the only real constraint is that I have to fit through 16" gates. I will focus on this rig being highly capable and primarily tuned for Classic Comp style courses, with a removable camera mount to give it a payload option and utility beyond just competing.



So, when the world is your oyster and you have practically no rules to guide a build, where to start? 2007 is where I'm going to start, it is when I first considered a motor in wheel concept. The many hurdles to make it happen are not so different 8 years later, but my machinery and experience is far improved.


I also have a worker that is exclusively my right hand man and not involved in daily operations, so when it comes time to watch the mill run or assemble parts, I have an extra set of hands to speed it up or take over when my time runs too short. Include the rest of the crew at HH and it's like having a small posse working on my toys, totally a mind trip for me every day.




I'll add some real tech once parts start floating in. For starters, I'll be using the link mount locations of a berg so that suspension geometry isn't starting from scratch.
