SXS Weld Porn or Weld Horror?

What do you mean “used parts”. Who said these pictures were of a used part? These were new parts sent over for evaluation prior to the “Pre Production” cars being built. In one of the weekly videos last year, I think around the Baja 500 Robby showed stacks of parts coming in for them to evaluate. He ended up taking one of the Speed UTV steering wheels and mounting it in the TT and racing with it to compare it to the MPI wheel he was using. 

sorry all I meant is this looks like an old rusty part  with a new clean weld

if its new I apologize   - i just was taught to clean stuff up before you weld it

Here’s a bad ass chassis my buddy Jason is building. He currently has two in production.

I don't know about any of you folks but I get so bored looking at the stacked MIG welds. If you are going to MIG it, just MIG it. If you want the stacked look use a TIG and be done with it. If anyone thinks a robotic weld has to be crappy, think again. Apparently the Germans at Porsche have it figured out.

All of you SxS guys can get as excited as you want about them, a SxS will never, ever give you the same thrill as big buggy with a six liter will in the dunes. Ever! LOL

I agree. However, a SxS can go other places where a big buggy can’t. 
Having said that, I sometimes regret sell my SU Sand Pro 2 mid engine. It had some very nice welds.

Speaking of that little devil. Where has he been lately? Haven’t seen any posts from him in a while. Don’t say it LOTD, there’s no way he’s adding anymore gussets to his gussets. :rofl: @Sand Shark where you at man?

I am back!  I was in Mexico looking for gussets for LOTD.

I believe you are correct when it comes to duning. You can’t beat a properly set up sand car for that application. Now most people with big sand cars don’t use them in the hard pack. Not built for it nor is it set up for it. A SXS on the other hand, can be used for many applications. So if you aren’t made of money to own several different toys, the SXS is your best bet.

That really depends on how you drive a sandrail.  I have seen some sandrail groups rolling through the dunes and can tell you’ riding in a SXS would be more  thrilling.

Thrilling - Especially the roll overs  - they are really exciting and way harder to experience in a good sand car  :classic_biggrin:

Please don't flame me - its a joke  - kinda -

A few seasons ago we were going around a good size bowl and there was a group going in the opposite direction riding the ridge above us.  Dude somehow rolled his SXS as we were passing below him.  Now that was thrilling.  LOL!

There is no denying the power of a turbo sandcar or V8 powered car and the fun of being able to hit the turning brakes coming into a corner.  Especially if the sandrail driver knows what they are doing.   I enjoy chasing down my friend's that can drive a rail in my Can Am.  It is a workout for sure.

Hit us up next season for a dune run. :biggrin:

Were you with the Kelson's, was talking to Wade this weekend and he had just got back from Mexico. They went to the Chenoweth museum, & running the beaches.

I was on a cruise.   No offroad trips to Mexico until maybe Sept.
