the E-Cruzer (economy cruzer)

by brianm311 | September 2, 2013 | (10) Posted in Projects

here is the finished version didnt have enough for the twin set up so we decided to try it as a single so with a couple small mods it than became the E-Cruzer (econmoy cruzer) and much to our surprise it worked out really well!!

cut down cover from cruzer kit still fits

battery has been moved back due to cg purposes

 

steve installing motor mount

not much change from original,cut back center support to mount motor

here we replaced the stock set up with ply and some aluminum landing gear with foam tires

I,,, dont know,, this particular pic seems totally unnecessary, plus its the first thing on video start up... im just concerned because this show is very heavily geared towards Family and kids. Im really sorry if im wrong. I do love the build, it is well done, and performs extremely well. Inspired me to actually build one. I had held back because of the cost to buy two of everything . Very nice build.

seriously as I explained before and im sorry if YOU seem to think its pervy or not family geared it was never intended to be that way and you seem to be the only one who has this issue, it is photos of the build and the steps we took doing it.

Cool, I also complimented the build. But you seem to focus on the first comment. Lets start all over. ... hey brianm311, very nice build. I really like the way you turned a good build into a great build. And excellent work on the paint scheme. Awesome! Thanks for the tips.

Hey jerimiah, this issue had been done and over with . And my dad or myself do go to the beach, and take off shirts cause its appropriate. You didnt even comment on the grat build. Instead you want to talk smack, i think youre the one without a Life, and the " Looser ".
