Just some ol dusty delrin 1.9's that I drilled out to accept SLW hubs. Mainly for tire and foam testing. I really like the tire and foam combo that are on the rig now. Just too lazy to swap to Duuuuuuuuude's wheels.

Crawler Innovations Cell Blocks.

Another awesome Szczerba build! Really love the cage and paint scheme. I'll be starting my own JK build soon and wanted to confirm the lens/bucket combo you used. Is it the tamiya Wrangler H/J wrangler bucket set with tamiya wrangler K lenses? Thanks!

Thanks and yes, H/J and K parts trees. Cherokee grill is from an eBay seller in Spain.

Awesome, thanks! I got my grill from spain a couple weeks ago - very nice for the money

You have any "crawlering" footage by chance?

I sure don't. I usually am huffing and puffing trying to keep with this jeep and rarely stop to take pictures or video. It gets drove hard and keeps on going.

[Crawl Space]

I can understand - it certainly looks like a blast

[ljparton]

Curious as to which Traxxas bigbores you are running? The XXL or the Tmaxx set?

Thanks!

I am playing with hub widths now to widen it out a bit. Plan on running it in the Scale Nats U4 race in April.

[Szczerba]

We have our ARCC TTC this saturday and I didnt have a 1.9 tire'd truck to enter. Maybe I do now? It's already fully waterproof, so why not!

First beater body I painted before JWalker did the good one
Axial dingo flares
TSS Monster 1.9 Wheels
RC4WD Compass tires
Crawler Innovations foams
Axial front bumper





Saw this on IG yesterday and it gave me the idea.

Is it coming to CO for nationals?!?

The Jeepspeed version for the 1.9 Solid Axle U4 class, not the TTC version.

Thanks.

Took the flares off the TTC setup

Ended up with the 1st place spot at the ARCC Top Truck Challenge setup by @rolandrockshop and the ARCC crew. This is normally my 1.9 U4 truck but a few changes got it into TTC mode. 5 events during the day with lots of good drivers. I think there was 15-20 1.9 drivers, a good turn out for our club.
Tank Trap
Obstacle Course
Sled Pull
Hill Climb
Mud Drag
Thanks to @rcscaleworx @cbercfab @teamknkhardware @scalerfab @yankthisrccustoms @customcrawlrc and @duuuuuuuudescrawlerworks for the prizes !

I broke the rear sway bar but ziptie'd the rear axle to limit it down. Ran off and left my sway bar spares at home. Love me some TLT mounts!


There were 5 events and tons of camera and video, so pics will pop up soon.

Truck did better after i figured out I had a busted sway bar.

The compass tires did really well. The compound is good the extra height is a plus.
The Crawler Innovations foam setup was spot on from eddie. 4.5 Double Dueces, med outers up front and firm outers out back.

Great swag haul and a great rig , it's very cool to build something that looks cool and just plain works !

The broken sway bar out back was a minor set back. The truck was pretty tipsy on the obstacle course run and I couldn't finish it. I figured out what was wrong right after that and fixed it. I am surprised the truck did that good with the larger tires.

[Szczerba]

Some random pictures from a few ARCC club members.
Flipped over after sticking the landing off the skate jump in the obstacle course.

Yes, it was ok to hold my winch hook down, as winch attachments were mud and nary a rock.

This is the first I've seen this build. Way cool. I've been thinking about doing an RC version of the 1:1 Jeepspeed my boss runs. #1724
