Baller has it in his Crawler Museum. Maybe one day we'll see a picture of his collection. I think he just rubs them with diapers.

"Fairly easily" depends on who you are and what skills you have. I would say that this is more of an advanced project and you would need some decent fabrication knowledge to accomplish the task is a decent way.

I agree with Harley, the Telluride has IRS too, so making this kind of truck out of it would be a lot of work...

Still chillin with this one. Ran it a few times and its sketchy...compared to a Yeti. It's still a "only" and an "early" built here. I love it.

Yeah, swaybars would help out a ton!

Rcgerrish's this was such an amazing rig I had to make my own! My rear end setup is different and I incorporated a rear sway bar which now, it handles like a dream. It's a hill climbing machine!!

I do but I cant figure out how to upload videos the right way. Next time out ill take my gopro which is easier to work with. Hats off to the OP Ryan for making this first. I built mine at the end of 2012 and have tweaked it to outperform my highly upgraded yeti 1/10 in everyway.

Holly dead thread bat man......

I was wondering why you went with the Slash front end over a Yeti ?

Ive been out of crawlers for over 10 years so not sure if they were even out then etc ?

Love the build mate, well done. It inspires people to have a go them selves.

Cheers Nick

The yeti wasn’t out yet.

In fact, one could be so bold as to say this probably helped influence the Yeti.

Hey now... We can all have our own ideas.

The Yeti was on the project plan as soon as the EXO went from idea to live project. At that point the AR60 axle existed and the EXO front was in the design stage. It was just a matter of making it happen.

I wont argue that Ryan has always been ahead of the curve and a true innovator. I miss those days of RCC.

Just connecting dots...

Not saying the dots couldn’t have been drawn at the same time though 😎
