Looks great, I love how it seems to be the perfect blend of form and function.

Are you the same crawldaddy that made this:

I wish I was the one who made that! Its a really nice looking buggy. Here is a buggy I built last year. Its with a new owner now but it was a fun one to drive.

great looking jeep, and killer build up thread!

crawldaddy · 04-16-2006, 08:57 PM

I've been able to whale on old sleepy and I have to say its a good time. I've found a few short comings so far. She's heavy(8 lbs) and likes to eat batteries alive with the titanium geared servo. I switched it out to a standard servo that helped with run times but its a little weak for me. I ended up getting a new fuel tank. Its an Orion 4800 mah lipo. Its awsome! I can drive this for about 2 hours and I get better wheel speed with the small pinion that I had to put on this pig. The rock sliders work awsome. I chopped of the fenders and am adding tube fenders to the front. Ill get some pics on the rocks as soon as I get it done.

Now that's how a crawler is supposed to look! Nice work dude,I fab'd up some sliders too and I must say that they work as good as they look.Again sweet rig man I love it.

DUDE that thing is awesome, I am sure it looks as good in person as it does in the photos... I would know best since I won one of your creations, my Courier is probably my favorite tlt

If EVER decide to get rid of the Jeep, let me know

I see your a fan of that copper color too

I did my boyer Bronco the same color, its a great scale color.

That thing is awesome. I looks like you definetly beat on it too. Sweet build.

savageracer312 · 04-18-2006, 07:01 PM

nice tamiya connector, try a deans next time

plyr2k · 04-18-2006, 07:56 PM

You didnt like the moabs huh? nice build i like to see that after some one put that much time into something their not affraid to use it.

crawldaddy · 05-21-2006, 06:41 PM

Well I painted up a new lid for the last utrcrc comp. How about those big meats! Man if Imex could make them a little smaller than they are with the same compound then these tires would rule the earth!

MOCRAWLER · 05-21-2006, 06:55 PM

what sort of tubing did you use to build the frame?

Does that answer ur question?

1BadJeepBruiser · 05-22-2006, 07:35 AM

Looks great with the new lid, although I am partial the copper color, but I have scene a few new jeeps in that color out here on the island.

Mike

Wrecker · 05-22-2006, 08:06 AM

Lookin good. I also like the copper/rust color better, but it still looks good in green.

crawldaddy · 06-04-2006, 11:31 AM

Im trying to get old sleepy ready for the Montana comp so a few changes were in order. I never really like the cage so I re-did it in 3/16 brake line. I'm alot happier with it now. I also added a little bit of scale...a rear view mirror. I also worked on getting this fat pig to loose some weight. I chopped off a full pound. Ill post more pics as I get it finished.

Mazlem · 06-04-2006, 11:49 AM

The new cage looks a lot sleeker. Nice work!

fullmodtxt · 06-04-2006, 02:06 PM

I agree, the new cage is much better looking. 3/16 tube works out to about 1-3/4 tube in 1/10 scale, or roughly 1-1/2 in 1/8. That works out to what the major structural parts of a real cage would be.

Lankenstein · 06-04-2006, 02:13 PM

Looks good, I'll bet its alot lighter then before!

So you arent going to the Lil Moab comp? Youre going to the Montana comp? I thought about the Montana comp, but thats along ways away for me to go right now.

crawldaddy · 06-04-2006, 04:46 PM

Got the gas tank done. Was able to re-rout the fuel sending and return lines to the engine all plumbed up. ie: the electical done to the motor.
