Here's the rear end and some flex pics

[badger]

Thats a good amount of flex. I think that is more then enough for a scale crawler.

Looks killer!

I'm not sure what you are asking in the above statement. But the material cost has gone up dramatically. As of the last time I looked at the material it was $9 a foot that equates to $180 for tube and another $250 for time. I can look into tubing. Brakeline for instance. Would be way cheaper, but it doesn't weld as nice nor does it bend as tight.

Thanks for the good comments guys.

Damn turning out nice! I thought you made a mistake when you cut up the front but you made it look sweet and the shock mounts are pimp! Awsome work

also how long are those shocks? They are E-max shocks right?

[rockraper]

that looks realy good. the guys at blue torch are very good guys, one on them just bought my Eletric X-factor. (hopefuly he likes it)

[crawler]

What color will the chassis end up being? I remember the body was yellow, and I think with a yellow frame and blue body it'd look sick! It looks really good and the front end really reminds me of a bumper I've seen on 1:1's.... Dang can't find the pic, but it looks like this, angled forward more and the parts that go around the headlights go above the center bar and curve back down...

[kingcobra]

wow!!! the BEST looking scale r/c crawler I have seen on ANY site so far!! please post more updates!! and I'm too lazy to read through every post here so tell me did you mig it or tig it?

[rckjeep]

Thanks, I have a Miller Mig.

Tonight, I got the tranny somewhat mounted. I'll finish mounting the trans tomorrow then it's drive shafts and electronics. Then I drive the fawker.

[rckjeep]

Tranny is mounted. It's time to make some sort of driveshaft work with the jugg trans and TLT axles. Any suggestions?

ok well i didn't drill the pinion. I'm using stampede & maxx shafts. stampede on the tlt axles and maxx on jugg tranny after I get the TXT output shaft.

I also got the rear shock mounts welded on. Oh and REVO shafts on the TXT
