Build On A Budget

[Axial95]

I had get out of crawling over the last year and then with this colder weather and the days getting shorter I decided to break out what I had left and start a new crawler. I do mostly crawling on my brothers small course and a few other small areas we have built. I am trying to get this thing going for this weekend so I can do some crawling, that is if the weather and USPS holds up. This will be an ever changing crawler as I do some experiments and some crawl time. Here is what I have so far.

DMG Alluminati chassis
Stock Wraith axles with aluminum steering links
Wraith trans with upgraded gear
Tekin Pro 13.5 Motor and ESC
Proline dual rate shocks and springs
Futaba 3 channel
HiTec HD steering servo

The first few pics are of the course and the crawler last year. Let me know what you think about it and some upgrades that need to be made in the future. Thanks!

Now for how it sits now.

Building the new buggy




Will hopefully have some more pics this week. Checked the driveshaft angles with it flexed, bottomed out, and fully extended. Everything looks good now I have to sit and wait for parts.

Finally finished it up after the rest came in. Next upgrade will be aluminum links and new transmission.
