Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig As the U4RC movement grows, I needed a 2.2 Ultra 4 to compete with. I already have "Top Shelf" my 1.9 Ultra 4, build thread: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/1-9-s...ultra-4-a.html The chassis to any build is the starting point. If the geometry is wrong from the get go, it will never perform. I went to Mike Duncan aka "The Doc" to have a chassis built. His Beast Chassis design is well tested and proven. The chassis is almost done, so it's time for a build thread. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7078/...f8f01e48_o.jpg |

Re: Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig Well....... I got a call from Eddie from Crawler Innovations and was asked if I wanted to build him a Beast chassis. Thought that was a pretty cool call. Eddie makes the best foams out there and.....well I'm going to give him a chassis that will complement his foams and give him something that will kick ass out there "thumbsup" I know alot of people have seen my chassis so I'm going to try not to bore you with all the same pics. Here we are starting the build. http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps89589335.jpg A few parts that he's going to need are the Vanquish 4'' light bar, 2'' light bar and Vanquish alum housings. http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps38e33354.jpg A Wraith crossmember and some Hot Bodys sway bar kits. But these are my Sway bar arms. http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps17a4e95a.jpg |
Re: Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig your scale garage looks really nice! |
Re: Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig the sway bar arms are sweet!!! dang you doc!! you know I'm going to want a set on my chassis. |
Re: Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig Love that operating room Doc:) |
Re: Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig All the Beast chassis's come with places for all the electronics Battery plate, holds 2s, 3s and up to a 3s 5000. http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...psef388746.jpg This is the receiver mount, it face's the motor so dirt from the front tires won't get in. http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps50c2e1b8.jpg Here I changed the upper light guard, he liked the low profile bar instead of the light above the roof. http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps7b091566.jpg Than as the VP trade mark Lol... The VP team want a extra light out front, so I added a mount for a 2'' VP light bar. Also in the pic are the tabs for the quick release hood pins. So changing batteries is a breeze. http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps531d51ac.jpg http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps5c61c623.jpg |
Re: Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig Here is the alum front tube for the sway bar. http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps6ae32030.jpg Using my custom saw bar arms with traxxas rod ends and 8/32 links. http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...psfd8b0373.jpg Here we use 104 mm shocks and a rear sway bar, I sand them down to get the right amount of movement. If you run them too stiff it won't let the suspension work right and if you sand them too thin, they will brake or again not work right. http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/v...psb63bb99f.jpg |
Very nice. Two questions. What shocks are those and where are those sway bar arms From? |
Re: Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig Great looking start. Excited to see how it all gets wrapped up 8) |
Re: Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig Very nice, Doc. Super clean build. "thumbsup" All of your work is top notch and look great in the pics and vids, some of my favorite to watch and look at. Yeah I dig those Swaybar too (just need a set built to fit my rig) :mrgreen: |
Re: Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig Thanks guys for the compliments. The Chassis has arrived at its new home.......so now its up to the Foam Man :mrgreen: to put the icing on the cake..... But for all the work he has going on, it might be a while before we see anything :cry: The shocks I run for now are the Integy 128mm fronts and 104mm for the rear. I am making the sway bar arms as I speak, so I will have some for sale soon. |
Re: Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig looking good! like the low profile upper light bar |
Re: Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig Sway bar arms are bad ass"thumbsup" |
4 Attachment(s) The chassis arrived several weeks ago and had to be shelved for a while. An opening with the paint and body shop has come up so it will be heading over there next. Unfortunately the time in storage allowed some rust to start :embarrassed: A few pictures of The Doc 's craftsmanship: Attachment 286509 Attachment 286510 Attachment 286511 Attachment 286512 . ..Uploaded from the lab @ the C.I. Compound... |
Re: Crawler Innovations "Beastly Beauty" - 2.2 Ultra 4 Rig What color will she be? |
Quote:
It has not been 100% decided. But since the panels were hand formed and the overall craftsmanship of the chassis is outstanding, this rig is gonna get pimped out. The artist should pick up the chassis this evening. ..Uploaded from the lab @ the C.I. Compound... |
