[rc-guy]

[hitman46mod]

[rc-guy]

[ryan48]

When did ZORLAC change his user name? :ror:

Very impressive fabrication skills there rc-guy. Are you running equal length links front and back? The chassis seems to be quite far back in relation to the centre of the wheels base.

[rc-guy]

the lowwer links are equel and i do know it does look off center but i measured and everything is right where is should be the pictures might be throughing things off

I don't think he changed his user name I just think think someone hacked up one of his frames...:lol:..j/k..Seems to look a lot like a Nemesis to me though...

[nishru]

thats not a DMG chassis
looks like a copy

[JeremyH]

Very nice tube work!!

[rc-guy]

i did make the chassis my self but did use a picture i found on the internet so it could have been from this dmg you speak of

[hitman46mod]

Nice chop cut rebuild."thumbsup"

[fvrr]

What was the outcome. Was toying with the idea of using my R2j tuber with bully's but wanted to see how other tubers are working with them before I give up my 2nd ax10.

[rc-guy]

as im still waiting for motors and i just sent my axles back to get the updated one. only time will tell i still myself want to see how this tub i built from a picture will work i might just make something else. but think it wont be to bad

[fvrr]

OK, I've got this link saved so will wait to see what happens. Thanks

[rc-guy]

ok its been a while for me to post anything on this build but i have been busy racing 1/8 but just finished getting my crawler together and tried a test run. and well ting i have to work on shock oil wieght and placement. as the there seem to be some issues with clumbing over some things like stairs. the chassis likes to ride up and extend the shocks. maybe have to buy a chassis for it but i will work on this one as long as i can. to add it does clumb up a piece of ply wood with an angle of about 60 deg. which i thinbk is not bad for home built. more to come with maybe a video..lol of my bad crawling

[rc-guy]

here are some action shoots i took

How is it working out? Any problems with motor stall?

[rc-guy]

so far it is working pretty good. a little stall but i ordered a 13 tooth for the front and see how that works. for a home made chassis i am quite happy. i have a video of it but will make another one in time . once i get a little better at crawling with it...lol
