I think I seen this one for sale before....
Your diff's are probably already locked. Bag the rear steer and consider adding "front dig" then go beat the hell out of it on some rocks.
Please do not display your crawler on any shelves!

Dig alows you to disconect your rear driveling allowing only the front to work. Some setups lock the rear like a brake and others let it free wheel, allowing you to turn/piviot in a tighter axis than with all 4 wheels engaged.

4 wheel steer is cool for just bashing around but is not comp legal.

Yes he bought it off of me lol. I would also go with a front dig (i am waiting on my VF dig right now, it looks sweet and from the videos I've watched it is awesome), I would also go with a Hitec MG5955tg servo for the front steer but the Tower pro works good. Thats how I ran it until I got my new truck which I have spent 1200 so far (thats why I sold that truck so I could spend more on my comp truck lol).

dmicgrif when I packaged it up tonight I took the tires off the rims to pack around the radio for added protection, I also packed it full of foam peanuts. I took the axles off but the rest of the truck is still together. I forgot to mention in the add it has the stage 2 mods, high clearance links and there was something else I forgot to add. I am sure you will be pleased with it. Pm me if you have any problems getting it back together, I think I took out 6 screws and put them back after I took the axles off so it shouldn't be too hard. I also included the factory manual so you can have a guide to look at if you need to know how something comes apart or goes back together. I put the antenna to the radio, the receiver and the screws from the beadlocks in the frame of the truck so make sure you dont throw those away.

My truck sits on the top of my computer desk until I run it or take it down to work on it. LOL so it comes off every day

Nice looking truck. Look at the castle sidewinder, novak rooster crawler, and even a dutrax intellispeed. They would all do fine.
