Exclamation My First Comp build

Well Guys I decided to join the ban wagon and build a comp 2.2 crawler using an Axial Kit. Everything I used from this build came from www.ckrccrawlers.com With the help of "Jack" from CKRC I think I have made what I believe to be a very competitive crawler. I am going to give you a list of what is on it and then post a few pics then I would like your honest opinion on what you think. Just keep in mind this is my first build but I think I really have something worth working with here..
  1. Axial AX-10 Kit
  2. CKRC Stage 2 kit with bent links
  3. CKRC Rock-star Chassis
  4. Castle Creations Side Winder ESC
  5. Hitec 645 steering servo
  6. Triangulated Electronic mounts
  7. Split Pack Battery Mounts for the Front and Rear Axles
  8. Eight Cell Battery Pack 1500Mah
  9. Pro-line Helios body
  10. Axial Soft springs on the rear
  11. Integy 45t motor
  12. Losi Rock Clawz Tires
  13. Memory Foam Inserts
  14. Hot Racing Straight Rear End
  15. Aluminum Hitec Servo Horn
  16. Airtronics 46050 3 channel FM Radio and Receiver
  17. Axial Heavy Duty Diff Locker
Now for the good stuff the pictures!!!














I did this just so you can see the underside. This was done for you the viewer not by way of a crash







My Wife thought this would be a great crawler. I once again tole her she was a dork lol

Nope it's not Mr. Clean!! It's me!





7.5 inches of flex!!

What I think is a low CG



Well there ya go my first crawler build can't wait to see what you all think!

Default Nice Rig!

Looks good. Watch out though! Once you get hooked on rock it's hard to quit.

Cool build!

You did notice that the tread on one of your tires is backwards, right? I did that the first time I put beadlocks on too.

Just curious...you've also joined the growing number of people I've seen that have wives that let you have a crawling spot in your backyard. How do you guys manage to do this? Drugs? Bribery? I get vetoed every time I ask.

Well I have to be honest this is a friends house. But I guess if I wanted to dump a huge pile of rocks in my back yard my wife would be OK with that. I would just tell her "Look honey less yard to keep up with" LOL don't know if it would work but after the truck left and she tried to lift a few I imagine they would stay..

i built a bunch of rock walls around my property. i snuck in a couple of extra tons. that is how it started for me. then i demoed a bunch of old concrete and added that to the new "rock garden". a neighbor over ordered on some flag stone so i took that as well. landscapers are good guys/gals to know also. they just bring it by and add to the pile. it is quite the habbit. i need a 12 step program to get me off rock hording..........

I'm in the mits of building a rock course in my backyard right now, I have the wooden structures, just need rock. And yes, crawling is worst then a crack addiction.

Sorry to hi-jack your thread dude, sweet build.
