| Looks good. Try out some claws. It looks like those claws would be perfect for that rock surface. You already running a slipper? |

| get something better than tape to mount your batteries. even zip ties would be better. black out your tie rod and drag link, your upper links, and your rock rings. try some other tires. and have fun....  |

| I think it looks cool. My only suggestion would be to replace the socket cap screws with button heads on the lower link mounts. And/or move them inside the frame. When mine were like that, they snagged on everything. |

| Thanks Guys! It makes me feel like I did something right getting all of the feedback. I will try too answer all of you questions with this post: yoda316, I am running TCS medium springs - 1 spring under piston, 1/2 spring on top. Georgerm, I plan on getting a set of Losi tires soon. rtooyak, No, that is the stock setup on the spur. CrawlHer, I made the body panels myself. I cut them out of .040" lexan and then painted the outside with flat black Fusion paint. mtnyote, I plan on doing all of that soon. I have a wife that I must give some attention to every once in a while.  FL Knifemaker, I tried mounting them inside and did not like it. I will probably change the screws as you suggested. ROCKCAD, GC is 2.5" (I would like it to be 2.750"), spring setup mentioned earlier, shock oil wieght is 60, stock shock limiter moved to the inside, run time is still yet to be determind as I have run it about 45 minutes and it still has a charge. liketocrawl, Why do you suggest this? bigflex, Thanks! To answer some of the other questions, I do plan on blacking the entire thing out. Do I need to strip the green or just paint over it? I ran out off zip ties so I used the battery strapping tape from my carpet car just to get up and running. I am hoping to find some fellow crawlers to share thier secret crawling spots. The pics were taken at a local constrution site. I NEED SOME ROCKS! Thanks Again Fellow Crawlers |
