>>>>"Cobalt Crawler 5 Chassis" Build<<<<

[TattooKenny]

Raptorman sent me one of his new chassis the "Cobalt Crawler 5" built for us guys that like the big Pullers! I'm one of those guys! There are several different locations for adjustment for squat and anti-squat. There are a ton of shock locations so you can run a slew of different shocks as well! I will be running a HH 7T Puller in mine and there is plenty of room to run a DNA dig (I will put mine on tomorrow, 6am builds and I forget the little things) The top of the chassis comes with 2 plates for mounting your electronics to keep everything clean. Each plate can be moved front or back as he added extra holes in the plates and on the chassis to move them. The tranny plate is very nice and pre cut to run you links inside. He pre drilled mine for a Axial trans, that's what I'm running. I mounted up the tranny and the 7T and was shocked how much room I had left Finaly a chassis we can fit a puller in with a dig and still have room yet keep the chassis small. I got the lower links on and the front shocks mounted. Then onto the upper links. Man this chassis has a TON of adjustment points I have the front axle on now and I'm done for the night guys.....it's 7am and I'm drained! Stay tuned, I should have this done in the next 2 days. So far I'm very happy with the layout and options of this chassisMore to come.......

I wqas waiting for your build. I've always liked that chassis. Looks different from anything ever done..I'm guessing DNA dig unit fits no problem?

[TattooKenny]

Oh yea, there is more than enough room for a dig I'll have one on tomorrow and get's some picts up for ya. I'm just so tired to even start that tonight. But it will fit I promise Oh, and I will have to pull that tranny, the DNA dig will not fit on the aluminum tranny housing that I have on there now.....I have plenty of "Normal" Axial's laying around so it's no biggie.....

Great build Kenny! I will be posting pics of mine with a VF dig as soon as I find my camera.

This chassis does work!! Probably one of the beefiest chassis I have had my destructive hands on!

Kendog, why'd you put the red links in the chassis hole so high up?

7am in the morning 11 holes and I was looking at the axle angle instead of the chassis........I'll change it tonight when I put the dig on

You get screws for the tranny plate and upper plates. See my first pict and that is everything that it comes with it minus the tranny you see in the pict

[Reflection]

WOW! Nice build thread Kenny. I'm glad you like it. Hope it works well for ya. I'm very pleased with mine....kinda biased though. I did a ton of testing with different length uppers and squat/anti squat set ups. I can see certain benefits to several different set ups,so I tried to set this up so the driver can decide what he wants. I know guys run anywhere from itty bitty Revo shocks to 5" buggy shocks. Wanted lots of options there as well. Honestly,I never tried to mount up Revo shocks as I didn't have any on hand when I drew this up or did my testing. I'd like to see if they could be made to work though. I'd bet it'd definitely be a belly dragger though

One thing I've done,is mount the upper plates in the holes your red uppers are in now. Drops the electronics down some. I've also tried mounting everything upside down,under the plates. Both ways work well for dropping weight lower. You may have noticed,the plates and skid are the same width as factory Axial uppers are. Those make great braces if you feel you need a bit more.

Can't wait to see what you can do with this.

You might have a lot of angry sellers on your hands Just got the new dig put on, just got to pull the other trans and puller out and get this one in......fun, fun....I'll have picts before the night is out to show everyone that the dig fit's just fine

[TattooKenny]

Ok boy's and girls, Here are the picts of a DNA dig with servo mount and 7T HH Puller mounted. I also dropped the upper plates down to lower the COG a bit. But as you can see there is a ton of room to get the dig and puller in there yet still keeping the chassis narrow More to come later.....

[TattooKenny]

Ok, we have a roller.....I still have a bit of adjustment to do but it's getting there It's after 5am so I'm going to call it quits for the night.....be back with more soon
