| Seen one edge, you seen em all, but this one's got real carbon fiber body panels. OMFG ha? This sh*t itches when you cut it. I didn't wear a mask either. I breathed in every single fiber of carbon while I was cutting it I need new shocks. Those things are butt ugly. Someday it might even have a motor and electronics Last edited by knuckleslammer; 04-15-2009 at 11:06 PM. |

Actually it's not the coffee, it's because I've gotten 3 hours of sleep for the past 3 nights because of this F'N car. It's unreal how when your wrenching that 5 hours goes by in 5 minutes. I'm burned out. I should have started with 1 crawler, not 2. I'm assembling a clod type crawler as well | |

| Thanks, I wish I had go the shiny carbon fiber veneer. Looks better than the dull flat. I put some xspede steel drive shafts / ujoints and some hot racing internal springs on this roller. So it's basically new although I got the frame used. Rebuilt the whole thing. Axles, hubs, gears, aluminum gear box. Now I'm thinking of selling it as my clod is draining me dry. Every F'N thing you need is at least $20 because it for RC, you know? Between the two vehicles, I've spent over 2k at least and I still don't have everything I need to get them running. Wish I started off with just one. Oh well. Don't be surprised if you see this one listed for sale. |

| Its for sale, within a lot of all my stuff. DONE !!! Thanks for the compliments. It kills me to do this but I got kids, wife, ft job, pt musician. No time. I've been ignoring my family for weeks. I got ocd when I get into something. I can't put it down. I think about parts 24/7 and I feel like I'm losing my mind. But that's just my personality. All or nothing. Nothing is what I chose :-( |

| That sucks that you have chosen to let it go! "All or nothing". I chose all...and now I'm broke. But hey, my crawler kicks some serious ass! lol I love those panels! I'm almost finished making all of mine out of lexan. It will be fully enclosed when I'm done. Last edited by Mayze; 04-24-2009 at 05:41 AM. |
