Newb - hello and first crawler

[spiked3]

Just wanted to say hello. I've had a crawler for week now. Seems like I wrench a day, run an hour, wrench a day, order more parts, wrench, run an hour, order more parts I am learning what doesn't work (75 turn motor) and what will fall apart. I tried to follow a lot of advice I read here and so far I am pretty happy. Hopefully a few more small things and I will be ready to run in my first comp.
