| bumper for the caddy
I built a bumper last night and this morning. I was going to add a single loop inside the body for a little extra structure, but after testing having the fenders exo'd really helps with body stiffness. The stinger helps A LOT with coming forward to steep and flipping the helps get up some rocks where before the body would just flex and bind... oh and I dont need front body clips anymore!! its a little tight getting the body in but not hard. Im planning on supporting it across directly above the servo that way I can have my battery as far forward as possible.. enjoy! Last edited by TOYOTAS; 12-17-2011 at 02:39 PM. |

depending on the meterial you used, it will most likly need more bracing after some use.

thanks! thats kinda what I was going for,but I really just thought itd be funny to have an escalade crawler.. it actually has a better roll back over than my buddies VW ax10, theres hardly ever a time with these tires and that body that it wont flip itself back over. Ive been very pleased so far. |
