Crawllife's 2016 sucker punch

[Crawllife]

After leaving 5D when Trav gave it up, I thought my time with my crawling family was up. Luckily, thanks to Chris and Dan ( and a 120* conversation at worlds), I learned I had a shot to come home. I'll be posting up pics of the parts slowly because so much went into both my new builds and I don't want any misinformation.

I was lucky to get my hands on an all white SP. I wanted color themed builds and we had some fun with this one.

1st of many sick parts is a one off skid designed to take a ccc trans. The craftsmanship of the skid is second to none and the ccc trans is still the best I've seen.

Another killer new part is our batt mount. I for one have struggled in the past with batts coming lose and dragging during runs. With how light transmissions have gotten and as light as packs are, it's a great way to balance the little bit of weight that's up there, protect the pack and an added bonus, the rod ends of the uppers would keep it in place if it were to come loose. Some Velcro on the back of the batt keeps it stationary through my runs. If you've seen me drive, you know that's impressive. Haha!!

You can also see red al hardware was used where I was comfortable and steel where appropriate. Rc4wd gears sit in the trans.

Really nice build begin, hope to see it come alive soon and which body you will reserve to it????i am doing the mark 2 build and began to collect parts for a sporty and i have 3 châssis in mind and the sucker punch is in! !

Look at you with your white rod ends and all!! The all white theme with the red hardware looks SICK!! Almost a shame to cover it up with a body, although I'm sure the body will be pretty bad ass as well!

Great start! I love that white sp chassis too

[Crawllife]

Thanks guys. The lid is next level IMO so I'm sure you will dig it. When I gave up painting, I sided with KK. It's something else!

You can see with the custom skid how nice and tidy the trans and 400 fit

Thanks to my friend and teammate mammoth, I scored these ar60's mid build. I know this is the scorpion section and that is how the build started off so....

You can see we used scale chubs and knucks, Dlux killed some matching white trusses, rcbros servo tabs, the standard 7950 and again, red aluminum hardware were it was thought appropriate. I know y'all see those shocks and they're pretty and all but we didn't actually go with those in the long run. That's the only reason they aren't being mentioned.

Then this is what she looked like spread out before link set 1. Just like my pro thread there is a " how it started" and a " what we went with" set of pics

Here is a shot of the faces 5D cut for my dlux beadlocks. I love the wheels and have no desire to switch. Luckily Erik was cool to let us play with them.

Skins are a home run! Check my berg thread to see how the pro and sporty skins match.
