Well here it is my best shot at makeing a great crawler . Im running one of Double J's da bull chassis useing the trans and axle with links from a scorpion kit. Im running a futaba magnum 3pm with a 18.5 brushless novak super sport crawler motor and esc and the four link set up from RCP Crawlers as well as super soft axial springs and front axle battery mount plates that are from The Crawler Store . And one more thing i just want to say thanks to all the people that support this site and to all the venders with such great parts . Well heres the pics!!! Thats it i just havent had the chance to run it yet and thats the first thing im going to do tomorrow! |

You have positive castor which means your sterring is going to be terrible. Instead of the servo turning the tires it will also have to pick up the weight on the axle to turn. You need the C's to be nearly perpindicular to the ground. Just shorten your upper links and it should be way better. |

| yea i moved the trans back to have room for my motor and that made my axle to short so i took a female end of the drive shaft and cut the end off and glued it one to one of the male shaft ends the other end slides in and out like it should .
