This is my first crawler build, I'll be modeling it after my 1:1 crawler build (which is in progress).







Why it's called reptar: Reptar - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Ha, the rc for sure. working In a hobby shop helps out with that. And I'm downtown, but we should get some meets going around alum rock!


I'll be updating this as the build progresses. I have some losi shocks, fxr/45t combo, and some other little bits on the way.

Have some Mickey Thompson TTC Baja Claw tires coming but I had to see it on some tires.







It comes in at a 13.3" wheelbase.

Can anyone recommend some good wheel extensions? I want a little more width.

Cut this body up for fun, I like the front but really hate what I did with the rear . It's also really nice not having a frame to hit my steering

Finally got some time into this build.

Took me a while but I figured out a way to mount a battery to the front fo this thing. May not look like it but It's rock solid







What do you guys think?

Absolutely loving this thing so far! Tires don't seem to bite all that well though.

Looking good, I have found claws have better bite when run backwards
