Cole's Crawlmaro

[CarterFab]

The Ultimate Front Inner Fender/Firewall.
We both agree that they look best painted black. Just blend into the chassis when fully assembled.


Will be heading your way in the morning along with the boat sides.

Wow Carter Fab those look great! Job well done! I can't wait to get these on Crawlmaro!

[mud digger]

Tore down Crawlmaro today to get it ready for NWSC and TTC. The new CarterFab innerfenders are on and the bends are quite amazing, they fit perfectly! You may be able to see a little surprise in the background too

Lookin good. Are you using that long bolt to attach them with? I always just run a small 3mm screw through form the inside so there is no visible hardware showing.
Need anything else let me know, got to make sure the lone Wraith is prepared to represent among the full on custom trucks.

Oh no, that's just the shock bolt. I'm thinking I may have to sneak on a CFM badge.... very subdued unless something else comes up.

Update

Finally began reassembling today. Rebuilt the rear axle with the new Vp lockers and strc bearing caps. The lockers look really well thought out, we will see how they hold up at NWSC and TTC. Oh, and fresh fast eddy bearings will be in everywhere.

Failed pinion bearing

The lockers are sweet..... Just got some for my build. Is that a 2speed Ispy back there?

gangster work homie...

[YoUnG_vErSiOn]

awesome rebuild! beef!! and that ax2 will yield warp speed for the mud and low down gear ratio for the Mini RUBI!! Good luck!!

[mud digger]

More work done today, set the endpoints for the shift servo, bolted it up along with the rear axle. Put a tire on just to get an idea of the tranny. It shifts very well, even under high power.





As it sits today.



Also installed some CFM boatsides. Need a new front axle housing, mine has a small hole worn through it. Hopefully more tomorrow.

[CarterFab]

Looking good bud, ready to see this in action in a couple weeks. Good luck

[mud digger]

Thanks guys, only got the new servo winch waterproofed and spooled today, heyok took care if the custom winch control for me, works great.

[Hittman]

Very nice rebuild you have going. This is just getting better all the time

Thanks Hittman, it seems it is never good enough and there is something it could use to be better, always.

Tonight I put a Vp locker, Vp VVD's and my Hd gearset in a new front axle housing. Will paint the chubs and knuckles soon and bolt on to finish the front.

[mud digger]

Front axle is now all buttoned up besides the servo. Also drilled a hole through the upper link mount for a shackle. With no bumpers it was near impossible for a "scale" tow point. I think I fixed that now.

Goal this weekend is to get it all together and try the 2 speed out, then final waterproofing.

Well for all you haters out there that didn't think thi9s was worth it. The Crawlmaro whooped my ass and several other peoples trucks at the 2012 Axial Northwest Scale Champs. It was good meeting you and seeing this truck in action. I was absolutely amazed. Great truck.

[Colby]

Hell yeah! Way to make a great showing with an awesome rig. Getting voted in would feel like a win in my book, getting to drive on the most realistic and challenge course in the US would just be an honor. Congratulations on making it in, and doing well.

Thank you Norm! I wasn't sure how this adventure would turn out but was glad that I felt accepted into the group (Being 17 years old). I cant believe all the action that took place last weekend, it was definitely one I will remember for the rest of my life.

Of course, anyone who had anything to do with this event deserves more than a round of applause, this was just epic. So even if you didn't attend last weekend, literally give our great rccrawler community an applause.
