Cole's Crawlmaro Well, this is my first build thread and I'm 17 so I'll do my best. It started out as a RTR wraith geared more toward speed than crawling. I absolutely love the southern buggy builds here on rcc so I pmed the great warriorsimi a few months ago about building a tuber. After realizing I cant afford it lol, he throws me a deal on his wraith chassis with custom delrin rear cage work and nothing less of resembling the Crawlmaro. I had to have it. As of now here are the specs Tekin pro4 3300kv MMP BEC Savox Servo dx3c VP chubs, knuckles, rear lockouts VP links 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Body Mayhem Monster EX wheels Proline 90mm shocks RC4WD 2.2 Two Face Tires= Garbage Servo winch HD F/R ring & pinion HR spools Wraith Kit front axle shafts RC4WD Warn Hubs RR Tranny gears MIP Driveshafts Just before the chassis swap http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/membe...2371-32564.jpg http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/membe...2596-32596.jpg How it came minus wheels/tires http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/membe...2596-32604.jpg http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/membe...2596-32601.jpg http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/membe...2596-32603.jpg And both Crawlmaro's and my first comp.....

The tires were manageable on dry rock, but its safe to say they are garbage compared to a good tire like ripsaws. The Two Faces really are awful on wet rock. I will never use them again. But at least they looked cool :roll: Also due to Crawlmaro learning how to swim, only the receiver fried, so no big D 8) |
Re: Cole's Crawlmaro Looks like you made a smart buy. Excellent pictures. "thumbsup" |
Re: Cole's Crawlmaro That looks brilliant, given me a few ideas for different looks for my Wraiths that I may not have considered. |
Re: Cole's Crawlmaro Do work driver! It's nice to see this finally made it. Waterproof the hell outta it and get it back with some decent wheels. Would love to see this at Northwest Scale championships. It's rides like this that are under appreciated. In all honesty, people with wraith don't have a clue. If only the would venture into the 2.2 section and see real trucks. |

Re: Cole's Crawlmaro nice to see a different look of the wraith...bumblebee yellow and black would have been cooler, but that's just me |

Re: Cole's Crawlmaro Quote:
All Im saying is The Wraith is a great Truck. But its a kit and every single one out there is the same as the next one. This on other hand is thinking outside of the box. |

Re: Cole's Crawlmaro Congratulations on a sweet and original build. Just be prepared for people copying the idea. |
Re: Cole's Crawlmaro looks sick!!! I like the RC version over the real thing. The real thing never sat right with me. |
Re: Cole's Crawlmaro Has anyone done a write up on water proofing the pro4? After seeing those photos we deffantly know you did it right. |
