Default Best Build?

What is the longest you have stuck with one crawler, and why do you like it so much?

My K2, it morphed into a long from a short, but same basic setup.

I keep it because its easy to work on, add stuff to, and looks good.

Probably about 6 months or so. I don't compete much, but I ran it on almost a daily basis for a long while. I haven't in a while because the axle cases belong to Rok_Dok and I don't want to mangle them. As soon as I get my new axles I'll be back to beating the piss out of it daily.

I have a 92' team associated. 10T. It would kick all your asses with rear wheel drive only. But if I added my 4 wheel conversion offered in early 95' I would put all you sorry suckers to shame. Don't make the big dog bite baby.

I'd say about 8-9 months. I've been running a Twin Force crawler ever since I started this sickness back in 2004. Every 2-3 months,it'd get tore down,rebuilt or HEAVILY modified. My current set up though,has stuck with me. I REALLY like the way it works. I've also not had enough time to do much to it Between building my 2.2 Hustler,working out of town,side jobs and everything else life throws at ya. It works very well,so it's been left alone.

Why do I like it? Cause it's a bomb proof Clod crusher
