|  My first crawler build I wanted to share with you my CC. It was my first crawler and it has been a blast for all the more it cost. I didn't do any build photos, but just wanted show it off a little before I gut it. I am planning on using the motors and esc on another build,and basically put the stock stuff back in it. I replaced all of the diff gears with the metal ones and used the ball bearing upgrade. I installed all of the Duratrax optional upgrade alloy parts. I do not recommend the links. They break very easy at the threaded ends. I installed Holmes cobalt motors, RC4WD ESC, RC4WD 3ch crawler radio,and Vennom metal gear servos. I definately enjoyed the build, but had alittle bit of buyers remorse after spending all that money on a rig that is not a serious comp competitor. With the money I spent in just the DTX hop ups I could of bought a 2.2 kit. O-Well it gave me some good experience in builds and would of done it again. Thanks for looking! |

| You will need to resize your pics, I need to do that too. Open your picture with Microsoft Paint or a similar program that will allow you to resize and you may have to shrink the pic as far as 25% of the original size. Hope this helps. |

| Thanks, now I can post my pics. Since these pics were taken, I tore it down and started putting it together on a RCP Bastard Chassis. I will post some pics of it too. |

| This rig has been torn down, and sitting around for several months. I hated seeing all that stuff just sitting in a box,so I decided it was time to do something with it. I was inspired by an article in Radio Control Rock Crawler. I picked up a Havoc Chassis and skid, and some Axial Links. I had a Proline VW body, a set of chisels,and a set of Axial bead locks. I put it all together and it is a very capable crawler. It is one of my favorite rigs. |

| Looks really good, make sure you post up your comp results. Curious to see how it does against some other comp rigs. |

| It was pretty much all bolt on. The only thing I had to do was clearance the link mounts for the motors. |
