Got the rig back from angryone. Clay really made this cage into what I had envisioned. It was all him on the sliders and bumpers. Rear steer, body work and electronics to come. Last couple pictures are with 2.2 Sedona's and 2.2 Khaos (Class 3 legal right now ?? ! ! !  )

Get to work son. I'm ready to see this thing in action. Those axles got crazy diff clearance. Think I might have to get a set for my buggy build. How much wider than an axial are they?

Clay had been sending me pics of this thing as he was building it and I had to keep quiet  . I'm so glad you have it now Shane, because it turned out great! I'm looking forward to seeing is completed.

Searched wal-mart last night for an hour looking for the right box to this but didn't find anything. So I made one out of styrene. Bent a thin piece of aluminum into an "L" to support it underneath. Fills in some of the gap up by the head lights. Still need to make the lid. If it doesn't look square, it's probably not. Added some lexan fenders from a cut up Recaro seat package. Should hold the Holmes Hobbies BR-XL, Castle BEC, Receiver and wireless winch controller. Last edited by Szczerba; 07-31-2011 at 07:15 PM. | |

| Rear steer
REAR STEER: Using RCP Crawler TLT CVD parts. Servo and linkage are mock up for now. Ground down the link bracket to sit the servo a down a little further. Probably will raise up the steering linkage to get back some of the ground clearance from the current mock setup. Sitting about 8lbs right now. Still need to add a little more styrene work on the rear fenders and sure up the mounts for the body to the frame. I had to drill out the rear C's for them to fit some shoulder bolts I had. I didn't have any G-Made one's. Had to drill out to just under 6mm sized hole. Still thinking of lowering the body a little more. I can still go about 1/4-1/2" or so. Couple poser shots. First time on the rocks! Last edited by Szczerba; 07-31-2011 at 08:18 PM. |

That's looking really good. I'm not a Jeep guy and this makes 3 that I've done and want the 2 that aren't in my possession back. Maybe I am a closet Jeep guy. Haha

It doesn't look that bad with the Pitbulls. They just don't look that scale due to the lug spacing.

I'll stick with the boggers. Just keeping the PitBulls around plus I like the CR-01 wheels. With some barrel head 2mm screw it will make em pop. I am almost there. Electronics are in. Just need to do some minor body work, paint, finish the electronics and get a better steering link for the rear. | |
