Default No Name Crawler

I just got this one finished up yesterday. Usually I come up with a name for all my trucks, but didn't even think of one this time. Enjoy the pics!

Also i would narrow it down to 1 motor and a gd600.You'll get some more run time by doing that too.

Damn that's nice.

That thing has gotta be huge!!! I love it!

Any issues with driveline death? I'd think with 14.4 volts, dual motors and GD600's you'd have an axles twisting, gear crunching amount of torque.

Man.........I can't believe you made KONG's look scale.................

LOL! Good names guys! I kinda like "Red Bull"
Here is the specs on the truck
evx with titans
twin gd600s
revo shafts w/aluminum extensions
locked front/rear diffs
metal gear servos front/rear
independent steer in rear
savage shocks
cut kongs with valve stems in wheels
mig welded steel chassis
red anodized paint
21" wheelbase
I have driven the truck a couple times and didn't have a single part break. I am taking it up to my Grandfather's house in the mountains next week, so I will be putting it to the test on some big rocks. I will take some pics as well.

that is sweet. that is very very sweet. you throw some body panels on it and it would be hella sweet.

you so much could use some el-cheapo cs-80 1/4 scale servos on that. if you havent witnessed them you cant imagine how easy they will turn them kongs. i promise.

what axles are they? it looks like twin force axles but im not sure. ive heard that twin axles are very tough , so mabey thats why you havent broken anything.
that is cool though, ive been waiting to see a big scale crawler . that seems like it would be a blast to drive.

Very cool rig, I dig the HUGE scale.

The name "Red Rover" is running through my head.

Default Very nice...

That thing is really great looking and there is some really nice workmanship in it which makes it look that much better. Very clean and functional.

How about Grande Rogue for a rather unique moniker.

Phat Daddy. That thing is huge! Anytime Kongs look like BFT's in terms of scale, you're talking a big truck. And 14.4v. Heifer maybe? You are the Milk Man...

Great looking work MilkMan! I do think that some body panels would be cool though, the electronics get kinda "lost" in such a big open space. It almost reminds me of that Monster Jam (I think?) truck with all the seats in the back that they take people for rides in.
