Here's my second shot on customizing one of these. Ingredients = Lots of time + lots of tylenol + loss of sleep. Very satisfied with the results. Time to get rid of this one and start another.

I feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the ropes in gym class, SHA-WING!!

hotchi · 01-11-2006, 04:30 PM

dude, now all u need is some good electronics and servo and u will have a great crawler... oh and i am working on bigger motors

airranger · 01-11-2006, 04:33 PM

sweet truck how do u like those tires? they have no side bite really, but how do they work out?

MSB · 01-11-2006, 06:30 PM

I have a set of G-hawgs on one of my crawlers and really like them. I have cut mine so the fronts look like tsl's or sx's and the rears like boggers. The rubber is thicker than my moabs which I like, even though they don't conform quite as well, since I've cut them I run the truck with them a lot more than the one with moabs.

BagoXCAlum · 01-11-2006, 06:49 PM

I like it! Interesting rear suspension set up too.

Honestly I have'nt ran it long enough to give an official opinion on the tires. I did'nt want to wear the new off as I'm trying to move this one on ebay right now so I can justify spending more money on a my r/c power wheels rock crawling project.

I'll probably pick up another set for another nylint that I'm currently building.

SAY WHAT!?! we need to see this!

that has crossed my mind, but i dunno what could be used for tires besides small ATV tires and none of them are worth a crap....

Lt. Dan · 01-12-2006, 04:44 PM

I'm playing around with the idea of using 4 of the smaller tractor like tires like you find on a small tiller. It's going to be hard to find anything thats the right size and has enough flex. I'll probably custom make the rims.

Thanks. It turned out better than I expected.

bhorocks · 01-12-2006, 10:00 PM

It works out well. The shocks are not limited, except for the resting position on down travel. They can slide up or down the rod depending on which way it twists.

Jamus · 01-13-2006, 03:12 PM

Wow, it went for a good price eh? I don't know exactly how much you had in it, but seems like you got your money back atleast.

bhorocks · 01-13-2006, 09:38 PM

interesting wit hthe rear shocks.

giong for a decent penny now but i hope you get closer to 150 or more. iam sure you have 80 into it at least. tires and rims cost money and the aluminum. hope you get top dollar for it!
