That thing is a beast. I love it. Where are the batteries though, I didn't see them mounted??? Really an awesome truck, nice stance, alot like the UTRCRC guys.

Re: Project Spider Monkey FINISHED!!!
 

Looks great, I thought of making a crawler out of mad force axle's once I just never got around to making it. Looks sweet I like it.

That is one CLEAN rig. I love that side profile shot. I really wish I could get ahold of a set of TF axles.

Good Job

ryan

Re: Project Spider Monkey FINISHED!!!
 

When did you buy a Rockraider? :?

Re: Project Spider Monkey FINISHED!!!
 

i got one from bigbadwhitey... and it isnt a true rockraider... its a copy, he took the specs and dimensions and copied it.... the only difference is it is held together with 3mm nylocks and 3mm screwss instead of welds

ryan

Re: Project Spider Monkey FINISHED!!!
 

If you don't have a "Rockraider" chassis don't say that your truck whooped up on your other Rockraider chassis truck. Don't say it's a Rockraider when it's not,even though it might be simular,it's still NOT a Rockraider.

It would be about the same as me getting a Dana 60 axle for my Toyota,welding some ribs on the diff cover and saying I have a Dynatrac axle for my Toyota. There might me a few simularities on the outside but the internals are where it count's and thats where the major differences are.

I may be wrong on this but I'm pretty sure Toyofasts Rockraider chassis's are bolted together,not welded.

Re: Project Spider Monkey FINISHED!!!
 

No you are wrong, toyo's chassis is welded, ryan's chassis is bolted together.

Re: Project Spider Monkey FINISHED!!!
 

eric is right you are wrong... and you are sorta right but still wrong it is almost identical minus the fact that it is bolted together and not welded...

ryan :roll:

Re: Project Spider Monkey FINISHED!!!
 

Not to argue with you but I hardly doubt that your copy of our Rockraider is identical to the true thing. Where did the person you bought it from get the true deminsions? I have never given out the measurements of the Rockraider, to anyone. I've given out very vague guesses about the deminsions but never the true deminsions.

Our Rockraider is welded.... BTW. Eric knows what a real Rockraider looks like since he owns the 'Tot :D :cry:

Re: Project Spider Monkey FINISHED!!!
 

and toyo i am not saying it is identical i am just trying to state that it is very similar and he prolly asked around to people he knew owned em... i am not saying that this is a true rockraider just pretty similar.... sry to anyone who is affended by me saying its a rockraider next time ill make it clear that is a copy of a rockraider so no one gets their panties in a waud.... :roll:

Re: Project Spider Monkey FINISHED!!!
 

You said it whooped your rockraider. You made no attempt to say it was a clone of a rockraider. Next time you want to say your chassis is better than a vendor who supports us, try actually having their product. :roll:
