Default Any interest in finishing my crawler?

are there vendors or hobbyist that will take on a pile of my parts and turn it into a crawler? im having trouble sitting up my links and suspension in general. I never thought i'd resort to this but my time is so darn limited and when I even look at my crawler I get unmotivated. at this rate it may never get finished.

I might be interested. I am not the most experienced, but I enjoy building more than running.

If you don't get a better offer let me know.

I am assuming there is no out of pocket expenses on my side.

Youre missing out building and tweaking the design is half the fun.

I'm interested. You can check out my last build in the scale 1.9 threads. Shoot me a p.m. if you wanna discuss it further.

I have a 1 and 3 year old and work like crazy, trust me I know how you feel. You need to build bits and pieces, get a to go tool box and take a part to work with you, build it on your lunch break. These builds just dont happen over night, my last XR took about 3 months.

Some of the best builds that I have done or have seen has taken months or even years. Just adding 2 to 3 bolts/parts a day or even a week. Not just in rc crawlers. If you finish it yourself it tends to be closer to your vision and you tend to feel better about it.

On the other hand if you are wanting it done fast by a experienced builder and dont have the time at all it is very understandable. I have 4 rc builds on hold because of my currently busy schedule with the impending move.
