The wheelbase is at 17.5 inches.

Update: Yesterday I got the screws I needed for the beadlocks. They look pretty cool. Just cap screws, but they real nice. I'll get a pic up sometime today.

Hey man if you want to add with to it for 20 bucks you can go to maximizer and pic up the different faceplates to those wheels. They have awesome service and great customer support aswell

Well I was just thinking about getting some wideners. Actually some adapters. I don't really like the other faceplates they make for them. They look too cheap.

Default New Pics

Sorry I didn't get the pics up yesterday like I said I was going to, I just wanted to finish up a few things first.

Ok. Well, last night I started covering all the links but did't finish untill this morning. I would have been finished last night, but somehow all the links eneded up being different lengths.

On the agenda for today is to relock the trannies. Thats going to a pain in the azz because everything is put together.

Stats:
-WB-17.25"
-Chassis clearance- 5.25"
-Under axle clearance- front 2 5/8"
rear 3"
Yes, I do purposely have the front lower than the rear.
-width(outside of one tire to the outside of the other)- will be about 13"

*Just a little other info: Those battery straps are really nice. You can get them at wal-mart for $2 and come in a pack of 8. They're in the electrical section as they are made for organizing wires.

On to the pics.
First pic-the beadlocks all put together.
Second pic-wheel base
Third pic- links covered
Fourth pic- overall above pic of the pede

Well I got the trannies all locked up. I also rewired the motors. The old wires had so many connections in them its no wonder the motors were even able to move. Now It looks a lot cleaner.

So, now I'm just waiting on the esc and I got ahold of the LHS and they have some 14mm hexes in stock, so I'll be taking a ride there tomarrow.

Actually, it was running. I just decided to get better and bigger parts. And the ESC was also fried. I also had other things to do over the summer so it wasn't at the top of my priority list. Now that its cold out, I have time for it.

Got my ESC today, thanks to Red RockCrawler. When my mom gets home I'm we're going to take a trip to the LHS to get some hexes. Can't wait! I'll be sure to get pics of it running.

Default ***pics!!!!!****

Ok. I got some pics of it in action.

It would have done better if the front tranny didn't come unlocked after 3 mins of driving. Anyone know of a really good way to lock a pede tranny that doesnt involve JB weld?

Anyway, heres the pics...

Sorry no vid yet. It gets too dark too early. And now that the trannies came unlocked, its almost pointless trying to crawl. I'll ask my stepdad tomarrow if hes got any Gorrila Glue at the shop. They've got everything there but the right machine to cut out the rock rings. Grrr.

Default Hundreds can't be wrong???

Did you clean out the center gear real well (i.e no grease inside) before using JB weld? Did you let it cure long enough?

Hundreds of us can't be wrong or can we? Good luck and I hope the banana juice glue works.

I didn't use JB weld. I prefer hot glue cause you can always unlock the trannies without having to spend money.
