It could be made to work. Would it be hard,I dunno,probly. Would it look good? IMO,no. Is it worth $200? not to me. But,if your stuck on it and like it,it could be made to work | |

I have one of the older versions of that chassis, the one without the cantilever setup. It works ok for crawling but it is kinda heavy and alot of the weight is up high. like stated above it meant to be a scale like monster truck... I got mine for a good deal off someone several years ago and he had it setup for speed and general bashing, 14t motors and foward only race esc, ect... I'm in the process of turning it into more of a crawler/basher, new motors, a reversable esc, locked diffs, ect... I think it looks really cool either way... |

|  chassis
Yea, they are way to top heavy to be a good crawler. And I dont know about anybody else but when I got mine (5 years ago) it was not square at all.

The link mounts on mine aren't all in the same place, kinda like they just held the parts in one hand and the welder in the other and hoped for the best! | |
