|  G-crawlers Gmade project!
Hello! Im new into this hobby, but i seen a lot of movies and im hooked! I have always liked 1:1 crawling and off road cars and when i did see rc crawling i liked it a lot! I bought a Gmade spider and built the chassie up and it seem to be a pretty good "newbie" chassie to me, but i didnt like the gmade tires and wheels couse they seem to be way to wide, maybe they work good but it made the truck look funny! so i orderd some rc4wd 3.2" beadlocks and some Imex red rocks are on the way, i thougt about moabs at first but red rocks seem to be a better choice for the terrain i got around here. Also got a set of shocks from rc4wd. I just need to order the electronics now and wire it up then i should be good to go! Maybe need some help on wireing..but hey thats whats forums is about tho isnt it?  Well i post 2 pics of it in its present look... http://www.atvcenter.se/modules.php?...627&fullsize=1 http://www.atvcenter.se/modules.php?...626&fullsize=1 |

When you put the tires on the rims take the time to look at the length of the screws that hold the lock ring on. Mine were a little to short, had to use 4 longer screws to draw the ring down and then put the provided screws in. I also installed LSTs on them and the bead is very thick, to the point where I had to turn the tire inside out cut the thickness of the bead in half and then install. I don't know how redrocks will fit. Just a heads up.

I think you said you need more beer, but I'm not sure. I like that color looks good. |

| First run with my crawler
Well finally got the gmade spider reday to crawl! And all i can say about this hobby it that is awsome! I had soo much fun today! But i think i need a set of wheels to fit some moab xl:s on, the red rocks didnt seem to be that good on rocks! but in loose terrain they worked well! Got some pics for the first run, i took them with my mobile phone in the dark so they are kind of blurry, but anyway here they are, get some better tomorrow and maybe a lil film clip! enjoy!        |
