Default trying to build a crawler.

Well, after reading MNSTR's build-ups, I decided I'd try to build a crawler. So far, I've got two pieces of steel plate (thick and heavy), an
evader Tranny, looking for savage shocks, and either TLT, X-Factor or Wheely King axles, high torque motor(s) batt's, Diffs, wheels and tires. I've drawn out a chassis design as well as roll-bar, motor brace, and shock extenders. Pics are below..




constructive criticism is appreciated.

that looks pretty cool!
all I can suggest is steel isnt the greatest material to use...its pretty heavy and depending on what tools you have access to, hard to cut. You might want to gather your other parts first to see how they measure up so you can get the proportions right. But cool idea! Good to see people being inventive!
