Pick-up a lathe motor to replace the 550, they have more torque.

i dunno about the rockers, its probably a lot easier and better to just mount them like everyone else around here, but if you get it to work, go you!

I highly suggest ya ditch that Titan motor. it is intended for 14.4 volts.. running one Titan motor on one battery will only cause it to run at half speed.. get a lathe motor or a Magnetic mayham motor...lathes are better unless your gonna run a GD600 reduction unit also

( this is what spookyseven said) I want the rockers there because it is something you don't see.  And you won't bend your shocks if you roll it and hit a rock. Your right it MIGHT be easier to do it like everybody else, but I not like every body eles.  Almost every thing in my crawler is going to be custom.  |
