i like the paint job. mine was like that but i had lockers and servo on axle. the stock servo does good under water. i drove mine through puddles and half the car was under waterr. now ive shipped my axles off and have tlts comming.

If you plan on doing some serious rock crawling, you may want to think about limiting some of the flex. Too much flex is a bad thing sometimes. Other than that, it's a nice rig. I like the paint & the body.

jw, why do you have a receiver box, but the esc is outside of it?

thx man...the body i have now is just one off a nikko hummer toy i had when i was little its plastic not lexan...im planning on getting a jeep body soon and having it custom painted by my friend that does any awesome job

[resetpunk]

well i got my motor, pinion and spur gear today and heres some pics of it installed...ill get a vid later but i was driving it on my dead stock battery just to see how smooth it is and how much torque it has and on my dead battery it was climbing up walls and the smoothness on the control is unbelievable i love this motor already well time to go hit the rocks





heres a pic of my crawler and my dads brand spankin new t-maxx 3.3 just got it last night

[clod & bruiser]

hey how exactly do you do a chassis flip?

[resetpunk]

the easiest way that ive read how to is to completely disconnect the axles and flip them but..i didnt do mine that way (only cuz i hadnt heard of it yet) but i disconnected the axles with the shocks still attached to the axles and flipped the chassis now when u do this u must move the bellcrank to the other side and take the allthread that goes from the bellcrank to the axle and move it to the other side..OR if u cant understand how to do it by my explaining check this out and it should help u ;)

Chassis Flip Guide

well on a second note a bent shock piston and a broken driveshaft later my new motor had it first run threw it..the driveshaft just popped off the yoke no biggy that was a quick fix but my shock piston has bent for the second time now :( so i think its time for new shocks...my stock esc didnt even get warm and the motor was hardly even warm at all to..but all in all the novak 55t did awesome
