Default My Build Named "Magoo"

Well after taking a 2 year break from crawling I decided to trade my MGT for a king. I looked at buying an axial but never was a fan for jumping on the band wagon. Upon arrival the lovely USPS sat on the box or that's what it looked like so the shocks where junk. Put some 1/8th buggy big bores on to see if it ran after 2 minutes I decided this piece of crap needed destroyed. So i tore everything apart. Looking closer at the tranny I could tell it wasn't worth my time to clock for my brushless motor so it went south. Anyways heres the build specs:

wheely king axles locked
T3 tranny
home made chassis
T3 rear shocks all the way around
some cheap futaba servo till I kill it then my over kill servo goes in
mamba max esc
crawlmaster motor
2.2 swamp dawgs for now just cuz they look cool
3800mah hump pack on axle

Will add pictures later when I get decent ones taken today.

Well here are a few teaser shots. I still need to get off my rear and get my dig built which I know how I'm doing it, I just need to do it lol. I know the chassis is plexi glass but with the way it is there is very minumal flex. I have a small amount of torque twist but it twists the opposite way of all my other shafties so it is fun trying to figure that out.

Still need to order new cells for new packs but trying to decide if I want to stay with nimh or go to 11.1v lipo. Belly sits just over 2.5" off the ground.

Well made a new 8 cell AA pack for now till I decide what I want to run. Got sick of the crawl master issues everyone seem to be plagued with so I wound up a 35t motor for now and if I like it enough I will wind up one in a race can I have sitting here.
