Cool East End Machine

I just recently got a crawler kit for EEM( eastend machine) and I am having some issues with the bent links. I can't get the links to mate up with the center when I use the supplied drive shafts, it kicks the axles to far out. If anyone else has the EEM kit please send some pics of the kit installed I can then figure it out from there ........or at least try.

Or better yet if anyone has a diagram of how to install the kit upload that to and post it on here.


Thanks

Rod

You have to cut the drive shafts down to fit after the links are installed. The STRC crawler kit is the basic component of the package. Check out the STRC website they have instructions there for the kit. http://www.teamstrc.com/ebproductdet...ainid=8&id=118 If you still have problems call me at the shop or Pm me or e-mail me directly.
Thanks

I had just sent you all an email to let you guys know that I got everything to fit, it looks great I'll post some pics up later on to show the difference.


Thanks

But of course....the wheely king had the bigger motor....65t vs their 55t's, it was all fun though....can't wait to go up North to Wisconsin in July to see what they have in store.

Nope they wouldn't fit on the inside of the frame, I always like to be different , not really seen the links mounted on the outside on any other of the wheely kings, they seem to work fine no problems so far, they hooked up on the rocks pretty good that way to.
