|  Rebuild plasti king.
Started a thread on the 24 th, it seems the site went down yesterday and I lost everything I posted:( Here is what I started with.   only things I am going to change are the chassis and bumpers. Going to add sliders and tube fenders. Here is the chassis with the trans mounted and the rear axel mounted.  Front suspension on.  |

I wish I could go brushless, no work = no new power system. Rooster crawler 55 turn and 8nimh cells. Dont know the weight but as it sits now it is no heaver than the plastic chassis. |

I was thinkin' I'd take a page from your play book and rebuild my crawler chassis with some plastic and go for the scale look. What did you use on yours? I'm thinking tight budget + the WalMart = cutting board. Your thoughts... Last edited by Army RC Crawler; 01-31-2012 at 09:11 PM. | |

You nailed it walmart cutting board 8x11 I think is only $4 make sure you get the thick one (about 1/4" inch thick). Wood screws held it together. Ask if you have any questions. |
