|  Mr. Droopy he's so droopy rebuild
I bought just the tube chassis from brushlessnut. I'm changing it up from a tlt droop to a wheely king droop. I plan on changing the panels to thin lexan painted red. It will be powered by a holmes revolver r1 or r2, Mamba 25, tower pro servo. The shocks are just for mock up. I'm waiting on crawler store diff lockers to come in. Tranny is going to a b3 locked with a 62pyro diff locker. or a r2 that I have coming don't know which one yet. On to the pictures: The Chassis   The axles:  Mock up for upper links:   Last edited by Red Rockcrawler; 06-09-2007 at 06:57 PM. |

Looks good. I like the jig you made for holding the axles.

I made the jig so I can set it up for 12.5 wheel base. On anything with a 2.2 wheel.

I came home today and had new parts from the crawler store.  So I took apart the front and rear axles and installed the new lockers.  Shaved the front of the link mounts down so they don't grab anything.  Last edited by Red Rockcrawler; 06-09-2007 at 06:58 PM. |

I'm waiting on parts in the mail and from my local hobby town. But here is pics of the tranny options that I'm putting in it and the motor to power it. Here is what I want to run if it fits.  If not a b3 tranny had to order a new main gear because the one that I got is locked with hot glue and has some chips in the teeth. I'm using a 62 pyro diff locker on the new one that I ordered from my hobby town.   Here is the power for my crawler  Last edited by Red Rockcrawler; 06-04-2007 at 11:21 PM. |
