Default winter project started

*Updated 3/12/08*


Here's a little project I'm working on. Thought I'd share to keep me on track this winter. Lots of snow here so this build will be drawn out through the next couple months.

Its just some poser pics so give me a break on it lol.
Wrecker chassis
Wheely king axels,
axial trans
12/87 gears
Rc4wd 5mm to 6mm adapters
Maxx shafts
Pede top shaft/slipper combo
Kreepy krawler top link mounts
Kreepy krawler lock jaws
Kreepy krawler servo mount
15c 1500mah 2c lipo
Rc4wd rear axel lockouts
Ti steering links
Pen covered bottom links
8/32 and jato rod ends
Axial beadlocks
Last years M2 moabs (shaved to get a hard edge back)
Powdered foams
Venom temp guage
mostly stock electronics for now.


I'm hopeing to have the cheapest yet capable crawler for our local meets.

I like the rear panel you put behind where the "seats" would go, makes it really clean looking.

Thank you. Will be cleaner than that when done. That's just leftover tailgate from a dovetail gone wrong. I'm gonna do one in the front as well. Might go with a truck looking side panel and hood. We will see.


Anyone wants this chassis pm wrecker. He has got the hook up on these for a great price

Yeah, I build all of my chassis myself, but I only build them when I have spare time or am bored. I'm not a vendor on here and don't really want to be because I only build these for fun, not to make any money. I don't want to break any rules here, so just keep that in mind.

Glad you like it C_K! Now who wants to trade for an r2? J/k. How's your scaler coming? You any farther than I am on my tuber? I got some more scale goodies if your looking to get rid of some crap that might help my cause.

Thanks for looking guys. This will be my daily driver /comp rig so if there's any tips or suggestions please feel free to mention them.

Sadly its in a box ready to ship. Might not work out tho. The buyer ignored my po mo request and has a hidden email addy so I'm not very confident that this mo will clear. Other than that everything is good lol

No holes drilled yet. I need some tranny output extensions before I drill perminatly. The main skid is longer than the axial tranny out puts. Ill post when I get more done

You shouldn't have any problems with the shafts hitting the skid. The skid is just as long as the skid on my sw3 and I'm using 2.5 maxx shafts and they just barely touch at full extension.

Good to know. Ill try it once I get the right knuckles to fit the axial trans. Still think I got to grind the output to fit the traxxis shafts but we will see

Thanks. I'm still hung up on drive shaft options tho. If anyone knows the best way to get maxx shafts on an axial trans please let me know.
