|  The Start of My Twin Crawler ***Update 5/30*** I started my twin force crawler a couple weeks ago. The main thing I have to do yet is go out and get a nice mig welder so I can make up a tube frame. I also have to finish customizing the 2 other kong tires. Here are some pics of my custom kongs mounted on one of the axles. The wheels have valve stems in them so I can fill them with air. They are almost 9 inches tall filled. I will update again when I start the frame.   Last edited by Milk Man Concepts; 05-30-2005 at 01:30 PM. |

| I got some more work done on my crawler this week. I got the twin gd600's hooked up along with some titan motors. I also worked out the drive shafts with an aluminum spacer so that I could run a 20 inch wheelbase.   |

| I am not using the Twin tranny because I already sold it. I had an extra maxx tranny layin around so I decided to use it. Thanks for the compliments on my site and the Dodge Ram. It is 1/64th scale and I built the whole suspension for it. Thanks..........Aaron |

| Here is another update.........I did a little moch up of the wheelbase with the tires on along with the tranny. After doing that I noticed the motors were really high up, so I reworked the mounts for the gd600s. Now they are much lower. Hopefully the next update with be of the tube chassis in progress......Aaron   |

| Well I haven't got to start the chassis yet. I am going out this weekend to buy a nice mig welder so I can get started. It shouldn't take me long to get it all welded up. I just cut the hole bigger in the revo shaft so that it fit. It only takes a little cutting. If it breaks I will try something else, but I am not worried about it. |

| this rig is lookin awesome! can't wait to see how the chassis comes out. I bore out my revo shafts for my force also. The revo shafts are very beefy so it doesn't hurt them to take off 2mm. |

| I think I`m in love, with the kongs. Are those Mad Force wheels on them? Do those have the same mounting patterns as a T maxx? |

| Alright I finally got a welder and got to work on the chassis. It is coming along pretty well. I have about 6 hours of work into it and have at least another 6 to go. Enjoy!  |
