|  my savage/scorpion/tuber project
started building this crawler to see how cheaply i could get into the sport. i modeled it after my favorite rig, the scorpion. as it sits i have $150 bucks wrapped up, including a tekin rebel 2 and some high torque servos for the 4 wheel steering. let me know what you guys think and or if you have any suggestions on how to finish it.

Hey it's lookin killer, nice work on the chassis. You should edit the post, and put the pictures on seperate lines so they are lined up above and below eachother. Makes it much easier, but i like the build a lot! keep it up

That looks killer! I hope holding the shock on with wire is temporary.

yeah the wire is temporary, i was not sure how to mount the shocks for the best articulation. and i dont know if these shocks are what i want to run. they are from a savage.

i am going out of town for a couple months (military crap) but i will post more pics when i return. i am taking it with me, and hope to have all the body panels done, a windshield in, and motor plate. iwas considering using two axle snapper lathe motors, and two battery packs for a long run time and weight up front. ???
