That's AWESOME!!

Scale and functional, nice work HULK!!

HULK · 04-11-2005, 01:05 PM

I am still gona put in another lathe since it is so heavy, and I willo probably put the regular ciols back on since the little ones just cant hack it. The only way they could would be if I put two full springs in, and hten I would lose a bunch of uptravel. So, I dont know, we will see once the two motors are in how bad the torque twist is..... Thanks.

I'd think 2 motors would help alot, especially in a heavier rig. Standard 4" shocks with heavy springs, Trinity's black springs for example, with some 80w minimum shock oil. That would eliminate alot of torque twist.

Good grief! That is an amazing build. Very clean, very cool looking!

-Did you braze or weld the tube?

HULK · 04-11-2005, 02:12 PM

All MIG welded. I suck at brazing...

DUDE · 04-11-2005, 03:14 PM

CSR · 04-11-2005, 03:19 PM

Awesome rig! I really like the hidden electronics, very well thought out. ;)

Gimbal · 04-11-2005, 03:31 PM

Awesome!

JasonInAugusta · 04-11-2005, 03:45 PM

I'm calling dibs on buying it.

I've got a soft spot for large scale crawlers.

mike · 04-11-2005, 04:00 PM

sweet. looks awsome.

bastard · 04-11-2005, 05:03 PM

If this thing is for sale let me know!!!! I just got off the phone with nick camble for camble ent. And nick and shannon were drooling over it at the shop. They were asking if it was for sale or if hulk sold stuff. Let me know And I will get them in touch with you.

rbgerrish · 04-11-2005, 05:16 PM

Cool! Did you use .023 wire? Argon/Co2 gas? Is it brakeline?

Thanks!
Ryan

HULK · 04-11-2005, 07:07 PM

I use 3/16" solid rod and I use a gas mix on it. Works out pretty well once you figure out the right heat. Thanks guys. This one isnt for sale, but I do build these for people. I am in the vendors section.

rocpede · 04-11-2005, 10:47 PM

that thing is sic to the bone and great work too and what brand of shocks are you using.

HULK · 04-12-2005, 10:27 AM

They are just threaded maxx shocks. I think they are pro line? Just guessing....
