Gotca on the measurement! I think your right, that angle on the ruler was throwing me off a bit! One sick little crawler I'm still waiting on my mini Fatdog for my LMC to get in! Should be just about the same size Looks like Mini is the way of the future!!! |

3/16" brakeline, so steel. What you're suggesting will work, but it'll be a lot heavier. 3/16" round stock will also be a lot harder to bend and cut. It'll definitely be indestructible though!

Tre, That thing is sweet! And alot smaller then it looks once I seen it in Ecolis hand WOW! That small would be a pain to build. How do you like the Outcrappers ?

| Action Shots and results
Okay so i managed to get out to our compsite this weekend and shot some action pics of the little skunk. she handles very well and i think she will do ALOT better after i go droop. i decided to run the gladiators that i got from kaetwo and man they HOOK up on the rock we have here. even thoe the rocks were all SUB-FREEZING temps. heres a few shots from the outing. - tre |

Great idea on the bolt in plate, and will the skid be pre-drilled for the MRC transmission? | |

As I said before, Tre's design is a little more geared towards a comp rig. After thinking about it, the bonus of getting the bolt-in design is you can remove the stock plates/skid afterwards if you want and just use the bellypan like on Tre's. | |

Built one for myself Made a few changes, the biggest being that this bolts up all the stock components. Thanks to 666 for the axle mounted battery pack idea Will be testing out some MLST once they arrive, but I can't see there being problems with clearance. |
