Wow, what a cool build, looks like it a very aggressive micro crawler!

I'm curious about how you got that 180 motor to fit. Does it bolt right in, or did you modify it to fit? Also, I'm wondering what shocks your running? Those are not stock obviously. Do they allow for more flex? And one more question, are those the brass wheel weights for the micro crawler, or the trail trekker?

Went over to my Buddy with RC Scale Worx last night and got a couple of cool 3d items printed for my rig! |

Those new items look fantastic! That grill really sets it off, Mike did a great job on it. |

Got some fender flairs and wheel wells done. Also made some killer tires for it! I loved the size of the rc4wd scramblers, but liked the more aggressive tread of the rock creepers, so I used 6 creepers and the sidewalls from the scramblers and made some really tall creepers! They are fantastic! |

What does it crawl like with the motor ? Does it have enough torque ?

Great car! Looks like you have improved the steering seriously compared to the stock gelande. How did you manage to get that nice steering? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |

With that motor did you have issues with the nut for the upper rear link? Does yours sound obnoxious now, or is it is just MY old servos motor? Definitely more torque, but its noisy now(for me) Great build! Hope its still treating you well. You mentioned trying other motors, any luck? Last edited by SurfinStud; 01-12-2017 at 01:18 AM. |

This motor works brilliant. It is noisier though.

Great build, I like the innovation and execution. Excellent job on the tires. What wheels are those and where did you source them? Thanks crash |
