Here are some really awsome and sharp pics of my crawler in action--

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

(BTW, these pictures were taken on the crawler course I made. See my thread How to build a crawling course: step-by-step ...... Located in the Tips, Cheap Tricks/Parts guide thread.)

Thank you! Actually, those tires and wheels came off my new Monster GT. They work great for crawling, and are soft and durable. And the chassis is a NN from www.tcscrawlers.com . And thanks again for the comments!

people used to crawl with the BFG's but they arent that great of a tire anymore. no offence to you though. it did look like an NN to me i just couldnt tell without an offbody pic. i likes.

I know they did, I am one of the people who did. I still think they are great. For the surfaces that I crawl on (smooth and very bumpy rocks are what my course if comprised of,) and these tires perform awsome. I had a set of Moab XL's on a set of BFT rims a while back, and the moabs just didnt cut it in the grip factor for me. Also, with a little bit of traction compound on these tires, they are even better.

Thanks. Here is a thread I made on my old account--How to build a crawling course: step-by-step

And I am running the stock links that came with the NN chassis. I have a 55/45 wheelbase with it. 16.5''

Krawlin · 07-23-2007, 10:06 PM

Nope

Nice looking truck.

I like the NN chassis.

Sorry. And thanks. Personally, I think the NN, next behind the Stick, is one of the best chassis out there.

And I couldn't really do much about the body color. It came off of my Monster GT, and I dont know how to paint very well, so I don't really pay attention to it. But I do agree, it does seem a bit over powering.

How? Moab XLs have a 40 series inner diameter, from what I know, BFT rims are standard maxx size.

I know they are bigger.... read on....

At the time I bought the Moab XL's, I didnt really understand the whole "40 series" thing. I Had purchased them, and when I was ready to mount them, thats when I realized they had too large of a diameter. But also since they were a bit wider too, I figured it would make em taller by mounting them on narrower rims. Also, I cut out a section of the tire and glued it back together to make it fit properly, and then proceded to mount them on the BFT rims.

Your camera takes nice pictures but I think you need to
re-think the focal point on some of your pictures.

damion289 · 07-24-2007, 02:49 PM

Don't have anything to add. I just wanted to get my 100th post here. YAY for me.. lol

Nahh it does do nice but he's right and maybe change your lighting a little. The angle will help

Thanks, and sorry about the lighting and such.... it was pretty early in the morning before it got really hot outside, and I wanted to get the pics in before then. Next time I will try to take them more around dusk or early dawn.

I thought the angle was fine but what ever. Like I said above, it was the wrong time of day with the wrong kind of light.

damion289 · 07-24-2007, 05:59 PM

It's cool. If you use one of the large reflectors to bounce the light under the rig it'll take the shadows away and make the colors brighter.
