When did ZORLAC change his user name?

Very impressive fabrication skills there rc-guy. Are you running equal length links front and back? The chassis seems to be quite far back in relation to the centre of the wheels base.

I don't think he changed his user name I just think think someone hacked up one of his frames.....j/k..Seems to look a lot like a Nemesis to me though...

What was the outcome. Was toying with the idea of using my R2j tuber with bully's but wanted to see how other tubers are working with them before I give up my 2nd ax10.

ok its been a while for me to post anything on this build but i have been busy racing 1/8 but just finished getting my crawler together and tried a test run. and well ting i have to work on shock oil wieght and placement. as the there seem to be some issues with clumbing over some things like stairs. the chassis likes to ride up and extend the shocks. maybe have to buy a chassis for it but i will work on this one as long as i can. to add it does clumb up a piece of ply wood with an angle of about 60 deg. which i thinbk is not bad for home built. more to come with maybe a video..lol of my bad crawling
