i bought a redcat super crawler back in the summer the more i played the more it changed sorry i dont have pics at every stage but i will post some of its current form.

the parts list is as follows:
redcat super axles
65T silver cans
holmes torquemaster brxl esc
7950th servos
punk dig
ko propo ex1-ur radio
8 cell nimh saddle pack
stock redcat beadlocks narrowed to 1.75" for now ( till i get the big ones in the mail)
40 series crushers
custom suspension/ servo mounts by me they will be refined slightly and made from aluminum shortly
BTA steering by me very easy with these axles just turn the knuckles around and move the tie rod to the top of the knuckles.

i will get a few pics shortly and some more detailed ones later.

Did you feed your RedCat steroids??
Its BEASTLY...

Whats it like driving it now? Do the servos handle the tires ok?
The Body off another redcat model?

Congrats on it man, its one of a kind!

the hitec servos handle the tires well at 6v. every once in a while i get them bound up i think 7.2v will fix that problem.

it still doesnt quite have the wheel speed i would like i think im gonna go to 12v on the batteries and see how that works.

the body is a 1/10th scale redcat something i dont remember. im a heavy truck and equipment mechanic i couldnt find a dozer body so i thought this one fit pretty well.

these axles can be bought piece meal from redcat on the cheap i think they are a good base for a low budget monster.

ill try to get some pics tomorrow of the monster bling wheels i got in the mail today with the biggest plowboys ever made mounted on them. Novas Ark hooked me up right/

got a hustler se tuber chassis coming thanks to 70duncan.

and i will try to get pics of the new wheels tomorrow i got them narrowed tonight still got to glue the tires.

70duncan · 12-23-2009, 09:33 AM

It will be nice to see how this turns out

. So far it has to be the best Redcat rig I have seen.

johndoe · 12-23-2009, 11:04 PM

thanks for the comments, and i am always open to suggestion. me and some buddys are always looking at something and saying what if and i am usually the one that says lets see.

i will get some pics of the wheels and tires tomorrow as i refuse to go out on any calls for the next two days. my work really cuts into my hobby time. but i cant gripe to much cuz i am self employed.

70duncan · 12-25-2009, 12:02 AM

It sure is nice to be working, this time of year especially. Looks like my blast wheels should be here by Tuesday. Can't wait to mount up my Plowboys

. But, they arn't as big as yours :?.

johndoe · 12-26-2009, 10:07 PM

i had a pretty good christmas and am really thinking about some bully axles i havent had any problem with these but these bullys are so purdy.
:? this one might go in the classifieds as roller.

i havent seen a hustler on bully axles or redcat axles for that matter what do you guys think

johndoe · 01-08-2010, 10:35 PM

the bully axles are on the way and this ones in the classifieds minus motors servos and elctronics. although i could prolly gather enough parts to make it a runner

70duncan · 01-11-2010, 04:54 PM

Wow. Bullys on the Hustler. That could be the first.

. It should be bomb proof with that combo. You will have to post pictures when you get it together.

johndoe · 01-13-2010, 07:38 PM

i absolutely will get pics when i get the axles here i got alot better internet connection today its amazing not to have to wait 6 minutes for this page to load. i used to be one step up from having to crank the handle to call out.

MdgtRac · 11-15-2010, 08:46 PM

CubCadet Pulling · 11-24-2010, 07:46 AM
