Default Quick vid

I was messing my my crawler today and remembered camobob's thread were he posted a vid of his stick chassis crawling up stairs and said "post some vids of your 10s crawlin up stairs" or something like that so i did. It was windy today so in the middle of the vid i was messing around and tried to keep my door open. Oh, and since the last time i posted anything about my crawler i changed the stance to 2 3/4" AC clearance with my HR air shocks, got a new servo, added a little more weigt to the front and some to the rear and lowered my electronics a little bit more.

And a pic of it posing:





EDIT: Oh, and there's a board on the first step because it has a huge undercut

Nice rig. I like the steering tie rod. I'll probably be making one like that next.

Thank you and when/if you build a tie rod like mine i recommend not mounting the upper tie rod to the top of it, mount it to the back. When it's up top it has a tendincy to want to push the tie rod outward rather then to the side.

Lol, trying to stop the door with you rig. That was funny.

It cruised right up the stairs pretty easily. Nice job.

Pretty impressive rig, walks right up the stairs. I can't quite get mine to do it yet,,,, my AX10 on the other hand races up them I'll have to see if I can get some video.
