So, i figured i'd start a new Thread for my crawler after it was done seeing the last one got a little off topic. I finally got it running and mostly tuned today. So far I'm very impressed. Either tommorow or wensday i will be going to test it (eggie let me know if you wanna finally crawl together) and posting some video.

Got some quick video on my stairs today. My Tx's batteries were almost dead, that's why there's the seizure at the beginning. Will be getting some real video either tonight or tommrow at a local concrete carnage pile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guH05xTtKnk |

Got some video and pictures at the carnage pile. The pile is a lot easier then i remember, so the video might not be as exciting as i thought it would be. Stupid youtube blocked the audio, it was Static-X - Control It. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_YaiWYuAnI     |

So got to camping on Thursday and after i got everything set up i played with my crawler. Found some seriously hard stuff and decided to try it. Was turning into a rock and i started seeing that my knuckle was bending all crooked and not really turning. I pick up and start looking at it. What happened was the bolts dis-threaded and the knuckle wasn't really on the axle. I tried putting some epoxy in the thread areas to see if that would work and having such a high torque servo destroyed it. I decided I'm done with plastic, it's not strong enough for what i want to do, and seeing I'm going towards 540s and competition. I'm looking at getting some Bully axles when the money comes. Only pictures i got are poser and lame shots so i don't really want to go threw the process of posting them.

Just wonderring what some of you guys think this thing might be worth. I've done some changes since the last time i posted anything. I converted to BTA steering, narrowed the wheels, fixed the stripped knuckle, and lowered all the electronics, i also lifted the GC to 3.25". I just want to start over with something else, mabey a creeper or something. I'd be including all the old parts that have been on this thing like links, tierods, chassis',shocks, and some other stuff. I wouldn't be including battery and charger. Please let me know what you think. I've got mabey $600-$700 overall of stuff, about $520 of which is on the crawler.

I would say take a stroll through the classifieds for a bit and look at what other rigs are going for. I doubt you'll get out of it what you paid in...that's how it usually goes when you sell a used rig. Parting the rig out might be another way to get rid of it. What I suggest is thinking of a reasonable price, listing it, then accept best offer...if that doesn't work, relist it and lower the price.

That sounds pretty reasonable and if it doesn't sell very easily, you could always part it out.
