Default 1/8 scale Custom Crawler

Ok guy's i have been thinking about doing this for a long time ........

This was my old Nitro Truggy that was turned into Brushless and now it's going to be transformed into a Big Crawler, im not sure on the wheel base yet and im not sure where im going to go with this so it will just evolve along the way.....

I will need a transmission and some drive shafts that will fit the 8mm outputs on the diff...... I'll make the skid and links out of Delrin.....

This is what i have to start with

This is what's left to work with, i need to lock up both diffs....


Locked up the front arms on a slight angle to give the center diff some ground clearance, also swapped over the steering blocks so the steering links will be out in front, i might try BTA later.....
