BA-LING!!!!!:roll:


No adjustability, links made for catching rocks, lots of wasted bling.............looks like crap to me!!!!:cry:

JUSTGOINGSLOW 02-11-2008 08:44 PM

That thing is horriable! how ever designed it, did not have rock crawling in mind. To many things to get hung up on. :-( Including the links.

johnnybrcman7 02-11-2008 08:54 PM

that is what i thought that it was going to get hung up on things to but it dose not get hung up any ware on the chassis its the axles that get hung up not the chassis

Robb 02-11-2008 08:58 PM

it dose not get hung up any ware so you baght tis peace of crap is it grate shood we a'll bye 1 thanx 4 lettin us no ninetie degreese fleks is supper cool


edit: After careful examination of the word "intage," I realized that you meant "integy." Come on, spend two seconds to spell out your title correctly!! Then I spent thirty seconds searching to realize that this chassis costs $200! :wow: $200 for that POS??? Worst part is, on that crappy chassis, you mounted everything at the highest point, with no regard that the lower rack would be the most beneficial in regards to lowering the COG of the rig.

Not to fond of the chassis, could make a decent basher though. Anyways, if you are stuck on running this chassis, extend the rear upper links, the motor is aiming down hurting clearance. I would also consider making new links the more conventional (better) way.

johnnybrcman7 02-12-2008 07:46 AM

so how come no one likes this chassis cause when i go crawling with it i never have the problem geting hung up on the chassis

JUSTGOINGSLOW 02-12-2008 07:51 AM

With a little fine tuning I think it would be alright. But your links, I would go with standard bottom links and that skid plate, you have to be getting hung up, it stick out to far on the sides. :roll:

johnnybrcman7 02-12-2008 08:08 AM

i plan on redoing all the links with bent ones and as the battery tray i never get hung up on it.
its all ways the axles right by the motors

JUSTGOINGSLOW 02-12-2008 08:12 AM

You got clod axles on there ah. Just changing your bottom links will help alot. Dude it's all about what you like, If it works for you go with it. "thumbsup"

johnnybrcman7 02-12-2008 08:21 AM

ya i have clod axles but with the links that are on it now that truck is 19 inc long form center of front wheel to center of back wheel so should i keep it that long or shorten it up

JUSTGOINGSLOW 02-12-2008 08:28 AM

Most clod or super's are from 17" to 19" it's personal perferance.Both of my buddies have clod converted supers, one with a hustler chassis and one with a NN chassis and there both at 17" They'll crawl over your house if they could. ;-)

Spydermonkyman 02-12-2008 04:04 PM

I would also suggest that you mount as much of your electronics and battery as low as you can you are very top heavy at the moment.

johnnybrcman7 02-12-2008 07:23 PM

will i just got the chassis a bought 2 weeks ago and all i did was put it together so i could try it out so some time this week i am going to do new links and move every thing around

Go to your local clubs next comp and enter it. You'll see.

Theres a HUGE difference between bashing in the backyard for fun and running the cones. If the chassis you have works for you,fine. Have fun with it. Once you run a few comps,you can quickly see what things will hang up.

johnnybrcman7 02-12-2008 07:43 PM

so what is differnt betwen a comp and going crawling around the other rocks

Crawlerguy851 02-12-2008 07:48 PM

Mainly other rigs, and scores to compare it to. It isn't very well designed. You might think that it doesn't get hung up on the obstacles, but we aren't sure what sort of course you are running on. It could be a simple course that an average 2.2 could walk over or it could be a complex one and you could be a master driver. We don't know, but the setup isn't ideal in our opinions right now. Post a pic of where you crawl and we can give you advice on how to set it up or to sell it on clodtalk and buy an NN.
