|  Is this too long?
its at 20 inches from axle to axle ...not tires ... I dont care about comp standards but if it makes a difference on performance I will cut it down...   Tires will be XL Mashers or Moab ,Atlas 80t's etc. Last edited by TheHeadHunter; 02-15-2008 at 06:43 AM. |

That's what I did with some of my first mod... To much care for details that where absolutly irrelevant once on the field... Might be better to do-try-change, unlike for planes or choppers, there is not too much risks if something is not quite right at the first try... Also, before the big day. Check that ALL the screws are tightened. For my CC01, at home I was still debating on wether or not upgrading the suspension links, result: I went on the field with half screwed rear axle and lost a rear 3x30 screw after 5 minutes... | |

All you can is try. the only problems i see is you will have a huge turning radius, even with dual steer. Also could have a high center problem uless there is alot of droop. But that is the fun with crawlers, you are not stuck with what comes out of the box. post some finished pics when you are done  |

I knew its possible ...By the way may I ask you Kamikaze which motors U use in that rig? I'm guessing 65t's ? the biggest challenge might not be the rig itself but finding rocks that are a worthy in size...  | |

You have done a clear job, seems to look great. I use 60 turn Atlas motors, they are slow enough but give also enough wheel spin. I think 80 turn is to slow.  The Gravedigger body is 1:8 scale i have sold it for a good price. Witch body are you planning to use, i have now a Chevy C-10 '72. Last edited by SXV 550; 02-16-2008 at 02:52 PM. | |
