Any input is appreciated.

Thanks!

looks good."thumbsup" How does it crawl?

Dunno...right now it does nothing but sit there. Maybe I need to install the electronics. :lol:

Looks really good.... Hurry up and get some Electronics...:)

Most of the electronics are sitting on my workbench. Just waiting on the castlelink and some free time (stressful job and studying for a big exam). I cant wait to get this thing running. It feels like a looooong time since I bought the parts for the axles from you.

Nice wheels.....lol Looks sweet."thumbsup"

HaHa! Thanks Mayhem!

looks like it should be very capable little crawler.have you ran molands yet they look very mean thats 4 shoor"thumbsup"

Nope. I've never run Molands. I hope they do well in our terrain down here...

Hey Jeremy, I got the link you can borrow, Oh ya we bothed moved ........oh well........lmao "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

HaHa....well, sometimes you gotta move away from the rocks for other reasons. I more than doubled my salary to move to Houston. I'll pick that over good crawling spots anyday!

Ya I got a healthy raise myself. So far it looks like the nearest comp is in Columbia tenn. about 3 hours away. not bad thow."thumbsup"

I've been in the garage with scissors and CA glue:

Man, these things take a while to make!

Very nice looking rig, I am starting a 2.2 clod myself next week over spring break. Your telling me about taking a while to build. When I built my super I was totally new to crawling (not R/C) and it took a solid 3-4 months to get it actually comp worthy..... granted thats building paycheck to paycheck.... Good luck running that thing, it looks like it will do fine...

Thanks man. Here's hoping that it pays off and this thing performs well!

tires look good, how tall?




your gonna wanna go ahead and cut off that bolt/mount on the gear case at the rearmost part after the motor, at least on your rear axle.
i used to hang up on that little thing all the time when i first built mine.
it hangs on rocks when you start climbing up something steep.

i dont think its really needed anyways since you have the 2 bolts going through that part to hold the motor on

Tires should be around 5.75in Tall.

x2 on cutting that rear bolt on the case. It's a Must."thumbsup"

Yeah....the cases will get shaved soon!

I got a bit of work done this weekend.

Finished up all of the tires:

Also shaved the front and rear axles and started making a rear lockout bracket:

I simplified the rear lockout bracket:
