I'm sure they will recognise who you are soon. The crawler is looking good, when do you plan to have it done and crawling?

The chassis you built me is coming along good, I'll have to send you pics once it's finished. Not far away from calling you again, I have another chassis idea that I'd like to run by you.

Thanks guys!! I think I may mount the shocks to the links to get more articulation and lower it slightly. Still playing with setup so things will change. Thanks for the compliments..

Excellent work! I like all the bends and braces on the tube work.

If you are going to actually go out and crawl with it, you might find that the skinny tires don't work so well on the rocks. I tried a set and it diddn't work very well.
