| Hey, welcome to the site! To post pics, resize them to 800x600 at the most, save them, then upload them to imageshack. Then copy the direct link to the picture (last one on the list, I think), put it into the image tags, and hit post. Link to Imageshack It should look like this when you post the picture: [IMG]url of picture here[/IMG] Destroyer Last edited by Destroyer; 08-17-2005 at 08:45 PM. |

| This crawler is brought to you by the letter "T" and the number 1.   j/k looks like a good start although I'd move the lower links to the top of the "C" hub and bring the motor down on the front axle. Good start though. |

Simple (lightweight) is the way to go. It's clod, doesn't matter how fancy the chassis is. Simple or Trick looking, they all perform like crap!  (coming from a guy that was just out in his shop working on a clod project) ;) | |

| i know there is a formula for finding the proper distance between links but i dont know it. mine are about 3/8 apart vertically and it works well |

| TheEvilKanoofy, the best way to get the right hole positions is to make it modular. try putting several mounting holes, that way you can play with your settings and get the proper angles etc.. you already have the old T chassis, you can play with that one and use knowledge gained on the new one your building. |

| ya that sounds like a good idea!! I was thinking of using the front suspention rocker arms from a revo anyone tried this or is it better to just use shocks going to the lower links?? Also I have not yet got a servo for the rear streering just wondering if I should?? |
