Default First super cpe claw

This is my first super build and ended up with the cpe claw since it came up as a good deal in trade . It is the claw chassis and links with clod axles that have thunder tech lockers, cpe adjustable motor mounts, 65 turn intergy motors, 7 tooth pinion front and rear (soon to change to a 9 tooth front), bearings and new stock gears, 1/4 scale servos mounted flat, intergy 12mm to 23mm adapters and extensions with rcd 40 series narrow mudslingers with narrow proline beadlock wheels. It has a moped esc for both motors right now and a y reverser harness for 4 wheel steering. (upgrading to 6 channel controller for duel esc/motor control 4 wheel independent steering and dig mode thru switch. Soon to come) My biggest draw back right now is tires so moab xls in my near future for the other proline 40 series beadlocks I already have. The mudslingers look cool but don't preform well but will keep for large scale project. Well let me know what you think.

Default I commented on your thread

I'm the one that commented on your thread about the mod to redce flex. Mine goes under like normal but it has velcro on top for the electronics and the black below is a 6 cell pack that is wrapped in electrical tape.I will keep an eye on your thread for sure for up coming mods.

Default servos

If I were to do it again IO would use wider material for the top strap like 1" or 3/4" to hold it allittle better since there is alot of pressure there mine wiggle allittle. But I'm still very happy with them.

Default cool

It's all good I'm broke too this economy sucks. I did 150,000 last year and 1/3 this year. Cool on the chassis and you'll have to post the whole build start to finish.
