Default RC4WD Killer Stealth Krawler, My custom project...

I thought i would post int he clod section since the Killer krawler is based on the clod axles, if not can the mods just move it to the appropriate section please.

1st of all i took off all that anosizing and powder coated it marine blue then i de:powdercoated the wheels beadlocks and powdered them also, i left the blue ano on the ball joints.

I then put my G MADE Stealth chassis on this beast raised t up to shorted the wheel base and give some more clearance.

See what you dudes and dudettes think...














Thanks for looking peeps

How heavy is your crawler? It must have some weight to fold down those rock crsuhers.

As far as the sideways movement. You should look into triangulating your suspensions links. It appears you have all links going from inboard on the frame to outboard on the axles... Try something similar...

Hi i havent weighed it but i would guess about 8 or 9KG?

The top links i have triangulated as much as possible as for the lower links, there is no where for me to remount them to triangulate, IE i cannot put them on the inside of the chassis as the ball joint is fixed in one way.

Any other ways of stopping it?

Thanks in advacne

Craig
