|  Y-town crawler superjuice
THANKS TO KRAWLFREAK FOR MAKING AN AWESOME CHASSIS!!!!!!!! I have been missing my super since i got rid of it back in april. i forgot how fun supers are until Rouge let me drive his at rocas rojas(thanks Rouge ,jason,badger,patrick ,ty, and everyone else that made that event awesome.) and i was hooked again..............so............................. .... I called Jeremy about a month ago and asked him if i could pattern a super after his beetlejuice design. He said he had something in the works and to just relax. well after a few phone calls and a little patience, krawlfreak sent me a shinny new SUPERJUICE chassis to go with my BEETLEJUICE. Krawlfreak sent me 2 sideplates and a skid and i went to work. I made the braces out of 1/4 delrin tube to make the chassis just over 3" wide from front to back and the sides taper to 2 1/4 at the skid. Add built clod axles(THANKS TATTOOKENNY) and the receipe get better and better. tires and wheels will be vanquish 4o's with moabs or blasts with plowboys.well heres a list of the parts assembled or on order. YTOWN crawlers SUPERJUICE chassis Vanquish 40's clod axles integy aluminum tubes and knuckles metal gears in front delrin rear stock gear cases w ball bearings hot racing 17mm hub adapters 9805bb servo's 45t integys with quasar brushes and super cool springs moab xl's on axial wheels(THANKS NOVAS ARK)backups blasts with plowboys are probably where ill end up. mambamax radio.....???? well on to some pics of parts and mock up. more pics will follow in a few days (once usps and ups get everything else to my door.)  i love how clean the lines are on this thing.  just a little shot to show the taper.  a little 3/4 view of the chassis.  i used 1/2"delrin and tlt mounts to build the lower link(not new but i thought i would share)  my built clds with mocked up steering(i still dont know what direction to go with that) and the lowers and uppers i built with revo rod ends.(3/8" tops and 1/2"lowers)and good old big bores   lowers and shocks mounted up at mock up.  stay tuned for more and thanks for looking . feel free to build a super you wont regret it. supers for life!!!

Looks good, John Hoping to see you at a few comps this year...I've been away too long. Glad I kept most of my clod axle stuff. Supers were the most fun and what got me excited about crawling...everything else pales in comparision |
