Default Almost Finished !!!

Here are a some pics of my rig. I am almost done putting it together. Let me know what you think. (I know the wheel base is a bit long and it will change)

Thats pretty fuggin harsh guys

I think it needs shorter, STRAIGHT links. Those will bend like spagetti on the rocks. Tires look to be too narrow to work well, but who knows.

The tube work looks really good.

Ok...I feel like being nice today so here is my real thoughts.

Get rid of the tube chassis.
Get rid of the tires and wheels.
Get rid of those links.
Make the wheel base shorter.

Basically......keep the clod axles and start over.

Say what you want. I can say it is my first crawler I have built ....

Never hurts to try something once. If it does not work then learn from it and make it better. Thanks for the kind words so far
