Default My First Crawler

Well i got a clodzilla II from a buddy. And i thought about leaving it stock but then i just wanted to crawl it. So i made a torsion type stick design.

I went from THIS:




To THIS:






How do you guys like? I am still not done. I am waiting to get my steering links, and get all the electronics setup. I just ordered some RC4WD motor mounts. I am running 540's that have been in oil for 5yrs. I am also running a 9t and 10t pinions. The wheelbase is 18.5 inches.

This whole Torsion Stick thing has peeked my interest. When I get my other projects done, I may have to build one!
