I agree, keep the CG as low as you can. Other than that looks good, wish I had the patience to build a tuber.

I'd consider welding some washers to the chassis if you want to go with some panels. Other then that yeah looks good.

Yeah, looks good so far! I collect HW's too. I've got about 800 or so in the blisters and about 250 out of the package that are all vintage (redlines to the early 80's)

Thumbs up Hotwheel for trade

Hey thanks for the good comments, all you that collect hotwheel i'm open for trades i have about 2000 and getting rid of i would say 1000 to 1500 i'm down sizing. I would trade for rc stuff or other hw's i collect. My wheel base on the crawler is 14 1/2 and i used 1/4 brake tube.
