|  My first crawler
Well i thaught i might as well start a thread on it. At the moment its a roller and it has: * TCS The Stick chassie * Locked diffs with the solid aluminium gear * 12mm to 14mm wheel adapters and 3/4" wideners. * Imex K*Rock crawler Tires * Imex Buggy Romulin Rims (which i dont like but i can't afford beadlocks) * Skid plates (i know they kill the clearance but i like them) * I think the body is off a savage * Stronger steering links * I have put 2 MG995 servos in for 4WS I have a made a battery for it out off 6AA 1.2v 2700Mah battries and it is way smaller than a big 6cell stick pack heres a pic.  Aswel as the battery im trying to mod a TQ3 with the turny bit out of an old traxxas servo. they are normally used in the steering and throttle on the transmitter and they are used to stop a servo over turning. Heres some pics. Heres the bit from the servo  Heres the strange looking TQ3 but it now has 3 fully preportional channels.  I also have some of the other bits at home: * Battery * Transmitter * 2x 75t integy lathes motors * 2x motor coolers * moped ESC * Bunch of wire Now all i need is: * Pinions 9t * Motor mounts * Dust gards * Reciver The top 3 are comeing from the USA and will take a while to deliver and the reciver is from Honk Kong and will also take a while to deliver. Heres the pics of the clod     What do you think? Dan |
