|  My First Real Crawler pics inside!
Hey all just joined this fab website and look forward to building some great rigs. I've been lurking around for some time and now have a real crawler. My 6 Nylints don't really count. Let me know what you think. It runs forever on the 4600 stick pack  Last edited by canucksrc; 09-29-2006 at 03:23 PM. |

I'm assuming fab is short for fabrication because nobody uses that word any more to describe anything else.  Looks pretty good, but you might want to redesign the chassis. Right now it's set up to be a belly dragger. |

The Body is from the old MT Savages. They fit nice and come painted. I was testing the truck last night and the thing drags the belly real bad. I will be fabing something today and let you know how it turns out. P |

Well, I just cut about an inch of the battery tray and now the thing does binding all over the place. I might have to buy one of those ready made chassis. They did all the testing and I have no time. The wheel base was about 14 inches before the tummy tuck. Back to the drawing board, P |
