|  Pimpin' IS easy (build up)
Hey guys, I have been lurking on the site for about 6 months now soaking up information. I finally got some extra money so I have started building me a crawler. I have been big into the 1:1 scene for a few years now and just need something to mess around with when not wheelin  Heres some specs: 17" WB Pimp Cane  Moab XL's with narrowed/star foams Velocity 6 wheels dyed black Clod axles RC4WD wheel adapters RC4WD all steel steerng frnt/rear HS-645MG front servo HS-5645MG rear Teken Rebel 2 TRX 2215 receiver Modded TQ3 55T lathes 9t pinion front 8t pinion rear I have everything except the wheels and motors (waiting on Ebay vendor), and the pimp cane chasis. Heres some pictures. Axles:  About what it will look like:   TQ3  Heres my 1:1 if anyone cares...  Last edited by 85mudblazin; 11-02-2006 at 09:05 PM. |

Iroks are sick. The 39.5 measures all of 40. Nice build

Lookin good. As far as 1:1 tires, go for the 39" Krawlers, much better than the iroks....if you have the $$ that is. I've heard pro's and con's about the iroks. |

I love my 42's. They grip like crazy. Only thing is they wear super fast on the sharp granit. Crawlers are good if you can afford the reds. But I have been looking at the 40" Maxxis Creepys lately |

Welcome to the Pimp Club. I've been hit with both the Cane and the Slap - Loving them both. Keep us updated!

isnt gearing differently going to put a lot of force on the gears since there is a 5 revolution difference of the tires from 9 tooth to 8 tooth?

It really isnt an issue I did it for over a year and never had any issues at all other than allmost no clod stall.

8 tooth pinion in rear and 9 tooth in front works great i think . you will still get some stall . also will help you turn tighter as the rear will slide a little . i change to thay setup before the T.S.C. comp at FOTO and at the end of the day I was driving the winning RIG . |

the best way to git rid of clod stall is to run a shafty!!!!!!!! NOW if i could only build a shafty that works!!!!!!

I bought some crappy CA glue that didnt work worth a **** so I cant get my wheels and tires on. I drove it a little with some stock T-maxx tires/rims but am having a electronic problem (see electronics forum). | |
