I notice it says on your motor 22t. Is your truck very fast. I would of thought a 55t or a 65t motor would have been more suitable for a crawler.

I also think that it looks very heavy at the end where the batteries go. Have you thought about a different kind of battery pack and a different position to move the weight .

I like the body. Can I have it ?

You are right, it´s pretty fast. I have to change the pinions.

If you change the motors you would also get more torque which would be better for the climbing.

55t = good torque and wheel speed.
65t = more torque but slower wheel speed.

Not bad for a first build, you've done some nice fab work there. Like Tronk said you need some slower motors (55t or 65t), and don't use behind the axle steering on the REAR axle, just use it on the front to keep the steering links out of the way.

Thanks for your opinions.

Yes, batterie, ESC and RX are in the front. Or do you mean, to put the batterie in front of the axle?

I´m thinking about batteries on the knuckels, but I´m using these for my Twin Force, so I have to buy some others.
