i will upload some crawling picks tomorrow

nice i hope mine turns out like that when im done..... what kinda shocks and frame is that??? also what tires are those???

ryan

u should switcht the front and rear pinions. you want to have the 9t in the back and 10t in the front. the way you have it will result in mondo-amounts of axle stall.

Cool....is the draglink bent to clear the gearbox?
Jay

Jay,
on my V2 set up, the drag link was bent to clear the gear box and it worked and cleared it perfectly.....although, now all of my links are bent

But after relooking at the picture, mine was not bent that much at all.
Guess he's trying to keep the angles down?

the chassis is a v3 proto type chassis. the shocks are momoth shocks . all you have to do is read the wright up :mrgreen:

ya i bent them too much.. i am gonna make new ones soon.

It looks alot like the Rockraider chassis.

here are some pictures from when i went crawling in a dryed up river bed. it was realy fun driving in there

ya it kinda does

i love it though . its tough and light

Yeah... rockraper drove awsome in the comp Saturday with the new vPrime (v3) Chassis. His scores were easily 3 times as good compaired to what he is used to scoring at our comps.

His vPrime is actually the last prototype and first production model of our new chassis. Rockraper has had if for a while now, I asked him not to post any pic of the chassis because there may have been some tweeks to the final design, but there were none. The chassis preforms great as it is. Thanks for keeping it under wraps rockraper until we were ready to show it off.

BTW... most of the people at our competiton Saturday had no idea I was also running the vPrime 2.2 chassis. It is a runner, I'm very happy with it. I guess I'll have to post some pics soon.

thanks for the complements guys, and thanks matt for the amazing chassis . i love it .. cant wait for the next comp

is this true? i always though that you wanted a biger/ higher pinion in the rear so you can have your wheels spin more. because when you are going up things your weight is on the rear axle, and your front would spin more than your rear. unless if you put the biger pinion in the rear then you get more tire spin.

it also makes sence to have the rear more torquer than the front. can any one let me know if i need to swich the pinions around?

where did you get the fod body? :)

when i bought my stock clod of of ebay it came with the ford body.. i realy like it

wana get rid of it? :mrgreen:

i might just wanna .. im looking at this body ~~~~~~~

I think that is a Parma body... WVH may have one in stock?

there is always this one...

Try running the small pinion in the rear. Since the weight transfers to the rear, the front end will spin easier than the rear so you want to make the rear end have more torque.
That is my theory, if you find it werks better with the small pinion in the front then go with it I guess. :)
