thank you

i'll post a pic of it in a bit of how it looks compared to the pic wit the axle sitting there on it. i have the axles together and under it it roles and i have the steering servo on it to im just trying to get it together and get an idea of how it works because i have never had clod axles or used a stick chassis or any of this stuff before but i did figure out how the axles go together the night i got it all but i need a bearing or something for a gear other wise it moves around in the axle.

my goal is to have it running or close to it by the start of the new year

and already i might have a spare axle for it all i got to do is help my friend get his going again and he said i could have it but i dont know if its a front or a rear i'll find out tomorrow at school

lol no my dad has a friend who has a hole bunch of rc stuff and he gave me tons of stuff cause he asked my dad to help him make a cage for his 1:1 my dad has a bender and stuff so him and my dad made a deal that my dad would help and his friend said i'll give your son some stuff so my dad said ok.

and sorry one of the radios is broke so i have to swap some stuff over because the one with all the mods done to it for my rear steer and some other stuff is the one that is broke and what ever is left im just going to keep as spare stuff just in case.

Get rid of all of those tires exept for the giant tracks. You can sell the others for money to get other parts.

thanks

and i love it but i cant wait to get it done and start crawling around but it shouldn't take to much longer only a few weeks if i get the parts that are missing. which are metal peaces that go on the axle and stuff but other then that i should have the rest of the peaces.

Well I got all the stuff and quite working on it after awhile and went to messing with my losi but i decided to get my crawler running so a few days ago i put my wiring on and played with it a little bit.but my motors are wired backwards so i need to rewire those because i hit forwards and it goes backwards.

i also need to lock my front end this weekend because it doesn't climb stuff unless i go up it straight or the object is slanted.

but here are some pics of it

and sorry for the last pic i used my cell phone

I wish i could drive it on my course in my back yard but it's muddy and my dad doesn't want the mud in the house and i don't want to clean the tires after each run i like letting it dry then let it fall off

but i got my hole drilled for the axle so now i don't have zip ties holding it down now i need to wire the motors but i think i will leave them for a bit
