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 |

Here are some pics of what i got done to it the day after i got it. i got it in peaces now its more a roller. tell me what you all think and yes there are zip ties on it only because i need to drill out a hole on each axle to mount the end peaces of the stick chassis |

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

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 Last edited by Rc_Kid; 01-26-2008 at 12:00 AM. |

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 |
