It looks really rear heavy. Or is it just me? It does look pretty damn stable though!

That siren scared the shiet outta me. Looks fun. And I'm not even through the whole vid yet. I want one. Is 5 1/2 pounds normal for a crawler?

Great vid, thanks, now all i have to do is wait for mine to show up, those tires looked like they have great grip, were you running any weights on them, full foam? also were you running the stock motor?

The rear coils have a softer spring rate.

Thanks guys. This truck box stock worked very well for a wheelbase just over 11 inches. The tires are a great soft compound with stock foams and are very grabbing. No weight has been added anywhere and using a old Rooster esc/2 cell 1850 lipo/55 turn motor. I would have though this truck was going to need alot of work before it would crawl but I was very wrong.....as the video shows it is very capable even with both torsion bars still installed.

So would it perform better than an ax10 stock straight out of the box?

Its like comparing apples and peanuts. The truck works great right out of the box though. but its only has a 11 inch wheelbase compared to the AX-10's 12.5.

Nice video. The rig seems to work really well for being completely stock.
