|  stage 3 of my crawler! The stock chassied wonder
hey guys, i had access to a digicam for a while so i snapped some pics of my car as it currently is. the problem with it being that after the pics were taken i changed some more things about it. ohh well. ill get the cam again soon! For stage 3 i moved all of the link mounts to the same hole and layed the shocks down alot.  surprisingly enough this gave me an awful lot more artic than before and there is no more torque twist or steer! Sweet! here is the artic pic  in stage 3 i also moved the steering link above the knuckles for more clearance and a better aproach angle. I added 1/4 pound of lead to the front axle also. this thing climbs like a monkey now.  on the rear axle i added 1/8 pound of lead to the top of the axle and made some new axle lockouts.  after taking these pictures i decided i would go out and crawl, so i took a cuple of pics of one gate while i was out there. here ya go!  ^aproaching the gate. my front right tire is in a sort of canyon just big enough to wedge it in there. i actually tore the tire driving out of this one.  ^as i begin to go through the gate.  ^in this pic i am halfway through the gate. so far i haven't touched either gate at all and i made it through without doing so. hope you enjoyed my pics. stage 4 will come along once i get my hands on one of them pesky little boxes that take these magical pictures. just as a teaser for stage 4, i made a one piece 1/4 inch aluminum servo mount, and put some different shocks on.(i couldn't stand the purple, plus the shafts were bent) thanks for reading harris (critism accepted and welcome! i always love to see what you all think of my stuff.) |

Awesome work with a stocker man. Seems like it works pretty well. sick deal. How is your chassis roll with the links so close on chassis mounting? Terry |

 my goal with this project is actually to see how well i can get the stock chassis to preform. that means that i can use any tranny, but i must have the stock chassis plates on my car. cutting them is okay though! eventually i will buy a bulu2 or a tuber or something like that, but for now this thing works fine. and the cg is relativly low.thanks harris | |
