This isnt a crawler at all but it should be preety cool when its done. Im going to run a 13t motor, but im not sure what won yet, and im going to have 4 wheel steer. I want it to be a close as the actual Grave Digger as possible. Brando hasnt finished building yet, but he said he will have it shipped by monday, because on friday im going to Florida for a week. And i will be geting some wideners, and dose any one know where i can find some wideners around 2". I saw some wideners on Inetrc.com and they said 3/4" per wheel so i guess that would be 1 1/2.

James Luce · 02-12-2006, 01:20 PM

The pics wont work, so ill get some on here later this week

CoreyK · 02-12-2006, 01:37 PM

www.thecrawlerstore.com sells wideners....Not sure how many " they widen it but they sell them.

James Luce · 02-13-2006, 06:12 AM

I was actualy thinking of getting some mad gorce or txt axles, but i already have some tlt axle

BrandO · 02-13-2006, 02:40 PM

Hey Kid, this thread is useless without pics!

Here I will help out with a few pics.

BrandO · 02-13-2006, 02:45 PM

James plans on bigger tires possibly bigger axles. The G-hawgs are just to make it roll. looks a little funny with the small bologna skins

CrawlnSlow · 02-13-2006, 04:45 PM

you never fail to pump out beautiful work bud. I don't know how you do all this so fast. I'm partial to the tires haha.

Thanks, You like those tires huh. I think all the trucks I build get mocked up on those suckers. Still have not run them on anything yet.

Unimoger · 02-13-2006, 05:09 PM

nice work as always Brando, needs some 2.2 all'ts or some maxx sized tires.

CrawlnSlow · 02-13-2006, 05:10 PM

Definately have to put them on something fast. Those things dig like no other. I have a set on my mudder and they rip.

BrandO · 02-13-2006, 05:22 PM

He had wanted to stick with the TLT axles. He already had a pair to use. We figured the All-T's would be tough on the small axles. But he has a set that he ordered. I think TXT axles with some stock TXT tires would look cool. They be a little big since this is the 1/10 body. But big tires on a monster is cool.

rocpede · 02-13-2006, 05:32 PM

hey brando u do some really awsome work and i can't wait to see what u will make next and any if your name is on a thread there is some awsome inside, keep up the awsome work too.

Crawlerguy851 · 02-13-2006, 05:46 PM

Nice work Brand0. Always. I would suggest rear cantilevers, that would be cool, and a use for the stock TLT cants?

James Luce · 02-13-2006, 05:50 PM

Brando remember the whole thing about cancel ing the order with the all-t's. well they shipped the tires already (I might have told you already) and i ended up keeping them otherwise i would have to return the free swampers they sent me also. I still might get the duratrax 5 1/4" tires, because they are more scale. the reason i decided to try bigger axles, is because i already snaped the iner axles or my bronco, with stampede tires on it. I am going to have to replace the entire axles besides the plastic housing.

CrawlnSlow · 02-13-2006, 06:51 PM

A monster is a monster and thats that. Huge tires look awesome. I say txt's with the stock treads. Nothing like a "scale-esque" grave digger smashing through the dirt and jumping over things. The thought gives me special feelings like when I used to climb the rope in gym class.

Plays_with_Toys · 02-13-2006, 09:35 PM

What about some IMEX puller's? Obviously in clod scale, since they wouldn't look large enough in 2.2

Definately need a 5"+ tire to make it look scale.

OORRACING · 02-14-2006, 05:24 PM

it looks like the chassis would bottom out before the shocks do,

but that can be cured by larger tires. its a nice build as always.!!! ,

James Luce · 02-14-2006, 07:59 PM

If bottoming out was a problem i could change the links

HotRodCJ · 02-14-2006, 08:42 PM

i ran all tees on my tlt, never had a problem with them. bat on it pretty good too. mabey i just had good luck.
