I have to say that the "Special Ed" Prototype (if thats what it was) I seen also worked out pretty darn good and it has one killer feature over the Dorkstar Prototype. after watching them I think Ryans front suspension setup was better......

I havent run a full LIPO pack through it yet, but run time seems to be at least 15 minutes. There's lots of room between the wheels, a much larger LIPO would fit. I've been workig on the new chassis plates today, and once they pass my quality and assembly inspection, I'm going to have a few aluminum ones made....

Thanks people!

Wow. that is one heckuva piece of equipment. Its starting to look like a clod with the amount of under body clearance. That's awesome! Any problems with the carrier moving when the driveline gets bound up? What does the rear of the rear axle look like? I imagine you have two small links locking out steering to help with clearance, correct?

Yup, two little links to lock out the rear steer. I've also thought about using the carrier as a moving rear driveline disconnect. It seems that these 2 features would be fairly easy to combine into one unit...

Thanks,
rYan

Oh man, there's one of my ideas for a maxx crawler in action. Looks like I'll have to go forward with that idea now.

Will the production model be so hacked up? I hope not.
