|  My First SW2 build (Update - New Graphics)
This was my first attempt at building a crawler. It was a lot of fun. I still have a few things to work, but overall it performs great! Tell me what you think! Here are the specs: SW2 chassis 12.5" wheelbase Rubicon body (special thanks to my dremel) Locked TLT axles with bearings Locked Pede tranny G-Made wideners RC 4WD rims and beadlocks Moabs with star cut foams (cut in half) 65 turn Integy Novak Super Duty ESC HItec 645mg servo Spektrum DX3 Home-made links (threaded rod and brake line) Aluminum shocks with Losi white springs    Body off shots will come when I run all of the wires neatly.  Thanks to Bender for the tech support. Last edited by onlyinajeepxj; 06-13-2006 at 04:06 PM. |

Nice build. The SW2 is an awesome chasis. Those wheels are also looking very good......rc4wd, right?

Looks Great. I have always liked those Wheels. How do you like the 65T? What spur and pinion are you running?

I've never run a 55 turn, so I don't know how to compare the two. I am up for suggestions on gearing if anyone has figured out a good setup for a 65 turn. | |

I ran a 14t pinion and 84t spur with my 65t lathe, I liked it alot. I also ran a 17t pinion for a while, for a little more speed.

Nice Build. Those wheels are sweet! I just bought some myself on Friday, but they havent arrived yet. I can't wait. Of course the SW2 is the shizzle... Great Job Greg |

Nice build man. I doesn't get much better than that. Especially for your first crawler. You apparently used the search button.

I made these graphics at work today. It's pretty simple, but I like it.   Last edited by onlyinajeepxj; 06-13-2006 at 04:04 PM. |
