The Crawler P.o.d.
 

AKA - Revoster's build.

This is a design I came up with a while back and couldn't get anyone to bit on it. NOW finally Revoster decided to go with the design and he's been waiting for me to get pics up.

It's not going to be exactly like the concept but really close because as you build you find things that can or doesn't need to be there.

Any way, The specs I have.
TLT Axles
Tube frame 3/16"
Stealh type tranny
Maxx shocks
12.5" WB

Revoster can add the rest or change what I didn't get right.

The concept drawing.

Looks cool, whould fit perfect with the bug body I'm waiting for my TLT:lol:

Double J chassis need to be shown!...not covered up with a body:flipoff: :flipoff:

what are you using to make those big smooth bends with?

My hand and eye cordination. Really. I just kind of eye ball it and make a bunch of little bends till it's where it's supposed to be. Takes a while but turns out nice. and the 3/16" bends easily.
For larger bends like I did on Shush Yaz I used my leg as a center point.


Thanks. I'm just about done with yours I have to finish the tranny mount. I need to post the pics I have.

isnt that 1/4" brakeline tubeing. im useing 1/4'' on the bronco. I looked at the 3/16" and it was tiny

It's 3/16. It's only like a 1/16 of an inch difference but yeah they look ultra small side by side.

I also did the General (aka dilatory crawler) in 3/16" tube.

Looks neat, kinda reminds me of someones dome with a receding hair line. I'm really excited about this one, its much more different than I expected when I first saw the drawings a few months ago.

I told you it'd be cool 8)

Looks awsome. I'll also run a moped and a 20t moter.(lathe soon to come.) Right know I'm sticking with the tlt shocks because I'm broke.

Looks like we'll have to try and find some shocks then..
I'll see if I have any maxx that aren't being used.

Anything new?

No I've been sick and ran out of silv on Saturday. I will get somemore today since I'm feeling better and was able to go to work today. :( :)

I do plan on making a delrin skid for it though instead of metal.

Anything new?

Sorry I'll update the thread soon. I have made some progress.

Damn DoubleJ....you're wrecking peoples income....Bet if you drop the price a little he'll give you his shocks and buy some maxx shocks!:flipoff: :lol:

It looks awesome....when are you going to do a thread of all of the different tubers you've built???;-) Really like one I saw...but can't remember the thread....

Sweet, it looks like when u roll:flipoff: , itl just roll back over:)

More pics on progress tomorrow.

Looks good man, but you should try to include more triangles in your frame for extra strength, lets see some more pics!

one word SWEET!!!!!!!
