| 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. THE START more done. vbmenu_register("postmenu_", true); vbmenu_register("postmenu_", true); Last edited by Double J; 09-29-2006 at 10:45 AM. |

For larger bends like I did on Shush Yaz I used my leg as a center point. Quote:

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.

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