Default VM Chevy Crawler....... VIDEO ADDED!!!!

8 1/2" WB, narrowed TLT-1 wheels/tires, axle mounted servo(behind the axle steering links), 10 tooth pinion, Fireball motor, 8 cell 50/50 pack(half on the front axle-half in stock battery compartment), locked diffs F&R, zipper clutch removed, New Bright Chevy S10 body. This thing is workin killer "Hairball Nitro style crawlin" , but I think it could use some gear reduction.

Here it is posing on a Clod tire


Stock wheelbase comparison

Here I am running some tests at Top Secret Business park #2 last week

Heres 1 of the locals I meet at the park today, he liked the Venom part



HERES THE VIDEO!!! http://www.rcpics.net/view_single.php?medid=47609

Default Stretch

I made a 4 link setup out of 4-40 allthread, associated ballends & balls. For the driveshafts I cut the stockers in half then JB welded them into each end of some aluminium tubing that was just slightlly bigger. The stock red rods and balls have a pretty good action you can extend them to help make some of the links you will need. http://www.thefilebin.com/userfiles/...ure%206125.jpg
