That's a good looking rig. I'm not normally a fan of limiting straps, but yours are tastefully executed. Interesting motor mount option too. Looks like you've already anticipated possibly hitting the end bell on stuff. You STACKED 2 GRU's? Wow, that's got to be low torque. Nice job!! Some interesting thinking going on in Death Metal Garage! Last edited by Big Mike; 04-05-2007 at 11:56 AM. |

Great looking chassis So what performance advantage is there by running your motor on the front axle? Less tourque twist? (thats a SWAG)

bunyip - do you own the Subie in your avatar?? I just got sniped on one of those Brat bodies a month back - NIB and unpainted even. I was pissed, it would have made a great crawler body... |

How has this build been doing? Gotten a chance to smash it up a lot? Did you bring a few tubers to some of last seasons comps? The style looks very familiar, I like it.

I would like to know how many rolls down the Capen hill that shift servo would handle. Cool idea though! I didnt notice it from the overall pic.
