Default Update 9/2/07

Thanks for the compliments Ray. We had fun yesterday. I keep breaking pede shafts of the yokes. Not sure what thats all about, I don't have huge driveline angles or anything.

Got some more pics and progress tonight. I was running 8 cells. Now I have it setup for seven cells. It just works out cleaner with seven. Onto the pics.













I've got some panels cut and ready to paint. I'll get to those this week as well as more testing and pictures. Let me know what you think!

Thats probably got allot to do with it

Can you put Revo's in there? Probably not,they are pretty tough to get in a 2.2 size rig. The Maxx 2.5's are holding up decent for me,but I have broken a few. I tried a Jato shaft up front Sunday and seems pretty good so far. It did come apart at the upper joint of the shaft once but it didn't break,just snapped it back together and all was good. The Maxx shafts I've been running,it's sheared the yoke plumb off a few times. Might try a Jato shaft. This Crawlmaster is a bit more powerfull than the Hyperion your running but not much. You may have better luck with the 2.5's or Jatos.

I will probably try the Maxx shafts and see if those hold up. I have downsized to 7 cells for now because they fit better on the axles. Thanks for the input Raptor

I've been busy this week.

I did some testing the other night and it worked great. Besides the all t's everything is coming together nicely. I still have to work out the dig setup and paint some panels.
Also looking into reconfiguring the pede trans.


The weekend is upon us so....look for updates in the next couple of days!
