Don, we've all seen WRMorrison's truck a hundred times man! Lay off. Wow.

syco133 08-08-2005 10:34 PM

Actually I cant put my batteries there my shocks are in the way.I will think about it and figure way's to make the truck better first thing is longer wheelbase its under 16 right now. :mrgreen:

mesaAZclod 08-08-2005 10:59 PM

um how are the tires inflatable?

syco133 08-08-2005 11:05 PM

Firefighter took some of the cheap dollar store balls and took the little black peices where you air them up out and glued to the wheels then sealed the wheels up really good so you can actually pump the tires up to almost kong size with a hand pump. :mrgreen:

Glad to see you got a real truck now :flipoff:

I played around with the stick today, it's a pretty cool truck.

JamisonWorkshop 08-09-2005 11:47 AM

Whats the deal with the motor on that thing. Never noticed that. Coming out the back of the tranny. ???

Or is that the mammoth reduction?

syco133 08-09-2005 11:54 AM

It has the mammoth reduction in it with a standard rotation mag mayhem I am thinking of puttin a gd 600 in it I just love the whine. :twisted:

Welcome to the dark side. Another victory for the shafties!

I think it is way more fun than the clod.

There mite be some noobs that have not seen it yet. And I'm not taking credit for building it. It is what I'm running. I also got WRMorrisons permission to make the parts for this set up and sell them.

Don I hate to tell you but I'm far from a noobie I have forgot more about crawlers and for shure rc stuff than most of the newb's on the board combined will ever know. :flipoff: I do want to redo the battery setup but not shure what I will do just yet I'm just having fun beating on this truck it realy is more fun to me than the stick.This may sound stupid to some but I hope will understand what I am fixing to say.I did love the stick clod BUT It isnt meant for bashing the hell out of and It would climb almost anything so I was running out of stuff to try and climb around here it just wasnt a challange to me or the stick any more so I wanted something diffrent and I got it and love the new txt it is buy far my favorite rc I have ever had hand's down.My fate was sealed when I watched kenny just beat on his truck trying to climb a rock face and had to work for it that is fun to me now the same rock face the stick went right up BORING I would rather work at an obstacle for 2 or 3 minutes than to cruise right over it I mean this is a fun hobby and I want all the fun I can get.

Glad you finally saw the light and got a real crawler. Now you will need to be the first TXT up Heavy's Hill.

CSR 08-09-2005 08:53 PM

I still can't believe Mike traded with you after seeing how bad the clods got STOMPED at Buck's Pocket! :shock::D

Firefighter already has another Shafty in the works.... I shipped some TXT parts his way today. ;)

JasonInAugusta 08-09-2005 09:12 PM

Just wait....Green River is coming.

You'll be wanting your clod again. :lol:

BTW, that rig in the background of the first pic...is that a 1/3 scale rig? :lol: ;)

syco133 08-09-2005 09:19 PM

Damn your good yes it is it was made in the late 80's buy I belive suzuki but wouldnt you know it it's a darn gas burner..All I need to make it a capeable crawler is convert it over to electric with like 50 lathe motors and 50 gd600's and some revo shafts and I'm set.I just might be able to make heavy's hill with it then. :flipoff:

Revo shafts would definitely need to be on the list of upgrades! I twisted the splines off of four of the little stock Suzuki shafts. ;)

Cool thing about them though.... it is possible to actually sit inside them and control them from the drivers seat like a real 4x4!

That is exactly why I have two running clods (a V2 and a stick) but still drive and compete with my Jugg/TXT
