Stubs the TXT

[badger]

I have been building another TXT for about a week now and I am just about complete. I need to work on the links tonight.

Since my friend did so good with my TXT in the Seascape Comp. I thought I would build him an even better TXT to take 1st! I was trying to think "outside of the box" on this one.

I call it "Stubs" and no that is not my nickname passed down a generation.

I will take some pictures and post them tonight.

I would watch out Widow. Stubs is in da house!

I'm watching Badge!
But you need to watch out for:
Digler Sr.
Digler Jr.
Widow
Slyther the Clod

[EeePee]

Hurry up already!

Serioulsy Badger, don't hide it. show us what you got?

Did yuo get your mammoth in?

[badger]

OK here it is.... Keep in mind, I had NO help from Dirk on this project.






Here is a shot of the articulation for you crazy kids who can't get enough artic.



Here it is with it's older brother "Roid" (Finnaly got a name thanks to Grizz... brings another tear to my eye....



I think he's gonna like it!

[Tuffguy]

Glad to hear that my useless banter is of some use occasionally.

I like Stubs. I have wondered how a short and stubby crawler (kinda like the small rockbuggies) would do. I'm not sure what yer doing with the links there but I am sure you will fill us in. Caint wait to see the progress.

[DirkDigler]

I don't really get it.

I guess it will drive much like a Bobcat.
Especially if you could operate the left and right wheels independently. NOw that would be cool!

[TXTFUN]

I know, I know.... Your gunna make an 8 wheel drive out of 2 SWB TXT's running mamoth boxes in each and linking them in series clod style with 8 wheel steer via a web of Y harnesses.... Hmmm that thing could really crawl I recon... I wish I had too much money and too much time, maybe I need to buy a hobby shop.

[badger]

No its really just a bad joke...

I was putting this together and did not have the rest of the parts so I set it down and thought it looked rediculously funny like that.

I am planning on building it out like my other TXT.

[DirkDigler]

that's kind of what I thought.

I just can't imagine that something like that would perform on steep inclines.

[EeePee]

I see you re-relocated your steering servo.
Stripped gears was just too much eh?

[Krod_Clod]

awesome!


but one question.....what the hell happend to that pink stuffed animal in the background....did you give it to the TXT's to play with again

Yeah, two $25 sets of servo gears are enough for me!

The idea was to have it look completly opposite from one of your bad ass crawlers.
