Ive been working on this one for about 6 months now and finally tested it last sunday. The frame is basically an enlarged G2 with a few braces changed. The main diffrence is the bottom tranny mount which is only an inch wide and two inches in length greatly reducing the number of hang ups. Ground clearance is at 4 7/8 inches. Very happy with it so far. I plan on having the first run of these ready mid january.

Excellent.

And it's freaking beautiful.

I can't tell from the pics Mitchell, but do you have any spacers on the shock mounts to move the shocks out away from the frame mounts?

if not, you don't have any problems with shock caps hitting the mounts when they move around?

aubie · 11-23-2005, 08:04 PM

Theres small spacers there. No problem with the caps hitting.

What's the wheelbase?

sweet looking tuber. did you get the package i sent? how will this tuber be?

aubie · 11-28-2005, 04:38 PM

It does good on verticals. Needs a tad bit of weight on the rear, swapping the reciever pack to the rear steering servo should do it. Several people drove it at the stone mountain get togther and were impresed with it. Doesnt do well on 5 foot drops though, tends to snap stub shafts,

Kaaina the package arrived today.

Very Nice TXT Aubie.

I was one of the people that drove it at Stone Mountain and well. Lets just say I Just might have a TXT coming to me this week.

Dang I got to many crawler projects going !

Was very impressed with how well it took the abuse that you put it through.
Well tested I would say

Aubie,

Please keep this thread a TECH thread and not a vendor thread with availability and pricing.

You know the rules.

Got ahead of myself, sorry badger.
