|  Jugger 2 part 2
I never really posted my first Juggernaut build-up. It came out really good and crawled awesome. However, my Clod has always had a little edge over my Jugg, so it spent most of it's time on a shelf while I used the Clod for comps.   At our last two comps there was talk of a new class in the works. The wheelbase will be limited to 14", current production tires only, and 2-wheel steering. My TLT "Buster" has been wheelin like a demon lately, but what if it was 1.5" longer and had little larger tire? Or what if my Jugg was 2" shorter with lower narrower tires??... Had to keep the FJ40 body.  I cut down the chassis plates and shortened the 4-links. With my 8-cell 2/3A battery and the MaxxMashers, it's 2 pounds lighter.  Check out how the BFT rims narrowed up the outer and inner track (OT-12.5" and IT-6").  I tipped the trans like on my TXT, which really lower the CG.  I've only had a chance to test crawl in the backyard, but all seems good. I'm hitting the rocks with Chris and Mitch tomarrow, it should be fun. If anyone was wondering, MaxxMashers ROCK!! |

| Test crawling @ Recker
The bikeshop's been crazy lately and I lost a mechanic with a broken hand. I wish a had more time to test crawl before the next comp but I have had a couple of chances to get out to Recker Rd.   I relocated my ESC lower and inside the chassis plates and RX up and safe. I also stood-up the rear shocks some more and stitched to heavier springs, this did wonders for the last of the torque roll.  I had to go back and test it with no gear-drive on a single lathe w/9t. We may not allow GDs in the spec/drivers class. It worked great about like a Clod with lathes and stock 13t.   |

looks nice! i really like the idea of a crawler that is a little bit bigget, but not as big as the supercrawlers. im thinking of doing this with my car but going the other way. tlt axles with a bigger chassis, and some 2.2 all-ts. would come out to about the same size. and it should be pretty fun. should post up some more pics. this thing is interesting harris |

| I like juggs   I'm in the midst of trying to finish up the TXT I've been dragging my feet on. I love your new chassis design as well. Can't wait to crawl over it someday...  -Rich |

Diggin the chassis.. Did it used to be a shock tower for something, or did u cut it out yourself? I've got a juggy myself, just haven't done anything with her yet.  Also, whose wheel adaptors are u running? U seem to have the track and everything about right. |
