|  MFC(my first crawler)--DONE!!!!!
Hey guys, This is my first crawler,and so far,I think its going pretty O.K. Specs: Chessis:TXT-1 hacked like a mutha with custom shock mounts WB:15 1/2" Tranny/Axes:txt/txt Shocks:stock savage shocks. ESC:EVX.Had one laying around.Waiting for TR2 Servos:CS80 f/r.Waiting for those,also Wheels/Tires:40 series outbacks on 40 series reg. moabs battery mounted on axles GD600 in the mail Before I started modding the truck,I somehow managed to snap the tranny "arms",so I havent driven her in a while..Ive tried to hold it down with zipties,but no luck. Pics: Hacked chassis with custom skid  Shock mounts  I miscalculated on one of the mounts,so it has an extra hole  Mounted on chassis  Axle mounted with shocks to chassis  Electronics mount   Good COG   Battery..Just temerary.NOT WORKING  Let me know what you guys think so far..This is my first build,so I know its nothing great...Critisism is welcome if needed  Thanks guys!!Btw:im only 15=) Last edited by WestCoastPJ; 04-16-2006 at 09:08 PM. |

I only think the battery inside the wheel works when you use the XTM thorn wheels, they will hold the 40's series tire, but has a little bigger of an OD. Looks good though

hey guys, I have a little problem..I took the driveshafts(revo) apart,and when I try to put them together,it has a hard time,so its not moving freely..I think its because theres air in there..Is there a way I can have it moving free again?THANKS! |

The Revo shaft's splines are "timed." Are the yokes on the female and male ends lined up? They should be, if they're not they'll bind. Moved to the TXT forum.  |

Are you going to add a brace between the tops of the shock towers? It would make your towers alot stronger. Mine have taken a beating from all the rollovers.

The ride height looks a little high but thats just me. Mabye move the shocks out to last hole on axle. Looks good though.

Is that a battery wire going across the front of your tie rod? Seems like that might get chewed up in a hurry.

Looks like a great build so far. When I first read the title, I thought this was going to be something related to Dane Cook (comedy)and his Car accident skit...haha Monkey F***ing a coconut....Sir is that you? Monkey f***ing a coconut? MFC?
