Default "ROCTAPUS"

Hello, new to site, figured I'd show you guys pics of my TXT.
Let me know what you think.

I'd like to thank everyone that has posted info on this site, and I'd especially like to thank everyone that keeps this site rolling smoothly.

Excellent looking rig. Its about time someone is building crawlers that look like crawlers and not like monster trucks. This also looks like it should improve the handling characteristics as well. Not top heavy. Nice photos.

How about some body-off pics so we can see the guts.. etc. This should be the wave of the future in R/C Rock Crawlers.

Nice work. ROCTAPUS Rocks. javascript:emoticon('')
Cool

How do those shock mounts hold up in a nasty roll-over? I think some of the rolls I've done would snap those things clean off.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
I'm working on "naked" pics.

Rckjeep they are a little on the thin side. That's kinda why I have brace connecting the two. I'm working on some bigger ones, probably will machine them out of black delrin maybe alum. Then I'll probably lose the cross brace.

But, I have rolled pretty hard w/ this set-up and it has done ok.

Cool truck!

I like that last picture with the shadows and lens flare, good angle too.
