Whats your over all wheelbase and Width on that?

Wheelbase - 19"

Width - 17.75"

Those tires are badass!!!:twisted:

do they look like they will do well on rocks? an alternative to moabs would be cool.

:shock: How soft are they? hard like jumbo kong or soft like rock claws??? I want to get some, but worried they will be a hard compound.:?: Have you had a chance to wheel them? "thumbsup"oh, by the way Way Cool Axles and Chassis, Looks Like "The Terminator"

Got mines too!!..Ill post up when i mount em..

Wow....those are awesome!

They look really hard in those pictures.

what axles are those?

Holy cow! Those would look great on my kid's go-cart!:shock:

Neat looking tires, too bad they arent going to work for competition...:(

Nice truck too! Pretty sweet axles!

Holy beefcake robin.................I can't stop staring a those axles...............Wait there are tires in those pics?

Those are amazing!! Lets see them in action!

dude, any vids?

X2 I would love to see a video of your rig. One to check out those tires and two those axles "Wicked".

Those tires make that 19in Wheelbase look a lot shorter..:lol:

those tires make those wheels look like 2.2's!

I know you posted this for your tires but your truck itself overrides the tires. Just an awesome awesome super rig you have built!! I've been planning something similar. Would you mind giving a better idea of what your truck and axles consist of? Possibly a build thread or a good set of body off pictures please? Would you mind describing what went into your axles and how you built them please? Thanks very much.

Compliments again on your build!!

Whoa, huge meats!
Will your invisible driveshafts clear the rocks? :lol:

Its one of the new super clear shafts......i ordered mine already

I hope the tires do justice to the rest of the rig. That thing is badass :twisted:

That thing is frigging wicked!! Can we get a pic with the hood off?

Lou

:shock:OK this thread got a little outa hand, and nobody else posted any photos, so I moved it.

Heres a little rundown of what I'm running.

*RC4WD R1 transmission (with custom Dig)

*Hyperion Outrunner motor (3125? or something like that)

*Punisher drive shafts (newest version)

*Mamba Max ESC

*2 cell Lipo (3500 mah)

*metal rod ends on custom links

*XTM mammoth shocks

*2 st125 JR servos (need to upgrade to 1/4 scale with the new rubber)

*All aluminum chassis

*axles - Aluminum Hi clearence axles made by me out of XTM XLB center diffs, CVD shafts, and drive cups.

*weighs in at almost 15 lbs, and has a final reduction ratio of almost 300:1


At 300:1, this thing is without a doubt a crawler. The lack of excesive wheel speed keeps things from breaking (with the old Moab XL's:lol:), Unless something binds, then I break a CVD joint.

The reason my driveshaft isnt there is because I am upgrading part of my dig setup. As soon as I finish it, I will post some "naked" pictures of the chassis.

I cant quite drive over the coke can, but its close... :twisted:


The tires... I cant wait to wheel with them, I think the extra size will make up for the fact that they are a little harder than my moab XLs were. First impresion is WOW. I think they will totally change my rig for the better. The XL's were a little small for my setup.:lol:

Stay tuned for pics -Brian

R1 tranny, wow, we never made that many of them :-)

The Rock Crusher 4.0 picture thread
 

Any progress on the dig so you can post the 'naked' pics?

How are the tires working out on this rig....rubber compound soft enough??

Can you give a more detailed description of the axle build?

Thanks a whole lot!!!!!

Any idea how many you made? I see you stoped selling them...

I hope to finsh the new Dig piece this week, so maybe some more photos this weekend.

I'm making the Dig drive unit out of 17-4 PH stainless steel (heat treated) and it takes some time.:twisted:

I havent used the tires yet.......:oops:

Stay tuned -Brian

R1 was very expensive, because the amount of shop time it took to make one. But the gear is very smooth and its very beefy. from R1 we learn to make R2. We probably sold no more than 10. We might still have some laying around. But its big and bulky, doesnt fit 2.2 size class well.

I'm sure that rig performs really well, but the axles look awful - sorry dude but they do

Would you care to elaborate?

Please, post some pictures of the AX10 you "built". I would like to see some of your fabrication skills.

I'm sure if I anodized my axles green you would like them...

:roll:

You know, people can have these crazy things called opinions.

paint them!! lol no those axles are sick. by far the sickest i have seen yet! get some pics of it nude! i like nude pics!

What angle are your axle's at? Looks about 15 deg. Are you using cvd's?

"thumbsup"

explain.

Explained.

The question "What angle are your axle's at? Looks about 15 deg." was not explained. I am just looking for some helpull advice. I understand that I am new to this site but a little help not criticism would be apreciated.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Can someone most a Short Vid of these in Action...

Yeah your truck is real sicc, prollly to sicc for those tires. A guy in our club ran them at our last comp and they sucked. BIG Time!!!! I don't think he cleared 1 gate.

sorry mate, just sounded like you were wondering if he was using cvd's due to high axle angle. If I came off as an ass I am sorry.
