Thanks, finally got the rear-end connected last night. So now it's time to make the front axle...I'm in no hurry on this truck, but im getting anxious to get it out back on the rocks and see what it can do

but my grinder is taking a shit on me( bearings are shot) so that may slow me down some :?

here are a couple shots so far of the rear end...

WOW, that thing is going to be sweet when it's finished.

Soya · 04-25-2005, 04:10 PM

Very nice, the bent lower links are a nice touch.

TwistedCreations · 04-25-2005, 04:12 PM

Thanks guys. the lower links aint so much as looks, but for clearance over the steering links

if not, they would smack on compression

ttrmike · 04-25-2005, 05:19 PM

I agree, how wid are your axles from knukle to knukle?

TwistedCreations · 04-25-2005, 05:43 PM

WMS-WMS is the same as a wide version maxx- 13"

CustomCrawler · 04-25-2005, 05:54 PM

How well does the short link setup work? (assuming you have a similar setup on yours)

TwistedCreations · 04-25-2005, 05:56 PM

it works just fine... just as good as my longer links on my current truck. it just gives less links to drag on the rocks. I will use the belly pan of the truck to slide over the rocks with. the lower section(sides) and bottom of the chassis will have delrin skidplates on it. the links are like 5 1/2" long if i remember right

rocpede · 04-25-2005, 08:47 PM

that looks sic man and can't wait to see it done.

Soya · 04-25-2005, 09:59 PM

The links on my truck that we're building are 5" long, which doesn't seem that long compared to Mnster's clod links.

TwistedCreations · 04-26-2005, 06:02 AM

yeah, the links on my current truck are like 7"

stampaid4 · 05-03-2005, 09:35 PM

i love that crawler...it is going to be sick! i am tring to make one simular to that!
heres my problem i bought 2 maxx diffs and i am going to make axels but i want to use my stampede tranny is it possible to do that...you kno to use stampede drive lines on the maxx diff?? i also want to use stampede tires and rims??
please i really need help!!

TwistedCreations · 05-04-2005, 06:07 AM

well got it up and running last night. still need to work on the suspension some, but at least it climbs rocks now

then after the suspension is set,i'll finish the body panels and other crap. in the pic, the truck stands at 11" tall and has a belly clearance of 5"

ohh- heres also a pic without shocks on and it being able to twist.so you see the short links really don't make much a difference

pede trans has a 5mm output and the maxx diffs have a 6mm output, so you will have slop on the pede side.

ExtremeOffRoad · 05-04-2005, 06:44 AM

that truck looks bad a$$. the tube chassis looks freakin awesome. i definently gonna hve to build one this sumer when i get outta school. it has some awesome flex. how many degrees are you going to limit the twist to? what ever works best? i just bought a lst and im gonna tear the tires off and try them on mine. they look sweet on yours. what did u say the wheel base is on yours again?

TwistedCreations · 05-04-2005, 07:31 AM

Thanks..

not sure on how much flex yet, but i'm trying to shoot between 50-60, but depends on whatever works best

WB is 16"

mike · 05-04-2005, 07:59 AM

ttrmike · 05-04-2005, 08:14 AM
