Here are the spec's from my crawler...my first build I've ever attempted. There was a lot of trial and error and frustation. I made all the links, the chassis, the battery tray, the servo mounts and everything else from scratch by hand. All made with Dremel, drill, grinder and brain. After a lot of reading, looking at these pictures, and trying stuff that didn't work, I now have an awesome truck!! Thanks to all of you out there. See ya on the rocks!!

The shots are from my favorite playground, the Susquehanna River!!

This is my first attemt at any thing in the R/C world. Some of parts I am little embarassed about

. The chassis and the axle housings are made out of alluminum from the local hardware store. The body is off of the Emaxx I hack. I am looking for a replacement body, but that will be awhile before that happens.

Does any one know of any wheel wideners for an emaxx to 23MM? These wheels are to far in to clear my batteries.
