Seriously, man I'm going to have to work on this, that's bad ass.

Took AFC out for another test on sunday. Lasted lass than a minute. So unsatisfying.

Found out where the weak spot is. Kinda dissapointed too. It was the CVD. Snapped at the ball part of the outter stub.

I can say that the HH Cobalt motor is probably the strongest, smoothest, & fastest motor out right now.

How is the low end throttle control? Can you get that super slow wheelspeed that a 55t is capable of? Thanks DTP

DISTURBIN' tha PEACE · 01-08-2008, 12:05 PM

Oh yeah, it's awsome. I still haven't done the initial set-up with the ESC & transmitter yet either. You know, the full throttle, full reverse, then neutral thing. Still lots of control & super smooth.

Well, basically it's a R2 w/a chino dig. You need to ruin a perfectly good $100 bruiser trans for this. I don't have any other pics of it. You can see some of it in previous posts. Probably not too good though. It's very finicky if it's not set-up & adjusted right. Sometimes it would'nt lock/unlock. But now I think I got the kinks out of it. Unlike the shaft type digs that use a sliding coupler or R2D's that will only engauge/disengauge @ 180*. This will go from 4WD to Fwd to dig in just about any 5th* of rotation.

Here it is with the panels finally done & on the rocks.

CrawlnSlow · 01-18-2008, 04:58 PM

This is by far my fav tuber so far. Are you having anytrouble with the maxx diff hanging on the back end?

Xtant3150c · 01-19-2008, 02:17 AM

Panels came out really good man!

run2jeepn · 01-19-2008, 05:19 AM

Ya those panels look sweet. Got to give it to ya. Best Maxx crawler to Date and my guess is will rank the highest in comps among other Maxx's... very nice..

Thanks, they don't hang up at all. Way more clearance than any other axle. Besides Poulsons.

Those pesky bugs can be a pain in th butt.

Tzi · 01-20-2008, 02:16 AM

I think I've found the last bug.... try plugging the battery in

On a more serious notw, that thing looks unreal. I always admire those people who think outside the box and come up with new and different ways of building crawlers. It really proves that you dont need to buy the same as everyone else... Top work

NaZ-T · 01-20-2008, 08:34 PM

Lookin good DTP. Very clean.

Hope to see it in person some day.

Thanks Mike. Agent J inspired me. Maybe in Moab.

Finally got around to fixing AFC. Since I was breaking CVD's every 5-10 minutes, I switched back to my BMVII for the first comp of the season. I've now had the time to rebuild this. I changed the motor back to a 55t lathe. Although not as powerful as the cobalt, it got the job done without breaking stuff. I also mounted up some new badlands. These are just as good as claws but so much better at sidehilling.

This past sunday was AFC's first comp. She did very well on all three courses. Coulda took the win if not for a dumb driver mistake. Had to settle for third. Also had some problems with my dig set-up. The brake mechanism would not want to release, I had to take a reverse almost every time I used it. Time for a new design.

Here's some action pics from the comp.
