Default Wanna be crawler.....

Well here is my first Maxx Crawler....I was going to start on my tuber this past weekend, but when I got out the torch I was out of gas So feeling a bit discouraged I decided to slap together something quick with some scrap metal I had laying around. I think I am going to call It "Frankensteins Illegitimate Bastard Child". From start to finish I think that I have about 5 1/2 hours total in it, and it shows. I just wanted something to play around with while I build my tuber. I guess I'll go thru the usual rundown.

WMS to WMS=16 3/4", overall length=23 1/4", 3" diff. clearance, 4 3/4" center clearance, the chassis is nothing more than 2x2 angle, t-maxx based converted to electric (not sure of the motor name), TR2, Revo knuckles, Revo axles, Revo driveshafts, t-maxx shocks, 4WS. Out of everything on this POS, I think that I like my wind chime links the best. I used anything that I had lying around or hanging up (the wife was actually supportive)! If you want to know anything else, let me know.

I will start on the tuber hopefully next weekend if I have the time. Once I actually get started I will post some pictures.

Thanks, It actually does pretty well. When I put in the MM and GD600 it will be a lot better. I really wanted to get started on the tuber though. Just seems like something always happens to prevent me.
