|  my first crawler build Over the last 9 months or so I've been collecting the parts to build a crawler. I finally got it finished (for the most part) yesterday and got to play with it in the snow a little bit. *specs* emaxx tranny locked into 1st spooled diffs integy 55t motor hitec 645 front steering servo tower pro 955 rear steer servo double j custom axles double j verticle smile chassis ordered a moped esc as well so i can run off of one battery. I'm still working on the servo brackets, so they are just held on with tubing clamps for now. I need some stiffer springs but was surprised with what little torque twist I had, even with the shocks mounted to the links. i've also moved the battery to the upper links. *pics*      here is my modded tq3. the third steer wheel is self centering by using the steering wheel setup out of a broken Tq Tx.  |

| ok If you are using the traxxas evx esc have you tried to short out one side using a plug where you still get 14.4 volts and only have to carry the weight of one battery . I fergot whitch side it is but the skinny is on here serch for it, it might help alot!!!!!!!!!! later |

| You only get 14.4volts by running 12cells. 1.2v per cell x 12=14.4v  |

| the axles are made by the user Double J on here. they are steel. the beadlocks are maximizers. next will be to finish the servo mounts, have a little grinding to due to clear the steering links better, new V10 motor from Axiom, new battery pack from cheapbatterypacks.com |
