how about a 2.2 twin hammers crawler?

[ebay007]

i had an idea of building a true crawler based on the TH axles and the two speed transmission.
i know that there is a steering problem (well, there isn't any steering) but i can 3d print parts that will hold the stress or fit some other parts.
i think the LCC CVD's can fit with a few adjustments.

the advantages are the smooth axles, easy maintenance, two speed, high quality, and being custom.

what do you think?

Done, going on the 4th comp and running strong...Doc.

Do you mean making your own c hubs and knuckles and using a rear axle in front?

yes. i might not have to make the entire steering. maybe some of the LCC and the vaterra parts will fit with a few mods.

any opinions?

I see it more as an expensive idea than an interesting one. What you're thinking about building all ready exists, it's called an Axial Wraith.
It's an interesting idea, but I do see a few challenges and little pay-off.
I would just go crazy on a Wraith if I had the kind off budget you're talking about and access to a 3D printer. Maybe an AX10 if scale isn't important.
