| Hey Guys, Here is my Creeper, and why I think I should be a tester!. First of all, this is not my first crawler, I have been building crawlers for about 2 years now (I have also been a paid member to RCC for that long). I started off with the TLT axles, moved up to the Axial, and now this set up. Secondly, if it matters, I am already a repeat customer of RC4WD, mostly having purchased tires from you! And last but not least, my CVD's are currently BROKEN! (like many other peoples), so this would hopefully make me fit the description. I can take pictures of the installation process, as well as action pics if you would like. Let me know if you are interested! Thanks, Adam Heres the truck!   I also have a Canon Digital Rebel Xti for the photography process, as photography is also a passion of mine! |

| Taken today with a Canon a550 in its most current state, after playing in the muddy rocks at work.   Here between 14 seconds an 20 second in,(water fall video) is why I want to test out your axles. I have my servo maxed out and I am running a 23mm servo horn and the servo raised to clear the horn. I beat on my creeper daily. I think with your axles I may try adding more weight to the tires! I know I will be testing the snot out of them if I win, with shots of the testing and full on assult on them. |

| Hi guys,Thanks for such a great offer. I would be thrilled at the opportunity to be one of your testers, I have had my creeper since they first came out, I think I would be a good candidate for your new axles, I live in St George Utah we have alot of extreme terrain here that will no doubt put these new axles to the test, We wheel every weekend as well as one day in the middle of the week. I run 1.0 lb in each front tire as well as .75 lb's in each rear tire, I run a very high torque motor that has been proven to break its fair share of parts, (4) stubs Countless pins in the driveshaft and axles (3) drivelines (2) C-hubs (1) steering knuckle as well as some other misc parts. I have included a couple pics' of my rig from a comp it took first place in a week and a half ago and a couple of it with the new paint job  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utA0_...e=channel_page Last edited by 1\4elliptic toy; 03-04-2009 at 09:59 PM. |

| bee crawler Just broke my 4th set of axles. Total drive time as of today has been 10 minutes, then it breaks. This last break was caused from a pin coming out and snapping. The guy at venom must think I'm BSing him on all of the replacement parts have ordered. Please let me try to run my lipo out before I hear "snap" again!  |

| Man, make this test quick. The need for a stronger axle is very much needed. |

|  Why should I be given the opertunity to test the new XVD? If you're concerened with durability, I run a heavy truck, 6oz aluminum wheels with an aditional 7oz of weight per front wheel. I comp hard and I play harder. If its going to break, I'll be the one to break it. With that said, I might be the only creeper that hasn't broken a stock cvd. I had one with a pin slide out and destroy c-hubs and bend the pin, other than that no issues. As for photogaphy, I have some very nice photoghaphy equipment and training so I can provide great photos if nesicary. most bord photos a do with my iPhone but when it required i pull out the good equipment. I'm here to help if you want me. |
