Very good brug. I see you lowered the body down. I am considering doing something similar. The stock way it is very high up and it flexes allot in a rollover seems prone to damage being so high. I may just have to get my scissors out again.
Have a good day!

I like the look, plus it really helps when it rolls over, 90% of the time I can't get it to land on its tires. Thanks!

I don't have a bill to spend on some custom wheels right now, so I decided to make a couple beadlock/ rockrings. I made them out of 1/8" steel, added a little more weight. I just put them on the outside of each wheel, reused bolts. Can make some more for 15 shipped. Let me know what you think.Name:  Venom Creeper.jpg

Well....as many people who have said bad things about a Creeper...

I really like this rig, it is very capable. I am really running out of things to do to improve it, it just works!

I have $375 in it RTR. Can't beat it, well worth buying to any newcomer, just my .02

Well, Creeper will be sitting for a few days, sold my servo, and getting new tires for fun. Anybody know where I can get a spektrum module for my M8 or do I have to get a new radio.

the M8 and M11 are the same module so you should be able to get it anywhere that sells spektrum items..

Nobody needs a built creeper, selling RTR minus steering servo for $210 shipped, m8 radio and all.
