Made a few adjustments to my Creeper

[tigman250]

Cut out some sideplates out of some .125 thick aluminum, I liked the look of ripper7777777's chasis so drew up a rough outline on the aluminum and cut loose with the jigsaw......yeah, it wasn't pretty alot of filing was needed LOL! Locked out the rear steer with some 1/16" wire pieces bent up then flipped the knuckles to the center of the rig. used 70mm upper links, stock lowers, mounted ESC and recieiver on some plastic triangles on the uppers and batteries on some aluminum plates mounted on the axles. chopped up the stock tires (MUCH better but have no idea how they stack up because I have never ran any other tires) just need to make some kind of roof and hood to add suport to the top of chasis. lastly I'm working on a custom set of wheels, have them turned, just need to decide what kind of detail for the centers and I'll machine them hopefully by next weekend.

let me know what you think!

The tires look gnarly man. Good work on the rig.

You should really get some chassis braces.

I "boat sided" the front and back to make the shock angle better, makes it look like it's really tipped in. I have a temporary brace bent out of the 1/16" rod until I get some sort od a roof and hood made.

You mean "dove tailed"

I knew you did that on purpose, but you should still get something in the middle of the two plates.

If we're gonna get tech with it it'd be 'dovetailing' the rear and 'pinching' the front
