My Creeper Sportsman bulid

[OPP]

Hello,

I´m Max from munich/germany.

And this is my Sportsman build , i hope you guy´s can give me some sugestions or tips?













Thanx for watching

That looks really good! Only thing I'd think about doing is removing the front axle skid. Ya did the rear and if you do the front, less catching on rocks.

Looks good! As long as you like the way it performs then I would leave it the way it is.

i agree ;) dont be afraid to scratch up those front links their metal for a reason ;) ahahh nice rig!! i dig iT!!!!

I put it off in this second ..... anybody need some creeper axelskid´s

[sidewaystreak]

clean... build homie nice

[lazynocturnal]

that is a good looking rig, all i can really say is grind off the plastic nubs on the axle where the skid plates mount to, and maybe move the body mounts to the top, but thats a personal preference there. what are those drive shafts your using?

Regardless of who makes the shaft, get some heat shrink over the ends to keep the pins in tight and all will be a lot happier.

The flex is impressive and a lot more than most folk run, especially me, but a lot of crawling is down to driver ability and preference on how his/her rig is set up.
Run it and evaluate it and see if you need to make improvements.

Nice clean build and I love the body.

Ahhh, thanx for the tip

[icemancrawler]

If you'd like to get a lower CG invert your shocks. and deffinatley shrinkwrap the CV joints on the shafts and on the your axles

[OPP]

Now are all cvd´s shrinked , and today my new shoes are arived.







Ahhh, i reinstalled the frontskid, work´s much better in my eyes.

[icemancrawler]

I run all my skids with liitle snagidge. its all in what works for you. and nice street crawling just dont get a parking ticket

[madmax22]

I would take the wing off the body. Doesnt look right on a crawler IMO. Nice wheels, and tires, i love my rovers.

What kind of rims are those?

[OPP]

Rims are TopCad´s. After yesterdays first comprun are the fr diff gife´s up totaly, i know, the difflocking problem. Now i filed the diffhousing complet up wit 5min epoxi... i hope this is bombproofen enough.

P.s. im ending the comp on 6th place of 14en

you may want to flip your rear driveshaft around so it runs the same way as the front shaft (so On the rear the male portion would be on the axle). I've had a few snags where it catches the lip of the shaft on the rear. 15/32" brass tubing will press fit over the Junfac CVD cups and work better than heat shrink.
I've also still got my skid plates on and just modified the rear one so it now rolls around the axle more. I've yet to hang on the rear. The front I keep more to keep my servo alive longer.

BTW - nice looking rig, those new wheels look killer!

[OPP]

Flipin the rear, damn, somtimes im realy a dumbass, that´s a good idea.

[Axisdrummer20]

Awesome rig looks good
