no thats probably not a good thing venomcrawlerdud could possibly come apart on ya .

well i finished putting the creeper back together got all the new bearings installed ( thanks avid ) got the new xvd's installed ( thanks rc4wd for making more of these ) also got the new chassis installed as seen in the above pics ( thanks dinky r/c for a quality product ) . i will get pics up soon of the new creeper . i need to get out and test it once the snow melts off and i can get to some rocks without sloshing through 6" of mud

if it works the way it is i have massive ground clearance so we will see

well not that i want to get rid of mine. im running the pro-line powerstroke scaler shock. they are 90mm or 95 if you change the rod ends. they work great. im very happy with them. they are just a real pita to bleed...i was quoted $30 from my lhs. which is cheaper than alot of online retailers. they are also a smaller diamater shock body, which worked great with my limited space of the chassis and steering that im running.

well looks like i have the shocks i needed thanks guys

viper6171 · 03-06-2011, 10:54 PM

okay after doing some searching i found a set of traxxas shocks that are 90mm extended got them installed on looks much better now to test it

viper6171 · 03-16-2011, 09:22 PM

much better with the new shocks and the new chassis is working well , i went to one of our local comp spots and ran some of the lines that i had problems with or couldn't pull off at all and i pulled off almost all of them one is almost impossible to get because of an undercut that is almost exactly as tall as a rover tire . our first comp of the year is this saturday so now i just have to remember how to drive

and i will post some pics of the new setup maybe tomorrow and pics of the comp on sat

viper6171 · 03-21-2011, 01:50 AM

well it is basically like the stock setup i made a new connecting link because the venom rod ends were binding up bad ( ball didn't want to rotate ) so i made a new one had to trim the ends to allow full turning then i bent it in the center to clear the center of the axle case i reused one of the old upper links as a draglink and now my steering is nice and smooth

Chappy4o · 03-22-2011, 08:21 AM

would you mind posting a couple pics up of your setup?

okay chappy here are the pics ( sorry about the blurriness i need a better camera)

rybredd · 03-24-2011, 08:08 AM

is that chassis still available, is the creeper skid an option? i love the way it looks and how well the VW body fits it!

ive have 1 of those bodies sitting here in the bag, but dont think it will suck down that low in the stock chassis....

yes the chassis is availible , i'm not sure how much it would be because you don't need the skidplate or the chassis braces that it comes with . the designer of the chassis is looking at making a direct fit version for the creeper ( i made adaptor plates for mine as it is the first creeper to be used in this chassis ) i will get a link for the chassis maker he is a good guy tell him i sent you and that it is for a creeper

hope this link works
