Default Boston Crawlers king of the Hammers Rig

Boston Crawlers is having a rock race which is a scale version of the famous King of the Hammers race. I didnt want to use my berg and saw that my friends Creeper had potential of being a cool rock racer. So here is my build.

Venom Creeper
Custom home made TIG welded 4130 tube frame.
Castle Mamba Max
Tekin 13.5t sensored brushless
Enerland battery
Savox servo
HPI velocity wheels
Pitbull rocker tires
Hot racing steering knuckels, C-knuckles, rear lockouts and wheel spacers.


hand bent, notched the tubing with a dremel. mocked up

Chassis on the welding table.

All welded test fit

Powder coated John Deere green

The KOH rig is sick bro...please post a lot more pics. More tech. This is where things can really get fun cuz the Creeper is just about the best out of the box crawler. if its set up right this thing could easily win.

Thanks for the compliments guys I had a ton of fun building it. I wanted to make something specific for rock racing and was originally thinking of buying an axial but for the $ you can't touch the venom. The thing is really a blast to drive. After seeing my buddy hang with the bergs with his venom comp rig i knew it had potential. For the chassis I made it to USRCCA specs(3"wide,3.75" tall and 8" long). It sits pretty low for a crawler but I wanted to make it stable at speed. I also widened the track width to 12.5" The motor setup works great; mamba pro on 3s,tekin sensored brushless 13.5t with a 11t pinion. It has great top end,wheelie's off the line but still has usable low speed crawler torque(although I'd go to a lower turn if I was comp crawling). Oh yeah the chromoly tube frame weights less than the stock aluminum chassis/plastic battery tray!!! All built it weighs just 4.5 lbs with battery! I do need to work on the drivetrain a bit. first pre-run with it i busted a cvd and differential pinion but I was beating the hell out of it. oh well those are cheap.

Yeah if any of you guys are in the New England area come to Quincy this sat. Comp is gonna be fun and you can run it in any truck you want. I'll post more pics after the comp.
