Nice one Matt, looks brilliant, certainly a very capable machine"thumbsup"

Good to see it's still coming along nicely."thumbsup"

Its getting there slowly but surley. Moved the rear upper links down at chassis to stop the rear collapsing when up at an angle. Added some weight to the wheels all round. Changed the glow plug for a hotter one. All seems to have made it more predictable and more capable.

I am enjoying driving this thing because it has no reverse, It means I study the route more before I start. That should help me out in comps too. I drove the comp truck afterwards and almost forgot I had reverse.

Thanks for the comments.

Matt

im glad that works,,,,

that thing is sweet

and they said it cant be done.....lol
 

That's crazy!

that rig gets better and better. it is awsome.

doesnt it heat up alot or no?

There is a fan that is directly blowing onto the head of the engine. I can hold the engine after 10 or so minutes running and not burn myself (sorry no temp gauge) If anything, It doesnt get hot enough.

Matt

thats cool "thumbsup" I want one:lol:

I guess that's pretty good for a nitro."thumbsup"

The noise is still annoying as hell.:ror:

That worked a lot better then I thought it would. Nice work.

your getting the rocks full of oil:lol:

Thats pretty cool! Looks pretty capable as well.

I wonder how well a 4-stroke would work? A bit more torque and a less annoying sound...

As far as a nitro crawler goes that is as good as I have seen. Probably fun to play with but I would go insane with the noise. :lol:

And they said it couldn't be done..........pretty cool man.

Vary kool


The noise is still annoying as hell.

The noise is bearable but after 10 minutes I have to turn it off and chill out with the electric for a while.
I have looked into fourstrokes but I cannot find one small enough and the gearboxes are geared for a small engine with high revs.

Thanks for watching guys.

Matt

Very impressed, I always thought someone could come up with a working nitro crawler. Good Job!
