|  my xf/txt 1:6 jeep toilet tuber its a friggin monster. its a heavy pig. and its a lot of fun. might not be the latest and greatest in rc comp rigs, but it wheels virtually exactly like a full sized would.                  |

| the entire chassis is pvc. http://pics.montypics.com/badhoopty/...6_p1310139.jpg http://pics.montypics.com/badhoopty/...3_p1310158.jpg Quote:
...or in other words, dont tire kick my posts... the lower 'hoop' where the tranny and cells are located is filled with fiberglass resin for strength and to keep the cog down. the cells, the tranny, the motor, all that stuff i tried to keep as far down ass possible. but given the nature of the construction and design, it obviously has a higher cog than a comp style rig. regardless, it still boggies on the rocks, and my 1:6 clod based toilet tuber is far more tippy than this guy. | |

| Do you have any close up shots of the link mounting points on the axles? I am looking to build a crawler from a twinforce but am not sure how to attach the links. Thanks. |

| I've seen your crawler around before and have always thought it was awesome! Great ingenuity with the pvc pipe and everything! What happened to the kongs though?  |

| Maaaaaaaaan, that thing is TOO cool :-). Looks like a ton 'o' fun and very capable. Glad we could help in the construction of it even if it was just a pinion mod |

i'll probably just bring down the red guy, the yellow one will most likely donate its gear reductions and 480 sized cans to the boyer rig so i can run a better link setup. i might bring the yellow one down anyway, just so you can check it out and see how dang easy it is to make one. | |
