I think someone should make a mechanical foot that they can bridge the gaps with.:lol:

If thats the case, tell me all the good stuff8) I was really wanting to see what you came up with:lol:
If i build something it'll likely just be a 2.2 moa, rear steer, dig. The big thing keeping me from doing it is I'd have to buy a new radio.

Get creative, come and show what you can do with it.
And I'm thinkin course's will be 16" wide that you can get all 4 tires through at every gate. Just have fun getting to the gates. ha ha

I am wanting to build one for this, but I need to get funds together and parts. We are having a swap meet this weekend and I am hoping to sell and buy enough parts to build something sweet. It would be something like out of a Mad Max movie, Huge tires, square edges, and probly not place in the top 5, but it sure would be fun to build and drive. We will have to see what happens this weekend....

Just throwing a few random ideas that MIGHT work, dunno yet though.
Ok, so how about 4 independent motors geared super low with wheels attached, then mount that onto a link that can rotate 120* starting with the bottom of the tire at 9 o'clock and allow it to move the 1 o'clock position. Understand me so far? If not, PM me and I'll explain in much greater detail. Anyhoo, back on topic. Each link has its' own shock as do most normal RC crawlers. Ok, very imaginative frame design right here: Esc and such fit inside a "sphere" split into 3 pieces: 2 hemispheres and a lil strip that each hemi secures into. Then, 2 links attach to one hemisphere, the other 2 do the same with the other hemisphere. The 2 hemi's can rotate freely like something with a bearing or something, I dunno, just imagining it in my head. You guys understand what I'm saying so far? Can you picture it? Hopefully you can! Anyhoo, batteries are LiPo, small yet powerful, and they go inside the sphere on one of the pieces. Ok, so if you can imagine what I am, than this would be the ultimate crawler in that it can articulate 360*, each wheel can move 120* so if you dont have a good steady tire on a rock, you can just turn it and bam! Now you do! This would require a very big radio with like 9 channels, so I don't think it's THAT possible, but definately probable. Anyhoo, that's my crazy weird idea for an unlimited crawler. If I had the money, I'd build it and kick some a$$! lol Then sell it for lots! haha chyeah

Is there a crack smoking smiley that can be inserted in here somewhere?:lmao: Can you sketch this idea out on paper please!

Nope, no crack smoking smiley on here, but you can make one if you know how lol And that's a very nice representation of what I was thinking of, but that's in 2D lol Haha, maybe put lil actuators on each "arm" so when you get stuck you can just pull your wheels up and pivot on the wheel! lol And no, I'm not on drugs or anything, you just said "unlimited" so I let my imagination run wild, that's all.

So you would need no less than a 12 channel TX then yea?

dumb question... why call it 2.2 unlimited when you don't have to run 2.2's??? Wouldn't 12.5 unlimited make more sense?
TattooKenny

Because it's not a 1.9 unlimited and it's not a Super unlimited, that leaves 2.2 unlimited"thumbsup"
