Getting back in ratrod crawler

[mcrawlinslow]

I’ve been out of the hobby for quite a while and a coworker had been bringing in his crawler and messin around with it which gave me the bug again lol. I used to do a lot of building but unfortunately I just don’t have the space for welder setup and definitely don’t have massive pile of parts I used to. I’ve decided to build a crawler again but this one will pretty much be a bolt together cheap build and hopefully I can get back into it and start actually building something again! I picked up this 3d printed body and decided to see if I could make it work as a crawler. I’ve already been buying parts and bolting things up and for now only have a couple pics. Now just have to see if I can remember how to insert them

Well i did a little tube work its been years and this was rushed but it will do lol. Also threw some 1.9's on it so think its gonna be a 1.9 rig now.

Looks great with 1.9s, and the tubework really makes that body work for me!

 

[mcrawlinslow]

Thank you! i agree on the 1.9's and wish i had more time to put into the tube work there were so many possibilities

That Black Widow buggy is awesome! What is it?

Looks like an old GMade R1 Rock Buggy

It pretty much is just like the R1 but it was just a cheap chassis, maybe by injora. Then I just ordered every part to build it from it being just a plastic chassis.

Very cool build!

Nice to see you back at it! You always liked to build the unusual. Looks like a good start to this one. Guess none of us can shake this hobby forever . I also just jumped back on this site and thinking of building another. You look at one scale comp rig online and BAM, the algorithm got you!
