Looks like its built well and you put a lot of time into it, but it doesnt belong on a site like this.

 

[MaxxZilla]

It does look good, but I don't see that thing crawling very well.

oh ... common guys, it may not win a crawling competition but im sure it'll crawl.

btw, love the details! ;-)

 

[1beatjeep]

did you win this off ebay. just other self book marker.

 

[shephead]

no i didnt win it from ebay i built it from the ground up. its not supposed to win any crawling competitions, i have other crawlers for that, its more or less a show peice. but it will crawl ill post some videos when im finished with it.

I believe that comment was completely inappropriate.

It's 4 linked with clod axles, the only difference between it and most everyones first crawler is the big a$$ heavy body.. And I've seen a couple others who have built large scale crawlers with the same body and at least one who built a large scale crawler with a jeep body and even put a couple of freakin' dolls in it and didn't get told it didn't belong here.

It may not be proformance oriented but it does kick major ***. If nothing else it's just cool to see something as diffrent.

Nice job man!

 

[shephead]

thanks guys, i thought some of you would appreciate it. i can take a little criticizim {not sure if i spelled that right} if you look real hard i have 2 gi joe's in there also.lol by the way here are a couple of new pics. hope you like em.

 

[v33]

[shephead]

That thing is sweet, how are the jumbo kongs workin for you?

 

[shephead]

the kongs are great so far, im just a little worried about all of the weight on the axles ,i wouldnt want to try and jump it or anything. im really looking into getting a set of gear reductions for it.

 

[bigtiresrbetter]

Kool. Did you mount then using adapters or screws?

 

[shephead]

i made adapter/wideners from bolts and locknuts and they are tack welded together. ill take some pics of them soon so you can see what i did.

 

[dragon9112]

wahaha ha realy cool i like it really
i want one to

 

[lonestar]

That thing is wicked!!! I have a very similar truck in the works, visually the same anyways. New bright 1/6 hummer body, kongs, x-factor axles, savage 3-speed trans, twin ofna force .25's, 1/4 scale servo's(4ws), integy savage shocks. etc. Its gonna be huge! I will post picks when I get it closer to completion. But i must compliment you on a really insane truck.

Power to the 1/6 scale trucks!!! :lol:

 

[shephead]

thanks for the kind words lonestar. your truck sounds like it will be awsome. i would love to see it keep us posted.
