something special.

figured that i would finally post my creeper and introduce myself to the creeper crowd. im james from alaska. i think i read every word of every build for the creeper to compare in price for my next buy. i have a scaler and wanted a crawler to play with too and the creeper price and spare or cheap electronics i had on hand made it right up my ally. im going to start competing this year but not looking to win just have fun. so i made a cool super budget creeper that even as poorly set up as it is, had really suprised me with some awesome lines and steep crawls. i only have poser in the garage shots right now since the last time i took it out a couple weeks ago i forgot my camera. but my buddy who was driving it that day took some good shots, just have to wait till hes back in town in a month or so. but this is going to be my continuous thread so i will update with pictures and adventures throughout the summer. thanks for looking and all the amazing builds. james.

specs are as follows...
creeper kit
integy 2.2 chassis (for now)
novak 55t motor
stock axial esc ae1
ccbec
savox sc1258tg
axles are stock except i too got tired of them popping unlocked so they are jb welded and washer modded. just incase.
stock wheels with two wraps 1/4 in lead in front and two wraps 3/16 lead in rear
losi rock claw tires stock foams
axial drive shafts
running 3000 nimh batteries in part of the stock tray. top heavy but works well for now.
27 mhz radio and receiver (till i can afford another spektrum)
i think thats it. ask away if need be.


in stock form on my garage course

next are its current setup as listed in the specs

looks nice, i like the hiden electronics under the hood that you made.

 

[guy]

cool

very cool Hood comes with a chassis?

 

[venomcrawlerdud]

the hood doesnt come with the chassie it is a body panel that he maid and now uses like a hood.

 

[907toytaco]

thanks guys. ya all the body panels i made out of sheet aluminum from a local hardware store.

Some nice ideas in your rig.

A comment, you will want to spend a few dollars for Deans or Sermos/Anderson PowerPole connectors for the batteries & motor. Your current connectors will become an issue over time.

If you order batteries from CheapBatteryPacks.com you can get packs with pretty much any connector you want."thumbsup"

good lookin build bro "thumbsup"

one suggestion i have is if you havent already check out rmdw's T's & T's sticky, then get those rear upper links raised and spread apart. "thumbsup"

cant wait to see more

well done

WELCOME ABOARD, RIG LOOKS GREAT, ALWAYS LIKE A TUBER. I TRIED THAT CHASSIS TOO FOR A WHILE BUT WENT WITH THE VULTURE , SO MANY MORE OPTIONS WITH IT. KEEP US UP TO DATE WITH YOUR MODS"thumbsup"

so its been awhile since i updated on my creeper thread. i loved the way this was performing but wanted somthing different. i wanted to make it kind of a top truck look. so last xmas i got myself some parts and went to work. i havent gotten to run my rc as much as i would have liked this summer but its been working very well. then a couple weeks ago i got bored and and added rear steer. venom on an axial frame. more to come eventually. just thought id share some progress.

straped to the back of my bike for some excercise and a bit of trail riding

as it sits now with rear steer

Awesome! Updated 1.5 year old thread, with the creeper still kickin! I was going to let you know how sweet the stock paint an Toyota stickers looked bad! Now that I got to the fresh pics, I see two Toyota's! Sweet rigs! Toyota fan here as well...

 

[907toytaco]

thanks, ya i like my toyotas. that creeper has surprised me every time i take it out. i have only broke one c-hub, and one axle pin. still all stock except i washer locked and jb welded both diffs. still a novak 55t motor, an old original axial hocho esc, a cc bec, savox 1256tg servo in front and 7.2v 3000 stick packs. hasent failed yet...

 

[viper6171]

rig looks good "thumbsup"

 

[907toytaco]

once i get my garage cleaned up and finished building my welding table i will be welding a very basic rear cage. to fill in the emptyness in back.

Looks great man I love it quick question
So that's just a stock axial chassi and the venom stuff bolted to it pretty well
