Crawler Picture Thread

[Coco]

here is a couple updates on my rig: .... Yeah, I have no life....

Rig was really dirty for these pics, it was right after a race.

And some of how it looks now:

Love the look of that crawler!!!! I' looking into getting one and modding it like you have just for fun. Much cheaper than The G/C right now. Is all the chassis parts interchangeable? Is that how you got yours to slope down in the back like that? I saw one buggy on a vid of one of the races that looked just like fat girl from Youtube's rock bouncers vids.

Couple updates to my rig:

Got bored one day, and changed up for the front bumper, and with that, I had to make up a new grille:

new grill compared to the old one:

And how it turned out with the bottom bar cut off, and the bigger light buckets installed:

Then I completely changed it up, and put an Axial Trail Ranger (suzuki samurai) hood on it:

Trying to decide if I want to keep them, or go back to a toyota paneled option.

It's amazing to me how realistic (1:1) these look sometimes. Very cool rig Going Up.

Here is a couple more updates:

Cut up another hilux body, and I must say, it is looking GOOOD on there!! Also shortened up the rear cage, and cut up my old toyota bed panels, sure saved me a lot of time cutting up a new bed.

Here is some pics of it before paint, I will have more up of what it looks like with a hood and paint on it tonight or tomorrow.

heres my latest scaler to match my fullsize

 

[SLC97SR5]

Stock Ridgecrest: swapped the battery up front, Axial universals, 18t pinion, flipped the shock/link mounts, layed the shocks down, installed M3 machine screws and several sets of knuckles and C-hubs... Running a 7cell 5000mAh NiMh, I get 80-90min of run time.
EDIT: A bunch of time was spent tuning the ESC with a CastleLink, it is a blast geeking out with the settings and fixing an out of date firmware issue.

I wish I spent less time web wheeling, and spent more time making miniature off road vehicles! That looks sweet.

Nice super

 

[Rock Taco]

Thanks! I have some parts for a 2.2 as well. Maybe I will pull them out and start that again.

My goodness, are those tubes actually welded?

 

[Coco]

I want to know what scale that is, but wow that looks awesome!
