My HL is basically stock save the 55t. I got the main leaf and the short leaf for the pack up front and the main leaf, long leaf, and short leaf for the rear packs. The diffs are locked. Stuck in second gear as i dont have a 4ch right now and im thinking of ditching the 3spd for a pede, who needs 3 gears?!? Ill be bringing this to the dec. 2nd comp.







Sorry for the poor quality, im not sure where the digi cam is. :(

how much do you want for that trans ?

looks good, now me you and '85 have to team up on the old folks, thank god your only a year older than me

I dont know how much, id trade it for a pede trans and axles for it and axles...

nice! ive been wanting to see one in person. any future plans for it?

Pede trans, that's about it so far.

Well, looks like im dropping the 3sdp and going to run a pede, thanks Eric!

"Do you have a website that just needs the proper logo, or maybe even just a good banner to go with it. Maybe you just need some graphics to help start up that business of your. If so, you have come to the right place. Please, visit my previous works page and inquire about what you need."

ohh, i thought he desighned stuff like chassis and stuff

Im a graphic designer.

I also paint. See?


^My old crawler body.

ive seen that body on RCC.

i posted it there when i had it.

how dare you but that body on a crawler, lol j/k i may ask you to paint a body for me, for a price that is, i dont want to have a hand out

that body was the reason i decided on the c-10. awesome work! is the copper a custom color?

Custom colour. It was Martin Senour HS Gold with 4 or 5 more grams of pearl than asked. Well see about me painting body for you, cheap price too, i like doin' it.

its amazing what young people can do, "uhm" Travis, and all you old guys

Yeah, im only 16.

im only 15, so maybe us young ones, can show them how to crawl, well maybe not the SA guys, they are the kings of crawling

Got the pede in and mounted. Had to drill two holes in the chassis, run a bolt and nut through the chassis and trans to mount it. Had to also adapt a stock yoke to maxx shaft so fit and not bind. I havnt tested it as im waiting to cut the big plastic thing that hold the body and elects in place. Ill post pix here in a few minutes.

Pix as promised:


Holy driveshaft angles batman right?

looks good, now just 4-link it, and youl cave a crawler, not a crasher LOL

i like this version..

Im going to flatbed it and make it a very capable tow rig. I might 4link the back to help the drive shaft angle some. I think ill leave it all sprung. Ive an ide for a flat bed, brake tubing all around it and vertically arounf the back of the cab. Run flat aluminum for the actual bed of it. Make a hitch for a trailer... Next weekend i suppose.

sounds great!!

Well, the 4ch will be here any minute now.... So, i guess ill put it to use.

you got to lower that tranny. just notch the top of the channel like i talked about.
its a win win situation, less drive angle and lower CoG

I can't lower it witout cuttin out a section of frame on the other side.

do it!

Then whats gonna hold the frame together?

I would make that custom skid like in the link.

Im not talented enough to do that. Im a painter, not a fabricator.

where do you live? i could make it up for ya. i wanna see that thing run to its full potential!

I live in Hutto. Right off 79.

how far are you from killeen? exit 292 on I-35?

Im like 1.5hrs or 2 hours away from killeen.

damn

Yeah, damn.
