WOW :eek: :cool: :eek: :cool: that is crazy nuts. i don't think any independent suspension MT can tackle that kind of rock crawling. i'm sure you have locked diffs on both of those.
i want a monster truck that can jump, is really stable, has massive articulation, can rock crawl, and is nitro... LOL, all of which is probably NOT possible in one truck. i know nitros generally don't make good crawlers. heheh
come on people, post more rock crawler pics, they're so coooool :cool: :cool:

I was stationed in Korea when I bought the TXT. It wasn't available in the states yet...I built it, drove it, ripped it apart and put an E-Maxx tranny in it the first 24hrs I owned it.
Now there's companies selling conversion kits for it. Go figure.
Other than the E tranny, I'm running a 72 tooth spur gear (T-Maxx spur), 8 tooth pinions, locked front and rear diffs, E-Maxx driveshafts, Traxxas Big Bore shocks, and a Super Rooster with stock 540's.
The ESP clod is running E-Maxx Titan motors on 7.2V with a Super Rooster and stock pinions. Front and rear diffs are locked and the truck has 4 wheel steering.

do you get very good control with both the front and rear diff locked? im just looking to making a truck the best i can for crawling, and having as much fun as possible. project t win: both of your trucks are awesome, i hope i can have a truck with as much articulation as yours, thanks for your pictures, ther're really good
