Project RockEater TXT-1

[MT Dude]

Hey all,

Like the title states, I am starting a rockcrawler project from a TXT-1. I am planning to make this thing HUGE and unstoppable. I'll be posting pics as I progress along with the build-up. The following is somewhat of an idea of what Im planning to do:

-use all aluminum parts for beefyness
-lock diffs of course
-use JUMBO KONG tires and aluminum wheels
-new era skids
-custom chassis
-1/4 scale servos (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLN93&P=ML)
-emaxx tranny
-permax 600 motors (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEXU3&P=7)
-super chicken
-clod buster battery (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJZ87&P=7)
-jeep body

you get the idea... big, powerful, and unique

anyway, this is the start so far:

Keep us updated..
Sounds like a plan.. :cool:

Tho I must say that the MAJORITY of the Monster trucks mentioned in this forum is usually the (T-Maxx/MGT/Savage/Genesis/LST/Mad Force/Revo/ and so on and so forth..) you get the picture but its nice to see an electric monster Truck other than an E-Maxx from time to time on here.

Good pic of truck.

Yea after I saw one crawl I had to have one. I'm using the same axles as you but a e-max tranny. Have you been to RCcrawler.com yet. Thats a great source of info.

I've been neglecting this project, but I just found more parts so I'll be back on it again.

still in progress obviously..
