What do you guys think? How does it look? Im still waiting on my servos an a few misc items. Novak Super Duty esc w/ fan, 55 turn lathe motors, Locked Clod axles. Custom tube chassis. I want beadlocks but I am unsure what size the Clod rims are. 1.9 ? Any feedback is welcomed

Did you do the chassis yourself? I have been wanting to make one that has that similar shape for a while now.

AWN - Na I had a buddy do it for me. He already had a jig made and I dont have the time to build one so I did some trading for it. If you want one I can see if he will make more, but Im not sure what he'll charge. Its like 90 bucks just for the tubing and brazing rods. He uses the high dollar stainless tubing from Heintz Performance and silver brazing rods.

Im glad you guys like it. I dont know what to do for shocks tho. Its got stock emaxx shocks on it now. I also got some MG hobbico 196 oz/in servos on the way. Hope its enough for those big tires. LOL. Are those tires too big? there the only ones that I could find to fit clod rims. I got some adapters coming for maxx wheels. That will make it wider. But what should I do for rims and tires. I want beadlocks so any suggestions on Wheels, Tires and Shocks I can get will be greatly appreciated.

I would think that integy's new msr8 would be pretty nice for what your doing.

out of all the "Extreme" crawlers i have seen, i have to give you the big two thumbs up on this one. I like the look much better than the pim cane crawlers, as this looks like something you would actually see in the unlimited class at crawler events for the full size rigs. Your buddy has a nice chasis there, and you put together a great looking rig.

Servo might not be big enough for crawling on the rocks. Give it a shot and see, then let us know.

Thanks, those are Imex Clod Swamp Dawgs or something like that. There the same as my jumbo maxxs tho. They just fit a clod rim. I am going to sell them b/c I think Im gonna go with 40series beadlocks and MOABs. I just gotta find some adapters first.
