My Rock Crawler...***56K warning***

[kingcobra]

I'm kinda hesitant on posting this here because it's not 100% scale...I narrowed the axles a bit but didn't want to overdo it and lose stability. if this doesn't belong here please delete it. thanks for looking.

What is that on the rear axle, that looks like the power steering/hydraulics on a 1:1 crawler?

[kingcobra]

I don't run servo savers so those are my steering dampers. one on front and rear.

[Jugg2Driver]

WOW! Awesome truck! Nice use of the Twin Force!

[Quentin]

First the camaro and now this, awesome crawler, very impressive!

[Rikpal]

I know that rig from RCC I love it man.
Weel done :nice:

[kingcobra]

thanks guys...I'm soon to buy a new TLT kit to start a more scale project... :chug:

[offroaderforlife]

sweet truck :nice:

[Spoon37]

sweet!! :chug:

good use of the Twin force.... :chug: I like the steering damper I used to run something like that on a juggernaut(I removed it after mounting the servo behind the axle as there wasnt room), it worked pretty well it made the steering feel pretty solid even when using a fairly weak servo....

:banana:

[Rock*Hound*Clod]

man thats is pretty darn close to scale if ive ever seen a crawler like yours lol :blink: nice job man :chug: <-- my treat :lol:

[pinkfloydman]

pretty nice, but did you REALLY drive into all of those positions.......

[kingcobra]

of course not. :blink: but they still look cool

[pinkfloydman]

yes they look grat, but i bet with a little bigger tire it will look scale and lok like the tires belong

[LastClodStanding]

:blink: man you have some real skill when it comes to making these works of art. Nice use of the twins axles and looks to be a really capable rig, and the steering is slick.

"Wow very very nicely built!" :nice: Love it, fits together so sweetly. I think the tires look ok on it. Steering damper very cool! Oh really great shots but how about making them a little smaller so I don't have to scroll across the page to view it all as I am lazy but would still like to see all of it at once. :lol:

[Rikpal]

Oh and the next time don't dare to hesitate to post pics of this kind :lol:

:banana:

[kingcobra]

awsome, thanks for all of the kind replies guys...it's nice to finally find a forum where people aren't afraid to compliment someone else's work. I have some more projects I have been working on that I will be posting very soon.

[Spoon37]

you mean you've been to RC zone forums? the one place where no matter what you post someones bound to come along and say "thats s**t get a savage, mine rocks!" or similar :lol:

:banana:

[kingcobra]

that would be EVERY rc related forum except this one. thats why I'm so glad to be a part of this one. I have even seen mods at other forums taking part in this practice. thats just rediculous. sorry to wander off topic. but this place is great! :nice:

[Spoon37]

why thank you! :chug:

:banana:

[Rikpal]

Thanks ;)

[LastClodStanding]

No...I said a large fry, pie and a coffee..... oh yah sorry, thanks for the complement on the forum. We here arent scared to give someone a big head for good work. I mean look at Rik and Matt. :lol:

[Spoon37]

great pic!! :nice:

thats would be a good one if you were thinking of entering our next pictures contest(held every 3 months)..

:banana:

[1BadJeepBruiser]

looks awesome dude! i liek it alot, i like those wheels too... who makes those??? i think it looks scale for sure looks liek a real jeep that had dana 44 scout axles swapped into it ;). the camaro is just awesome too. o and by the way where did you get that front bumper??? i work in a byke store and it looks like a derailer guard for a mountain byke, i was installing one today and it made me think if i just bent it up a lil it would make a awesome bumper.

very sweet
mike

[kingcobra]

the wheels are duratrax rims and proline masher 2000's...the bumper is made out of a piece of 1/4" 304 stainless steel that I bent in a shop vise...thansk for the compliments. :chug:

[Pro-4x4]

That is one sweet truck KC, it just looks the part and with your little steering damper on their makes it look a tough competitor! :banana:

[Rikpal]

Love the last pic man :nice:
