Project Rockcrawler!
#1
Well it ain't much but here's the start of the tube chassis for my rockcrawler, I got a lot more tube to be added but ran out of tubing at work last night!Confusedmash: So a trip to Napa Thursday to get more tubing is in order. I'll keep updating this as I go with it! LMK what ya'll think? The more I sit here and look at this cage it looks a whole lot like a dang Sprint car cage! Idea Hey why not I could build an 1/8th scale sprint car too! God I gotta quit listening to these voice's in my headConfusedmash:

Tamiya has Jugg 2 axle up grades for 20 bucks!!!!
http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.ph...t-id=93020
They come almost complete. Axle shafts and a few other things needed thats all! I should have mine tuesday!:joy:

I'm just saying cause I have been looking for these for a long, long time and a little jacked up on coffee!

The Mad Force axles should work out well with this build, can't wait to see more!

Well I scrapped the other cage idea for a crawler, i'll use that one for another project!:crazy: Here's the new cage I threw together this weekend, this one looks more like a real tuber so far! Most likely i'm gonna use an e-maxx trans with the mad-force axles now! If anyone has any spare Revo driveshafts they're not gonna use lmk cause i'll need them for this project! LMK what ya'll think of this one! I'm hoping to have the cage done by next weekend!Big Grin :joy:
