Originally built by Badd on RCCrawler, then sold, then sold again to my buddy emaxxjeremy.

While in Florida for the Top Gun Invitational I made my way to Jeremy's place to help him with brazing and metal work. Made new shock hoops, front tube fenders, put a dent in his beer supply, and admired his really cool urinal...which, apparently in Florida, even though it's at knee height, is known as a sink. :confused: (No, I didn't pee in his sink :D )

Anyway, tried getting this rig from him while in Florida...didn't work.

So I got it when he came to town this past weekend.

Specs:

Steel ladder chassis and cage
turned down tlt shocks
Hi-lift leafs at each corner
Hi-lift axles
RPM Revolvers wrapped with Masher 2Ks
Stampede tranny
55 turn lathe
Moped
TowerPro steering and winch servos
2S Apogee 2100mAh Li-Po


Changes are already in progress. :cool:

Here's a before shot...

Here's the first change - ditched the pede tranny and lathe motor then installed a R2 with Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster 3014. :cool: A Quark ProCar 33 will control it. Don't want to always hear the squeal of the Mambas. The Quark is nice and quiet.

Another advantage to the smaller R2 tranny is that now a proper 1:10 scale interior can go into the thing...not the 1:18 scale seats that were in it before.

Will probably catch flack for this, but this is mild compared to what this thing will go through in the rebuild.

Light bar is now gone.

At this point you have one of two options:
