MOA crawler build.

[>BD]

I have started to build a new crawler. This one will be pretty big. This is something that I am going to slowly peice together.

2.6 inch Clodbuster tires.

XR10 chassis with Wraith links for longer wheelbase.

That is going to be huge but should be an awesome project.

It's going to be a slow build because some of the parts are kind of expensive. My 1st thing to do is completely build-up the chassis, which I have ordered chassis parts for.

Very cool.

It will be worth it. What kind of power plant you plan to use?

I'm just gonna use a stock to Tamiya Clodbuster ESC and 2 45 turn motors.

It is definitely not gonna be an extreme super class vehicle.

It is mainly going to be somewhere between one of those and a 1/10 scale crawler. Is it will definitely be longer than the standard comp caller as I am using Wraith specific links, which are longer than the XR10 ones, which the stock XR10 is standard comp crawler length.

Awesome build!

The picture in the post is definitely not mine. I do think it is a really awesome build though.

At the moment it looks like an anodized octopus! You totally need to name this project the Kraken!

 

[Kimmie28]

I agree I was thinking the same thing just couldn't think of the actual name........ too many other things to worry about at the moment

I decided to throw the straight links on the bottom and I will put some longer straight links on the top of the chassis, above the shocks due to the axle layout.

Not really RC4WD King shocks.

We've gone from Kraken, to jumping spider! Lookin' good!

 

[Greywolf74]

Looking good indeed! I am no good at builds like that, I wish I was

When I started RC, I started on crawlers like that. I had a Losi Night Crawler RTR that I modded a bunch.

 

[Doom!]

I don't know how so few parts could look so complicated?

Here is the final form of the chassis and suspension.
