At some point you're going to have to host a crawler event. The Ecto looked pretty good on there. Not diggin those tires though. They seem rather slippery.

i tried a thing today, it LOOKS cool in my opinion, and is functional for fun stuff, but not for anything ;ong term or any actual crawling.
i made some el cheapo duallies out of some stock rims i had,
they were plastic and i ate the hex on one of them, stripped it smooth so it just spun on the wheel, then i thought. if only that was on the outside not being used it could loAttach filesok hells cool,
so i zip tied them together......
the wheel on the axle has a hes so it seats securely, then i just zip tied the bad wheel on the outside.
pfft it sorta works.
been watching videops pn hopw to use all thread to make dualies tho.. think i may try that out soon

I was gonna say, you can use aluminum standoffs too. Mango on here did that with his FMS Smasher a while back. But I don't know how well that would hold up long term on a 1/10 crawler. It may end up damaging your axle.

Sometimes experimenting is fun.

The guy in that video must work for Arrma, because that was a ridiculuos amount of loctite. And I've never torked a bolt that tight on an rc.

got 2 new toys on the way for the old man to play with,
for some reason the steering links werent available on amazon so i went to the website, shipping from china so wont have the links for a week or so

got the treal diff cover in today, weighed in at 83g instead of the advertised 84! i am shattered that 1 missing gram was the most important one o noooooo
lol the factory plastic housing weighs 6.3 so a pretty hefty upgrade to the lower end
looks good on it
i also trimmed the tread on the hyrax tires i have on the front.
they seemed to slide over the things i wanted it to grab onto so now hoefully it will bite and pull over. if not i have another set of them so can go back to normal if it hiders performance.
