tracrawler 3d tractor time

[xjtorc]

Looks sick!

Does the rear suspension move smoothly and freely without shocks attached?

Maybe the printed cantilevers are binding something somewhere?

 

[CertifiedMike]

The rear suspension reminds me of my Blackfoot. Is it the shocks or the rest of the stuff that binds?

The tractor looks AWESOME!!! Nice job!!!

Its somewhere between Cox and Tamiya funky/crazy/badazz and I LOVE it!!!

I can't wait to print out the fast version!!
Meaning I'm gonna throw other motors and transmissions in and see if I can make a little ripper lol

If you make a fast version, it's going to need outriggers to keep from tipping over in your high speed turns!

I love that rig! First time I saw one it made me want a 3d printer

 

[majin]

we got 90% completion babay!!!!!!
motor installed, driveshaft installed, reciever installed, taking her for a rip around the yard once some glue sets ( you know me lol i HAD to add a driver)
I'm so stoked!!!!!
got her finished before btc so i get to break it on the trails!!!! unless someone sees it and offers me a nice trade lol

quickrun fusion pro for the win, it cleared up a lot of space by not having to have an esc.

gonna be pulling confetti from easter out of the carpet for months!!!


first impression is its LOOOONG, it crawls well, i really dig tf outta the cantilever suspension,, it looks freaking cool while it articulates.
the lack of a front bumper makes ascending obstacles super easy.
I'm kinda curious about upgrading, i like brass down low. the axles are scx10 ii axles so i gotta start looking for options soonish,I'm sure ill have to find a happy medium, i doubt the 3d printed rails are gonna be able to handle heavy weight like a standard chassis would/ but i think brass knuckles,
the problem is my axles say they are scx10 ii, but all of the other upgrade parts seem at first glance to be for straight axle ar 44's mine are portals,

 

[Doom!]

Too cool!

 

[WickedFog]

Very cool man! Are those shocks too short?

 

[xjtorc]

Man! that turned out so sick!

The front end shot with the portals hanging out looks TOUGH

 

[CertifiedMike]

I love the driver dude!

they are the recomended length, not a lot of clearance for longer shocks

took the tracrawler out for a rip yesterday, thought id try this dirt mound, stuff was waaaay too loose, the tires just kept digging trenches.

well the first attempt actually succeeded, but of course i wasn't recording. so i drove it back down and tried again this time on cam... fail fail fail lol

at one point i must have hit a rock i broke the rod end of one of the rear links. swapped it out for a different end, pretty good to go.

i dig the tractor, but for the abuse i put ym rucks thru this one doesn't really have a place. imo its certainly the coolest most UNIQUE of my trucks, but its just not there capability wise.

think this is my first shelf queen style vehicle.

You need bigger tires for that stuff. That's more rock bouncer terrain

I watched before reading. I thought I saw your rear axle wobbling a bit.
