*Finally Got my Mini Crawler Done*
« on: 09/28/06 - 07:24PM »
Well after almost 6 months of trying to get this thing done I finally got it working and working well. I have more money in this thing then I have in my front Dana 44. Which was only 100 bucks. :agree: I'll just tell you a little about it first. You can't buy these things. They don't make RC Rock Crawler kits. So everything as to be taken from other RC's or hand made. Here is the low down on it.

Here is a build up Slide Show of it. Pretty neat little video really.

Now if anyone is interested in one of these. My dad and I build these little chassis's and I can paint them.  Chassis start at $100. Painted bodies start at $45. We sell 2.2 Bead Locks, 1/10 Scale RTI Ramps, TLT Alloy Knuckles, Tube Chassis, Painted bodies, Custom made Stickers, and few other odds and ends. PM me if you are wanting one.

Just giving you a heads up on the FJ40 bodies. They don't make them anymore. They are going for 60-80 bucks on E-Bay.  For just the chassis $110....That comes with blank shock mounts and link mounts. I figured I could save myself time and my customers money if they just drilled there own holes for link and shocks.

Here is a teaser action video of mine.

Great job you guys.  That thing is sweet.  I want one but will have to wait till I get done revamping the big rig for next season and see what funds are left.
