Here is my clod I've been busy building new servo mounts, suspension arms and ladder bars. Not finished but here are some prelim pics..
Hope you like em
PS the little thing hanging off the front beam is a 4 white led high intensity spot light I built for night running

Thats looking great. The cantilever system your using definetly looks like an interesting idea. How well does it work?

I am REALLY liking that trick custom chassis, looks like one heck of a monster! Does it perform as well as it looks? If so it must be an outstanding crawler!

GREAT job on it Rainclod!

Thanks Thorbob coming from you that means alot. Really you build some really beautiful trucks.
It handles pretty well but with 4wheels steering it is twitchy. I only get about 10 inches of travel but I wanted it for bashing not hardcore crawling although skids are the front and rear. I have cracked too many gearcases in the past. I'm running fat brushed kyosho14x2's that just scream( for me anyways) , but the suspension is working great though I need to put a swaybar in somewhere. I made a 7 cell 5100 nicad(dcell) pack i use it for bashing and crawling the weight gives unbeleivable traction. The best part is these bats are way better than any sanyo they have very low internal resistance so they can give huge amounts of current. It takes a long time to run down a 5100 as well.
