@@bigdumbdad2226 thanks man! The wife has threatened to add some scale details but she hasn't done anything yet

@@jimbo4203 thanks Jimbo! It was a fun one to make!

@@bigdumbdad2226 yes sir I've got it working so I can see it on the screen, but I need to spend more to get it to record. You can't see much through the windshield, I dunno how worth it it is.

@@MysticRiverRC thanks man I appreciate that! It's a challenge to drive, it sidehills very crappily but climbs straight ledges like a beast, so it's a fun drive.

@@WOLFTRAXRC Lol!

@@bigdumbdad2226 I think I actually did the damage earlier in the run. With the front fully lowered the steering can bind up and I was pushing it on a tricky spot....it feels self inflicted.

@@bigdumbdad2226 heck yeah! Unfortunately I snapped an axle on the Slowrider. I tried to do it in 3 wheel drive but it would only cut to the side...

@@Cletusl3ocephus you broke a Meus axle shaft? Nice!

@@bigdumbdad2226 yeah man that rig is especially good at breaking shit! I haven't had one problem with a servo like I expected...

@@gadsdenflyer7353 yes sir they are the dj crawler pins. I'm super happy with them, they perform well on hard and soft surfaces, they are an awesome large tire. They come with a hard inner foam and a soft outer foam, in the rear I'm running full foams. In the front I'm running just the hard foam and then I've got them filled past halfway with bb's. I thought it would make them always want to push instead of turn, and it does, but not nearly as much as I thought it would. Yeah man I really like these tires, would recommend.

@@Cletusl3ocephus Welp... I guess I'm gonna have to check them out as well. Right now I have more tire sets than rigs, but I do have two rig projects going and I'm undecided on tires for either. I think I saw somewhere that these things multiple... like gremlins only with rocks. Thanks brother!

@@gadsdenflyer7353 yeah I'm about to embark on a new build pretty soon. I'm trying to emotionally prepare my wife for the coming drain on the bank account...

@@Cletusl3ocephus 🤣

@@MysticRiverRC thanks!

@@bigdumbdad2226 Thanks! Yeah man I love it too!

@@rockwolfdesigns6384 Thanks much!

@@bigdumbdad2226 thanks man! Some videos turn out better than others, I think this one's pretty good!

@@bigdumbdad2226 Come on down to Texas brother, you're welcome anytime!

@@mnutt113 Thanks Mason! You're awesome!

That's right! Brushed rigs can do good things too!

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Thanks man! She's fine, it's a Toyota, they are well built

Thanks man! I had everything I needed to fix it except for a spare red led

Thanks much, I appreciate it!

Thanks bruh! You're freaking awesome btw!

K bye!

Yeah, I add a little bit every time I get on it, over time it turns into something

Thanks man, I'm happy the course is becoming more drivable

Thanks dude, it's a fun ride for sure!

Thanks Rabbit! I've got to repaint this this every couple of months...

It's coming along....I need to work on making it easier

Thanks a bunch!

No I'm not much of a guitar player. My musical taste has always been eclectic and weird, but as I get older I find myself listening to more bluesy music

It'll get better with time. Once some rain cleans it off it'll be better. I think

That's the problem with these aftermarket parts, they are run by mom and pops and rarely keep stock on the best items. With Akers it's just a dude and his wife, he does work projects for a few weeks and then does crawler stuff for a week or two. He had the chassis in stock but it was a month before he had more links....I was considering the killr for my next build!

Oh, yeah they are from lgrp...swamper, super swampers, something like that. This was the third set I tried when I built this, I am a fan of these tires! They are grippy on loose surfaces as well as rock, I'm pleased

Woohoo!

That's an awesome quote! Thanks, I've stripped out one of the holes on the front axle housing. I've got a spare I just need to get to rebuilding that axle.

I'm glad you like it Mrs Rabbit! On this one I used a "stock" brass axle for the front and a truly stock one in the rear. On another rig I've used the Meus isometric (sp?) axles and they are top notch. You certainly won't be going wrong with those X15s though, I'm considering them for my next build.

​@@Cletusl3ocephus nice, yeah the x15 are simply super solid, this will be more of a 1/18 scale so i want tough axles. We will see, not sure on all the components. Just looked at Akers website again, damn they have some cool stuff! The links look a bit rough-cut unfinished, but they look like they'd work great.

Damn, I'm sorry to bug you, but that skid, where is that from? It looks smoothe! Very smooth and flush with the belly. The one on the website is different. They are out of carbon fiber, and only have aluminum and titanium. Titanium is better, but a pita to modify because it's so tough.

@@MrsRabbit8 Not bugging at all! It's an ogrc flatskid from Amazon. I'm not great at build videos, I should have talked about the flow. The flat skid together with the front diff skid and the hind skid really let it slide over the rocks, which is essential because I have it tightly limited to stay low. The diff skids come from 3flow9rc and I highly recommend them! He also sells those nifty roller bearing steering links.

@@Cletusl3ocephus awesome! Thank you, i thought that was it. Also, i bought a bearing steering arm recently, very cool! Okay, my build is coming together! I'm ordering the parts soon; -Akers Titanium Comp Gecko Chassis -52mm Nexx adjustable oil shocks -carbon shock towers to be mounted on angle off of the built in chassis towers to give upright shock angle and low ride height. (I just like more upright) -X15 nylon, with brass wideners, and brass here and there. -Furitek esc & motor -3flow9 parts -ogrc skid -gladiator length high clearance links -CCxRC Pine Tree tire inserts -LGRP x-factor Yota body (chopped off bed) -and a servo (must have wire out the rear, no stupid side wires) I'm gonna have to build it slow, I'm not rich. Lol

Thanks so much, you're too kind! And thanks for subbing!

Thanks dad!

You have a video for a look under that hood? I'll check.

​@@MrsRabbit8Thanks so much! I don't have a build video for it but I should. I'll make one here in a day or two ..

Thanks buddy!

🤘

Hey thanks, that's very kind! I made a build video if you want more info ua-cam.com/video/-neVNaBsaGI/v-deo.htmlsi=pu9TaksdcfMYcdi3

Thank you kindly!

Yeah my lights are more decorative than useful. The other option is to build more rigs, have them parked all along the course.

I can't even put up the top!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks dude!

Aw thanks so much! I spend a lot of time wading through non copyrighted jingles to find something interesting, good to know it's appreciated!

@@Cletusl3ocephus dude, it's massively appreciated. Seriously, i have blocked channels who use the same song for every short. Beautiful Things by Benson Boone... hey not a bad song the first 100 times you hear it... how many crawler channels use it? At some point i said "One more damn channel makes me listen to that song, their blocked!" LOL

No Beautiful Things, noted!

Thanks man!
