[imsofly74]

how muc did it cost

[newbcrwlr76]

sexy crawler??? c'mon man are you for real , you sound like a chick , are you ? haha cool truck though

[bdaddy23]

no I changed it no more sexy haha.

But yeah this video of mine is old and lame haha

I dont even have this crawler together anymore. its all turned into my Land Rover 3

[STdemoniac]

great job mate

[islandminisunlimited]

That is a very sexy crawler..

[cdawgydawg73]

about how much did that rockcrawler cost u

[stevensx14]

its nice but i hzve a question, ive only used fast cars but i just built my first crawler, when i put the integy 55 in it sounds like its grinding gears or something, i took the motor out and the motor still made the noise, is it just because its a sllower motor? or is it not supposed to

[bdaddy23]

hmm it should not make that noise.

maybe take it apart and check to make sure everything is ok?

or take it back and exchange it for another one.

[sdwilliams777]

Very nice truck, but if u do comps go with the rear straight axle setup. Less play, more predictable movement. Also, the Rock Lizard tires are trash!

[sdwilliams777]

PS im not tryin to be a jerk, these upgrades are seriously worth it!

[bdaddy23]

i know all of that.

I actualy do not compete and I no longer have this RC together. I changed it into my LR3 land rover scaler!

[nickhpiracing]

nice vid

[vip22892]

what do you reccomend sidewinder or rooster? let me know plz thanks

[bdaddy23]

Castle Creations sidewinder all the way. hands down. best product.

[vip22892]

cool but i heard that there was a problem with running the sidewinder in that if you didnt have a good top notch motor the drag break would not work or at least not as good i have the 55t integy and i see you do too so how is your experiance with that? another thing is does it have a manuel setup or do you need 100% the castle link for pc? let me know and thanks for the reply

[bdaddy23]

yeah I am using a 55t brushed motor but want to switch to a Holmes Hobbies 1000kv brushless then i can use the brushless feature. the 55t integy works good but does not hold on steep hills, it also has a manual setup but the castle link is better.

[vip22892]

alright thanks a bunch man, you been a lot of help and by the way your vids are awesome and you have some of the best scale rigs ive seen i love your LR3 that thing looks sick did u use the new bright LR3 body or custom? but thanks again

[bdaddy23]

thanks bro,

yeah it was the new bright body I custome added all them LED's what a PITA! haha

[vip22892]

haha you welcome well at least in the end you got a badass result haha i also like that silverado u had haha

[codebmx14]

what kinda lights are u using?

[skl1cent]

hey very nice crawler and very nice design love the design. hey wat motor do you use? i plan to get a crawler style motor to power the tipping on a dump truck im making.

[bdaddy23]

55t integy

[marchalfeight]

tcs edge are ok but check out death metal garage illuminati pro

[bdaddy23]

yeah just saw it on your videos.

and it looks ok.

I dont really like either. I Sold my TCS Edge haha. I am into scale rock crawling now. :o)

[XmodKing666]

sick dude

[JasloMilwaukee]

dude that thing IS sexy :)

[bobmeuncle]

thats awsom how long it take to make

[aclark092]

This is a TCS Crawlers Edge chassis. You can buy them, right now they are sale. I am thinking of getting one too. They are really sweet

[offroad460zz]

sweet ride man

[rulof87]

i take ispiration from you!!!!!

i add a video....

[bdaddy23]

Your video is ok, but you know you can just buy that chassis I have and it is made out of metal and not plastic PVC?

Also that idea for your tires how does that work? It looks like they will just fall off the side. Nothing holding them on secure.??

If you want some real spikes, just put some tacs through the tire from the inside. Or some screws. that would be good for ICE as well.

[rulof87]

I know that I can buy it...

but I imagine that is too much heavy in metal.

the wheels with more grip in the photographies seem the are falling but are good attacked with metallic hooks .

thanks of the answer..

[cobra523601]

i just purchased an edge chassis for my axial and saw your vid what rate springs are you running and what weight oil are you using. I am trying to take some of the guess work out of dialing in the suspension due to my daily crawling habit and i am not looking for any down time with the crawler, if you could help it would be appreciated thanks man

[NeXt559]

really nice.

i was thinking about goin w/ a tuber body but have you noticed if it raises ur center of gravity?

[bdaddy23]

yeah it raised the COG a bit but it is worth it. I mean It is a scale truck now and on it's way to becoming even more scale so it can crawl GREAT but not as well as a crawler. So it has a very low center of gravity but yes the body does at to the top weight as a real trucks body would.

[derrickl112]

did you make the roof panel? or does it come in the panel kit?

[bdaddy23]

I made it out of some scrap metal with holes in it. They where some old computer drive bay covers. Thanks for your inquiry, Just use your imagination. :O)

[bdaddy23]

O and no they didnt comve with the kit... All the pannels on my truck where hand made using aluminum for the hood and sides. The panels that you can buy from TCS that go with the chassis are ok. They are clear flexible plexi glass like stuff. you can apply any decals you wanted on them. I chose to make mine out of metal and paint them. it is all personal choice. But like I said.

go wild with the imagination haah! have a good one

[lsubeaux]

help me out i just got one.. how do u stretch the suspension

[yomomma369]

alright cool

and is that a rcp tuber chassis?

[bdaddy23]

No it is from the crawler store. it is called Edge chassis. Really good deal!

[yomomma369]

ah

yeah i got my tuber all taced up, im gonna get those internal springs and it will be done, what did you use for lights?

[bdaddy23]

those where lights i made using valve stem covers (bullet type aluminum) from Auto Zone. I drilled 2 holes one for a screw and the other for the LED wires to go through. Then just dug up some old computers at my work and removed the LED lens. but I am sure you can make something else just as cool

[yomomma369]

thats a great idea

yeah i got my suspension all done today, all i have to do is make the mounts,weld it all up then it will be done!

[yomomma369]

so did you just take the coil springs off the shocks or what because i am currently building a tuber of my own and wanted to get some idea

[bdaddy23]

Hi Bud yeah I took the springs off the outside and put some internal springs on the inside under the piston and used the stock rubber part on the topof the piston inside the cap to set the ride hight.

Check out the crawler store for the internal springs.

[jcabane]

great work, very beautyfull, god job!

[tatemod8]
