I should have made a vid of my TXT during the short month or two I had it, but I don't think we had our camera yet.

If you are still intrested. You should look at the SW2 chassis from Bender. It uses slider shafts from a Emaxx, a stampede transmission, and TLT axles. You end up with a really nice 1:10 scale truck that is really capible of crawling and looking nice. Go to www.thecrawlerstore.com to check it out.

As for a controller I have a stock Traxxas TQ3 from a Emaxx. I changed the wiring inside the controller so that the red toggle switch works as a on/off switch and sent the power to two pots I mounted at the top of the controller. One is used for end point so the servo doesn't get to much power. The other is used as a independent rear "steering wheel". It is by far the best "bang-for-buck" crawler controller.

I seen a maxx crawler that was tight looking. I can not find the site no more. Can some one point me to a maxx conversion kit. I like to convert a emaxx to a crawler.

I've never seen a kit for the maxx axles,just home builts,any TXT chassis will take the tranny with the mounting plates.

I've got some ideas in mind for this chassis as a shaftyhttp://www.junfac.com/conversion_r1.htm

Would it by any chance be the one that RcBro did?

Here's my crawler

coolhandcountry · 05.27.2006, 08:03 PM

Cool. I like that. How does it do rc brother? I seen you was building one on your forum. I hadn't been back to see if you finished.

Rcbros · 05.27.2006, 08:11 PM

I'm waiting on some new shock mounts that connect on the links then I'll be able to know for sure.

With crawlers the links and suspension are everything and they keep sliding so I can't do much till my mounts arrive.

Seems like plenty of power but I still may get another motor just for added power. Articulation may be to much but its hard to say until I get my mounts.

I'll have some video when its done.

coolhandcountry · 05.27.2006, 08:28 PM

Cool on the video. Well I thought about if you have to. You can put some of the hb truggy diffs in it for really make it crawl. But not sure how you would hook the slider up to it. What all do you have in yours motor wise and stuff?

that is a sweet looking crawler

coolhandcountry · 01.10.2007, 11:17 AM

I know it has been a while since started the thread.
I broke down and bought me a shafty.
I got a txt coming to me now.
Thanks for recommendations.

Can't wait to see it CHC! You are getting some projects going now huh?

coolhandcountry · 01.10.2007, 02:08 PM

I am hoping to get a few projects going.
I need to get back up to three running rcs again.

neweuser · 01.10.2007, 02:28 PM

that would be cool. What happened to your bike?

coolhandcountry · 01.10.2007, 02:37 PM

I still ride when can. Rain and cold weather suck on bike.
Gets dark early to. I get back into it more when can.
I will get some pics up soon. I just wondering on motor and stuff now
for it. It won't be an all out crawler. So I am not sure what to go with.
I was thinking maybe a mambamax 4600 on 2s lipo.
