So I am continuing my custom work on my wheely king, and it is getting further and further from stock. I've done my first irreversible change, and changed the setup of the transmission and motor mount. I used a cuttoff wheel to shave off some mounting brackets, in order to rotate the motor 90 degrees. I've made a template out of cardboard, it seems to work well, the "footprint" is much narrower and the center of gravity will be perfect. I'm now looking at getting my lower aluminum links bent with a 30 degree bend to help with ground clearance. I am having so much work experimenting and building this crawler, It is a long way from where I began.
On another note, I'm trying to find deals on ebay for a used Traxxas Stampede XL-5 for hopefully a great deal, so that I can have some birthday money left over for possibly more crawler mods. I know what your thinking, my birthday is not for another 1.5 months but for Nat and I we usually can't wait, "thats just how we ro''. ........"yeah!"......haha
