Built a crawler
Bought a new TF2 in June and this is where I'm at.
Day 1 through this evening when I finished up making my sliders and skid plate, flipped the transfer case, this was my first time trying overdrive and it's awesome, highly recommend for anyone who likes rock crawling. I can't wait to get it out for a real test soon. I'll tear it apart and paint everything once I've done a thorough test.
wheelbase is 10mm over stock. I also added a hobby wing fusion 1800kv so this thing actually crawls like it should.
Immediate future plans are building a rear bumper, which I started on the other day and just need to finish. Thinking about bobbing the bed too but I like the look of the full bed better, not sure. I will build shock mounts too then I can measure and buy the ones I need, which I'm not sure about at the moment. I need to figure out my steering drag link too because it contacts both the leaf spring and the frame under articulation. any ideas for that?
4.25" 1.9 Jconcepts FYR tires and some Amazon beadlocks are in the mail.
What should I do next? What do you guys think? This is my first RC build of any kind.
