It's neat, but I wouldn't have much use for that....even though half of my co-workers think I'll buy one anyway. I'm still waiting for the damn second spool I ordered to come in so I can lock up my E-Revo on both ends and try crawling with that.








Yes, I know they're basicly the same truck:wave:

I do have this on order for my new comp rig

And plan on ordering the parts to convert my AX10 to this

and more or less make that look like an pre IFS full size work truck like this

I saw that a little while ago, if I can sneak it in, I plan on ordering one when I get my tax refund...I have no real use for a straight up crawler, everything around me is sand and dirt, but I would like to be able to crawl when I get the option.

that is siiiiiiiiiiick. i already have 2 revo's (only one runs) a Tmaxx (snaped in half) and a rusty(needs a tune up but still runs.) whats one more.

That vid on the traxxas site of it crawling is sick.....Its $500 though.I could do alot to the real thing(xj) with that much

I'd go with an Axial or a Venom Creeper 2.2 way before one of those piles... way cheaper and real solid axles. The venom has selectable lockers too for extra $$. Wheeling with that is like wheeling with a hummer with that IFS...

I've actually tried crawling my E-Revo, they aren't bad and do get some "flex" (unlike a Hummer/HUMVEE). My biggest problem was only having 1 spool instead of two, then sticking it in the back. I should have stuck it in the front so the front tires could drag the rest of the truck through the obstacles. I'm going to try again if I ever get that second spool in off back order:smsoap:
Here's a couple pictures of it on an ammo box, one of the box itself, and one of my solid axle rigs flexing on it.
