CXT 6x6 Flat Bed Tow Rig

[jays68yak]

Well it runs now. I drove it for a bit. Then I broke it. Something about tac welds and curbs dont mix. Its way fun to drive cuz its so big. I think it needs locked diffs but that might change once I have a front axle working. I need to flip the front diff so that it spins the other way and I should be good to go. I forgot the camera so no pics. Maybe later this week.

Nope Ive been slacking. Working late some times, not staying to work on my junk, just being tired. I wanted to work on it this weekend but I went real wheeling instead. See http://youtube.com/watch?v=cgvX3JpI12g

I do need to get this done and my 3 crawlers back to working before I will let myself start the new 1.9 project.

Which time? When I ran it with Daniel or when I towed Ryan half way out? I dont think Jeremy got video in tank. I do have some from last year.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EruUV0Z_v0

So was that Daniel's Toyota that kept stalling and giving his arms a work out on, Rut, Bitch, Jungle?? (not sure which)

I saw that video though...

 

[jays68yak]

Yes. V notch. To the left of jungle. It has a lot of names. It was hell. Did you guys ever make it saturday when I left? It was dark by the time I left and you still were not back.

Well spent some time on it this week. Frame is all welded and painted. Got the axles apart today and finish welded and painted. Pretty much just need to put it together. Might do that tonight and take it out tomorrow and go crawling."thumbsup"

 

[jays68yak]

OK time for a good update. Its together and done for the most part. Spent till 1:30 am last night putting it all together. Took it out for its trial run today. Its way fun! Can you say donuts in a 6x6? 8)

I did end up frying one of my batteries. It was a 7 cell pack and the metal strip that went to the hump cell got a bit warm. :shock: Also bent a link when I landed on a rock. I was trying to crawl with it. :roll: Its open on all 3 axles so that didnt work too well.

Its way fast for what it is. I need to gear it down a bit so that everything isnt getting so hot and it runs a bit longer and better. I started walking away from the rover thats on the bed when we drag raced. And he has a brushless system in it.

Heres the video. I was too busy driving it to get any more.

And the bent link. Once I get them all adjusted correctly Ill go back and sleeve them.

nice rig, hows it crawl?

 

[jays68yak]

Its doesnt really crawl....But it can climb some good hills. Ill have to get better video next time it is out.

 

[ColquittCustom405]

Add some tanks and boxes on the rails that should make it look abit better.

 

[spookyseven]

I like it! Put a full body on it and call it the crawler limo..lol. Can you post a pic and some info of how you ran the power to the back sets of axles.

 

[navyeoseabee]
