Rock Crawler
Hey everyone! I've been out of the game for a long time now, but getting back into it. Not really sure what happened to the hobby as a whole, it seems like it's died off a bit. But I see some familiar names are still posting here. Nothing I could find on social media really is similar to what this place offered, as far as community, knowledge, support, and general fun. It's good to see this place still around.
A few weeks ago I started playing in Fusion again, and picked back up on a project I've wanted to do for a while. Life got in the way a couple times, moves for work, etc. My building skills were also limited as far as scratch building bodies and stuff was concerned. So to help myself a bit, I picked up a fairly large 3d printer, got it working well and dove into the project.
This build will be more trail focused. There's not too much for rocks around me, so no need for something to be excessively capable. To make my life easy/keep the rig fairly low maintenance, I am throwing some nice parts under it that should be plenty strong.
Plans are as follows;
SSDlux axles
SSDlux Nod2 trans
Dravtech shocks
Hobbywing AXE 2300kv motor and esc
12" wheelbase
4.75" tires
And current pics of the CAD work. Please note, the cage is super rough, but I wanted to start to visualize it. I don't like the current rear shocks mounts and will be integrating them into the cage.
