Got bit by a Tarantula

[Gramps]

After crawling with the Tarantula a couple of times I decided it need a better turning radius. When I built it I had to turn the endpoint down to keep the big tires from rubbing on the frame. I had 3mm hex extensions so I got some 6mm hex extensions. This allowed some more turing radius but at 100% the tires still rubbed on th frame real bad. Turned the endpoints down to around 83% and I think it will be ok. The turning radius sure seems better. I'll know for sure the next time I take it out.





Moved the 3mm hex extensions to the rear, it seems to handle pretty well with the front track a little wider than the rear

Took some video of the Tarantula's 1st run if anyone is interested.

Thanks JimrC I was very happy with the way it crawled. That was a new place I just found and it was also the 1st time I have crawled there. Need to take the Evo Pro there and see how it does.

Took the Tarantula & the CR18 Evo Pro for a little crawl yesterday. Can't say that one did better than the other I thought both crawled pretty good.
