Joywrex's Creeper Build (First RC ever)

[joywrex]

I actually had an extra so I put it in. I heard Creeperbob makes titanium versions...
It turns out the pin that is in the wheel hex also snapped.:shock: Where do I get me one of those?

I also need the a pin that is in the end of the dogbone...

I always took my broken ones an welded them for the strongest cheapest rear straight axles you can run! Then you can use the good CVD axle out of the rear, up front.. :thumbup:

I made a jig out of 1" angle. Spaced using a good CVD. Then welding it together.

 

[joywrex]

Wow nice. No welder tho.

 

[winnerone23]

No know anybody?

I'm surprised I didn't break anything on this flip:

I got an XR10! Check it out in my signature. I'm keeping the creeper though. It's a tank!

I realized I had a drift wheel I wasn't using so I put it on my flysky gt3b.

What battery and radio did you use for your creeper? Just bought this yesterday for 150 and all I lack is the battery and a radio. I need to find some that won't break my bank. Venom Rc Rock Crawler

 

[joywrex]

Just get a 800mah 3s lipo battery if the esc can handle 3s. That'll fit on the front well. I like the flysky gt3b remote because hacking that thing is a hobby in itself.

That looks awesome.. I'm in the process of building one for my gf.. Can't wait to finish it

 

[joywrex]

Thanks. I really like the comp shafty feeling when driving. I guess everyone else is over it...let me know if you need any parts. I have Some axles and stuff...

 

[ratterd]

Do you have any XVD's laying around?

 

[joywrex]

Do you have any XVD's laying around?

Haha sorry. That's the only part I don't have.

 

[meatmonkey]

I like your straight axle jig.

I'm gonna have to due that because I broke a LF CV ball. I now know to clearance the slots in the ball before installing the replacement CVD.

Im not over the Comp Shafty...I am building a new one with my newly designed linkless chassis...just wont be with Creeper axles...I hate the fact that Venom and Atomik kicked us all in the stones by dropping the Creeper...but I wasnt gonna be forced to spend late nights scouring the interwebs looking for parts in the end. Now, with that being said, before I sold all of my Creeper stuff I probably could have run it for another 10 years on my parts hold alone but just didnt wanna be the only one in the wonder years.
