Glad to see another mt, with those tires you'll probably start breaking gears. Check out this link, it's what i'm planning to do. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/enroute-berg/423895-new-gearbox-gear-options.html

Looking good so far.

Good to see these MT builds pop up. You might want to limit the articulation to about a tire of flex. Any more and you can flex into stuff you cant drive out of.

Thanks for the advice guys!

When you getting back? We'll have to meet up and do some crawling.

 

[armymech]

This where I bought mine. If 12" is not big enough you can select another size. This .125 thk. I bought my link material on E-Bay. do search for Delrin rods. I used 3/8" DIA. Some company out of LA sells in 12 packs 12" long. Acetal is the name. Delrin is the maker.

Oh, Yeah the bumpers just get in the way. Take one those thin throw-a-way cutting boards and cut some pieces that will wrap around your motors and snap tie them on. The motors will slide right over rocks with ease. Move your upper links to the out side of your chassis. Get more triangulation. So for your on the right track with your build.
