Project Venom: Crawl Space's Wraith Poison Spyder Build

[Crawl Space]

Having issues with the internal beadlocks holding the BFG's + I think one beadlock screw is already stripping. :x This may take priority for the next upgrade.

I have a feeling that the next wave of upgrades are going to bring project venom to a whole new level 8)

stay tuned...

I know a guy who sells Motoworx Racing wheels... ;-)

 

[Crawl Space]

These look really nice. Good price too. "thumbsup" I'm considering many options at the moment ;-)

Well, I just got home from visiting the folks up in Santa Rosa. Made a few trips out to flatrock and put the rig to the test. I must say that I'm really, really happy with the the way it performed. 8) Didn't have time to shoot any video, but I might do that this week.

The AR60 universal axles and beef tubes made a remarkable difference in crawling ability; I was able to pick tighter lines, reversing less, and pull up easily in spots that I would just bounce around before. I also cut off the fenders as they were constantly hitting the wheels.

While I had a great time crawling, my motor didn't; the stock axial 20t got REALLY hot (almost burned my finger)! :shock:

I think my next move may be a MMP 1 cell, a holmes hobbies brushless outrunner, and eventually 32p robinson racing gears :mrgreen:
Either that, or I'll just commandeer the 35t torquemaster pro I bought for my LNC ;-)

 

[Crawl Space]

Project Venom is going brushless... 8)

 

[TheScaleAddict]

Outrunner? What motor is that?

 

[Crawl Space]

HH revolver s540. They're supposed to be efficient, low-maintenance, and have low operating-temperatures. "thumbsup" Not to mention, torquey as all get-out too. :twisted:
I'll likely be beefing up the drivetrain as I break things ;-)

Got some new shoes coming in the mail as well :mrgreen:

 

[Crawl Space]

Some goodies arrived in the mail today (no, not the beer) ;-)

More coming soon...

 

[TheScaleAddict]

The beer looks great. The wheel and tire does too. ;-)

It was a Kölsch - perfect end of summer/early autumn beer. I got an awesome wheels/tires/hubs deal from a member on the forum here that I couldn't pass up.

BTW, do you know the turn-around time for the custom bent links? Also, your site still shows the MMP I ordered as available! I know Monday was a holiday, just making sure it all went through ;-)

I'm not seeing it showing as available... Are you sure? It's all shipped already. You'll have it all this week.

 

[Crawl Space]

Awesome, thanks! Yeah, it's probably a weird shopping cart inventory thing - it seems to let me add multiples to my cart, though I have not tried to go to the check out stage.

Btw, I want to be the first to receive a shirt when you make them (I'm voting for black)

Very stoked on the OMF's - I think they work really well with the PSC color scheme.

Is there any other color???

 

[Crawl Space]

Yeah, it's gunmetal grey and the wheel nut (stock) is blue, so very subtle. It's hard to tell grey from silver in the pictures; it pops more in real life. Actually, almost all the graphics on the PSC are grey, which I only noticed after installing the wheels. I may eventually get blue front rings, but that's another $40 + shipping and not a priority. The more I look at it, the more I like it (opposite of buyer's remorse) :mrgreen:

Love the wheels!!! Those or the method wheels will be my next purchase!!!
Also like the driver/mechanic!:lmao:

Thanks! I was torn between the method and OMF - method is cheaper but OMF looks more badass. I was also considering the SLW v1 and v4 due to the .7" width.
Let me know what you go with "thumbsup"

 

[sic1to]

OMF's on the way!!! Got some backup for Sam also!!!8)

 

[Crawl Space]

Hells yeah! "thumbsup" What color(s)?

Oh, I see, he's gonna ride "shotgun" ;-)

BTW, how do you like those Rock Crushers?

 

[TheScaleAddict]

What's that you say, you need back up? I work alone... Plus, your tongue is pretty creepy.
