Venom Creeper Picture Thread

Venom Creeper Crawler

My first car since Tamiya Holiday buggy :)

Venom Creeper
Novak Rooster Crawler + Fifty Five (combo)
2.4Ghz Radio (tested with Esky 4channel to my helicopter but I intend to use my DX7 and AR6100 (6 channel rx) and trick it with remote lock diffs and steering front and back
I soldered an Y-cable that allows me to connect 2 LIPO'S at the time
2S 900Mah is what I have around...so 1800Mah will do for now - but I have already planned in adding a 3rd connector
I flipped lower "Z-bend" links to allow more clearance

Some tweaks after videos

Moved rear supports in front of axle and removed skid (but put the supports back after deanodizing)

Added weight to wheels
I used 1.5 mm solder and cut it to 1meter lengths, 4 in each tire front and 2 in rear tires (1.5mm solder weights 9gram/meter)

199-207grams stock wheels

259/251grams after in front wheels
229/230 grams after in rear wheels

I will buy 1meter aluminium rods and make some links myself...to allow BTA (behind the axle steering)


Cheers - UndCon

Updated the Creeper with a new vinyl warp.

I had a friend make up a vinyl wrap for the Creeper, with the sickest camo pattern.... Ohh Yea:twisted:"thumbsup", turned out too sweet and just in time for the indoor comp series as well.

My Venom Crawler, virgin clean

Been working on the Venom project for the past 2 months, finally got the paint on the body. Next step is to do some crawling outside... The virgin needs to be broke in.
