That is one of the most capable rigs I have seen, I really wish it was possible to just buy and build this from a list because I would be all over that. You did an incredible job on that rig and aslo way to drop some of that wisdom on us, mad respect.
Honestly this is one of the coolest things I've seen. My family and I do alot of rock crawling and technical trail riding here in the Appalachian mountains but it's an expensive hobby when things break. This seems like an interesting way to get some of the thrill with less cost. Thanks for the video and happy crawling!
Tonitrus Deus glad you enjoyed it. The guy operating the crawler is a master. He flies helicopters too. Upside down, blades 6 inches off the ground kind of stuff. It’s a fun hobby.
Watched this for the first time after uploading from my iPhone. There's a lot of really great information packed into this video. And the crawler is freaking cool.
Tom Glander hey those weighted beadlock tires what are they called? I'd like to het some. And you should put more weight on front to help you not roll head over heel when going up steep inclines. Nice rig though!!
To answer the guys question on the video Comp crawling lost its popularity too the scale/crawler/trailing world. Axial scx10II,RC4WD Trail finder 2 etc
One of the best rock crawlers I've ever seen, if you wanna proper rock crawler this is the one to get, thanks for sharing the video clip really enjoyed watching it thank you :-).
:-), thanks a lot, to be honest I am not that clued up on rock crawlers but I can see what you have is a very good RC, it looks very well made & I can see a lot of time/effort & engineering has gone into making a RC rock crawler that dose the job of crawling over rocks very very well.my be buy next year I might be able to get my self a XR10 Mantis RC.
@@TomGlander I also run a twin stick setup but I took my radio apart and made the parts to make the throttle side return. I went with an Enroute Berg for my build platform and its similar, just the axle tubes are left stock. Check out my crawler video it's short but shows my car.
This is because I'm using helicopter radio. The trick to finding center is years of helicopter flying. When flying a helicopter in 3d the center of the stick is zero pitch. Its important to find this center when flying or some of the "stunts" might not work properly. If you don't find center quickly you can't drive all that well either so it comes in handy.
Tom Glander you can use a sanwa mt4 radio system, so you can switch between the front- and rear motor... take a look to my moa crawler, my rig crawls like a insect and has 4 shocks😂😂
it's not custom lol. it's more like aftermarket. I like how ppl think something is custom when it is produced by a manufacturer in plant. CUSTOM is when when u build or have something built that is one of kind and no one has it at all. this is the Billet Works Design Mantis chassis. I have two of them. so no they r not custom by any means. you have to do your own CUSTOMIZATION.
you need much more weights on the front axle, i drive with 150 g on each side, also 300g on the front axle☝️ check out my moa and you will see what i mean🖖
So, all of this is common. Are you suggestiong to your audience that you FABRICATED all of these parts? If ao, BS. You might be able to pass this off on non-hobbiests. You can buy a bully 2 moa kit tomorrow that will smoke this "amazing" machine. Give me a break. Dont believe this bs, folks. Easy as hell to build and parts everywhere.
@@Sarah-hp2ty just saying you can do this for cheap and HAVE LOTS OF FUN. I love rockcrawling. you don't need a 700 doller truck. but it sure is a good looking rig.

Thanks! My buddy Shannon built this. He's a bit of a mechanical maniac. No plans available, all done from his head. He's truly genius level.
That ground clearance it's crazy you can put a beer can under that. 🤙🏻🔥😎🔥👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Billet Works Designs is still making these chassis and many others. with a lot more to come. Like a super comp crawler chassis. I cant wait for that.

Thanks for sharing, I watched this 3 times and I really want to do my own build now.
Really glad it helped. Shannon knows his stuff for sure.

Great climbing skills and it looks amazing.
Great job!
omgf that is an amazing crawler, excellent driving skills too
Sir can it can climb a stairs but such. a awesome work
Apparao Guntu yep it can climb stairs.
@@TomGlander thanks sir tell us how you made
Wow that's absolutely amazing let me know when you make a full size one. That would be amazing.

MrMichaelpaul45 that’s a Shanimal creation. No other crawler like it. Thanks for the comment. You obviously know your crawlers!

Totally Remarkable Crawler!!!!
awesome crawler
I hve no words ..killer car damn
What is his electric setup? And how does he lock the rear/front with the switch(is it something like override when...... or something?)
Woww... spettacolare... ciao dall'Italia
thanks for sharing
Ant trying to knock your rig its nice but I would add more weight to your front and get more aggressive tires
Now THATS a crawler, no scx10 fan girls here!
Saludos tu coche es increible, Donde puedo comprar coches asi. Gracias.
how did you come up with the link geometry in the rear?
That's a question for the maker of this rig. I'll ask him and post back here after he answers.
Nice Radio
Let's build a full size one for real
awesome
Super jealous of not owning one yet, had a few in time add got best of me sold chassis.. Regrets regrets
I haven't seen anything on the market that can do this!!!
Marshal Palmer it’s a dying art form.
RC4WD Bully 2 is as close as you can get in stock form.
Where is this? Looks like fun crawling!

подскажите где можно купить такую раму и колеса?
tell me where i can buy a frame and wheels?
how much would this cost ?
Sora [PMA] well over a thousand dollars.
oh damn x~x
Wow, awesome! How do you lock the rear wheels? Is the magic in the transmitter?
The motors are independently operated by the transmitter. So, yes, the magic is in that device and the separate motors. Thanks for the question! :-)
And how did you achieve that the throttle is holding (no self-centering by spring), but you can do forward/reverse, AND find the zero point fast?
This is because I'm using helicopter radio. The trick to finding center is years of helicopter flying. When flying a helicopter in 3d the center of the stick is zero pitch. Its important to find this center when flying or some of the "stunts" might not work properly. If you don't find center quickly you can't drive all that well either so it comes in handy.

hello vehicle manufactures....!!!, Please make this vehicle drivable full size. We call this man an "ENGINEER".
Yea, really. Full size! I'd like that.
sure it can climb on Mount Everest
weird looking but super cool
NASA should hire you to bring corrections on their pathfinder and others vehicle they sent to mars. I am serious
The Mantis frame was one of the best on the market. To bad they quit selling it.
Chris turner the mantis was and is out of date and it sucked
I need your skill bro :)
I need a price boi
And yes you can still by them. Hell you can buy 100 of them if you want lol. they dont care. just more money for them.

lol so much money and it still doesn't flex right. don't be fooled.. you can do everybit of this with a cheap Madtorque 180 bucs
Flex is not every thing, an yes you may be able to do alot with a cheap Mad Torque but not nearly as much as this thing
