Good morning Joe from England sir. Well this TRUCK is definitely getting there after a few tweaks it's going to be a great crawler. Have a great weekend SIR 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼🤙🏼
Hey love the new build man can't wait to see what you're able to make of it. would love to see a video explaining the thought process of running your portal in the back and a straight axle in the front really a unique idea and truck has a killer stance to it it seems to be fairly planted.I can definitely see a lot of potential. Cheers from northern Kentucky
I built this chassis a few months back. Didn't go with that trans because of the reviews. I went with the Amazon dig trans and a Vader flat skid. Biggest suggestion I could make is sand the corners down on the belly. It's an odd ball, but man does it climb.
I am currently running the injora lcg chassis on capra axles , very similar layout , forward transmission . Managed 1st place in class 2 at the UK nationals with it. The injora comes link kit but no transmission
Here's a name idea. 'Stein' It's short of Frankenstein which is a bit what this build is , a bit of this, a bob of that, and the word Stein literally means 'rock' in German😉 Anyway cool build, and may the torque be with you
Joe you think the Baja pro X with printed inserts would be good for crawling? I remember they crushed the ramp test in the big tire shootout you did not too long ago, and that was using stock foams (if I remember correctly)
Had that frame build for a friend...kinda pain and the geometry is ...hmm...lets say strange. He sold the frame/gearbox after his first comp and got one of my frames 😄

It really looks good , and performs even better, I want one
Never had a crawler before but I am seriously considering building one after watching this video!
Element Ecto is a great RTR or the Axial Base Camp or Traxxas Trx4. Trail running is so nice and relaxing compared to bashing.

I did the sanding on my belly as well.

what Transmission are you using for that?
Procrawler grind 431 transmission.
I got the same chassis with a 3 gear with dig and I’m running trx4 axles.
I’m also running the proline cliffhanger body

If u double bend the rear links it should have a ton of clearance.
...Ya, but sometimes it is better to have that "slide-up" effect, bringing up the rear-end & weight !!
👌
Some folks just have to much time on there hands ,,, evidently ? 🤣, I really like the low rider effect on that thing, keep up the good work !
Thanks 👍
Shocks?? What are where please? 😊 👍
My back up c2 truck runs 62%overdrive didn't know it had that much when I bought it but love that it dus have that much
They sell this with links and everything. Been thinking of pulling the trigger on the full kit
Don't 😏
thats the fimonda ( aliexpress) V1 lcg chassis
Very nice 👌
After 4 years of 1/24 i would really like a 1/10 but cant find anything i like. Would love to throw sth. like this together on a budget.

Brilliant video mate nice 👍👌

Power cab body!
Whats your reasoning that some overdrive is to much for the trails but ok for comp ? Are you having issues just regular trail crawling with od ?
The silver surfer
I'd sneak a zip tie on the esc to help hold it
Seems like forever since you have been on the Exoplex rocks
Nice...
👍🏾
What size are the dravs joe? Mediums or shorts?
👍😁
What weight does it have?
The frame weights 59 gram
It needs some brass for sure if you aren’t making it a 4lb cheater rig with ruptures lol
