Ya i have the same problem with my XB-E,haha! Thank god for T-Bone Racing bumpers and skids, they are money savers. But ya, the crawlers are a little more broken parts friendly i'm finding.

Looks good, ive been trying to get that body for my Mt. Been losing bid on ebay for the last two weeks.

 

[jcross007]

that crawler is huge man considering it's 1/8

how does it actually crawl,is it one of those super slow crawlers or does it have a bit of speed for getting from one spot to another?

 

[jcross007]

It crawls really great. i've never had another crawler besides this one so i can't really compare. With the Rampage MT body mounted it added some top weight to the loose suspension. So i adjusted the shocks as tight as they go and added some spring spacers from a Traxxas big bore shock. It still flexes fully and keeps the body from rolling over. I built it for my son and he loves it! I've had great response to the paint job as well. The truck is on vancouverhobbies.com as their pic for the Redcat Crawlers section. Also i have a couple videos on youtube, here's the link.

Yes i agree, it flies! Now with the Slash tires on it i can clear some bigger obstacles and it handles much better too, lots of fun on the backyard track!
