Thanks bruh! You're freaking awesome btw!

K bye!

Yeah, I add a little bit every time I get on it, over time it turns into something

Thanks man, I'm happy the course is becoming more drivable

Thanks dude, it's a fun ride for sure!

Thanks Rabbit! I've got to repaint this this every couple of months...

It's coming along....I need to work on making it easier

Thanks a bunch!

No I'm not much of a guitar player. My musical taste has always been eclectic and weird, but as I get older I find myself listening to more bluesy music

It'll get better with time. Once some rain cleans it off it'll be better. I think

That's the problem with these aftermarket parts, they are run by mom and pops and rarely keep stock on the best items. With Akers it's just a dude and his wife, he does work projects for a few weeks and then does crawler stuff for a week or two. He had the chassis in stock but it was a month before he had more links....I was considering the killr for my next build!

Oh, yeah they are from lgrp...swamper, super swampers, something like that. This was the third set I tried when I built this, I am a fan of these tires! They are grippy on loose surfaces as well as rock, I'm pleased

Woohoo!

That's an awesome quote! Thanks, I've stripped out one of the holes on the front axle housing. I've got a spare I just need to get to rebuilding that axle.

I'm glad you like it Mrs Rabbit! On this one I used a "stock" brass axle for the front and a truly stock one in the rear. On another rig I've used the Meus isometric (sp?) axles and they are top notch. You certainly won't be going wrong with those X15s though, I'm considering them for my next build.

​@@Cletusl3ocephus nice, yeah the x15 are simply super solid, this will be more of a 1/18 scale so i want tough axles. We will see, not sure on all the components. Just looked at Akers website again, damn they have some cool stuff! The links look a bit rough-cut unfinished, but they look like they'd work great.

Damn, I'm sorry to bug you, but that skid, where is that from? It looks smoothe! Very smooth and flush with the belly. The one on the website is different. They are out of carbon fiber, and only have aluminum and titanium. Titanium is better, but a pita to modify because it's so tough.

@@MrsRabbit8 Not bugging at all! It's an ogrc flatskid from Amazon. I'm not great at build videos, I should have talked about the flow. The flat skid together with the front diff skid and the hind skid really let it slide over the rocks, which is essential because I have it tightly limited to stay low. The diff skids come from 3flow9rc and I highly recommend them! He also sells those nifty roller bearing steering links.

@@Cletusl3ocephus awesome! Thank you, i thought that was it. Also, i bought a bearing steering arm recently, very cool! Okay, my build is coming together! I'm ordering the parts soon; -Akers Titanium Comp Gecko Chassis -52mm Nexx adjustable oil shocks -carbon shock towers to be mounted on angle off of the built in chassis towers to give upright shock angle and low ride height. (I just like more upright) -X15 nylon, with brass wideners, and brass here and there. -Furitek esc & motor -3flow9 parts -ogrc skid -gladiator length high clearance links -CCxRC Pine Tree tire inserts -LGRP x-factor Yota body (chopped off bed) -and a servo (must have wire out the rear, no stupid side wires) I'm gonna have to build it slow, I'm not rich. Lol

Thanks so much, you're too kind! And thanks for subbing!

Thanks dad!

You have a video for a look under that hood? I'll check.

​@@MrsRabbit8Thanks so much! I don't have a build video for it but I should. I'll make one here in a day or two ..

Thanks buddy!

🤘

Hey thanks, that's very kind! I made a build video if you want more info kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9SVibGSp9nFd30.htmlsi=pu9TaksdcfMYcdi3

Thank you kindly!

Yeah my lights are more decorative than useful. The other option is to build more rigs, have them parked all along the course.

I can't even put up the top!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks dude!

Aw thanks so much! I spend a lot of time wading through non copyrighted jingles to find something interesting, good to know it's appreciated!

@@Cletusl3ocephus dude, it's massively appreciated. Seriously, i have blocked channels who use the same song for every short. Beautiful Things by Benson Boone... hey not a bad song the first 100 times you hear it... how many crawler channels use it? At some point i said "One more damn channel makes me listen to that song, their blocked!" LOL

No Beautiful Things, noted!

Thanks man!

Thanks!

Thanks dude! I was surprised it all fit in there so nicely...

At the end of the day I'd have to say it's an overall negative in terms of performance. It adds so much weight up high it's hard to compensate for it even with being able to move weight around. But it's also 100% badass and is a hoot to drive. It's not bad, it's just so much easier to flip than my other crawlers.

@@Cletusl3ocephus right on, yeah i could imagine that. When designing my system (which was never realized), i came across the same problem. Trying to limit weight i could use one strong servo and choose "lean forward or lean back" OR "side to side". Ehh. It's just cool to see this done, total props man. Cheers!

Thanks 👍

Hey man, I just made a little controller/build video that'll tell you all about it... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9SVibGSp9nFd30.htmlsi=tfMFIOrpla1VFNNk

More servos! We've been married for 15 years and have 3 kids, she should be used to nerd marriage by now.

@@Cletusl3ocephus my wife and I have been together for 30, married for 25 and I don't surprise her at all with my goofy hobbies or shenanigans. I'm pretty sure she likes me anyway!

​@@bigdumbdad2226That's a damn good life!

Thanks man that's very kind!

Yeah I've made a couple of minor tweaks but it's more just getting used to driving it

It changes the whole game bro!

Thanks amigo! It certainly takes practice, there's a huge difference between my first Slowrider video to this one...

Well hey there buddy! Thank you!

@@Cletusl3ocephus I also love the heat seeking winch hook. Quite entertaining and creative. Keep up the great work Brother.

Thanks much! It's a 1969 Plymouth GTX

Hey thanks man! I dunno, this one sure is blowing up. I just started trying to really promote my KZfaq a month or two ago and the new rig is doing a hell of a job of getting some attention. You're right, I should do a build video, I'm saving it for a rainy day project.

@@Cletusl3ocephus for sure. i think a video like that could do really well.

Mabel says "woof!"

Thanks 👍

Thanks man!
