The flex on some of these is crazy.

I'm just getting my Clodcrawler finished. Its got a Gecko II chassis and can get a full 90 degrees of articulation. Actually, with the shocks mounted all the way in on the arms it'll get 90+ degrees.

I saw pics on a different forum of a Chassis with 180 degrees of flex, but I'm not sure that would do you any good. It did look cool though.

You can actually run a motor under water. I've seen arcing while trying to clean my motor once... Whole darn thing went up in a blaze!!! Fortunately, no damage... LOL...

For detail it looks great. I would like to see more shots of the chassis.

It is hard to tell if it is a model or a RC?

Its a custom Tamiya Bruiser with stretched chassis, custom drivelines, links, tranny, shock mounting brackets, etc. Cost over $3k. All the electronics are in the black box in the rear

WOW! That's a lot for one RC. I would not want to mess it up if I had that much invested. If you have more detailed shots of the chassis, I would like to see them. Love the detail.
