this is annoying me now, that is not a serious crawler kit, you are not able to go out and buy a kit for an emaxx and make it a serious crawler, so stop being lazy and build it yourself, terrible...

Well, there are 1000 ways to build a crawler. Best bet is to look at a lot of chasis and I recomend lookin at videos not pictures! I could pretend that my mini t was a crawler in a pic!
Do a search on www.rcpics.net for "Mud Cow" or "JK" He has a great crawler...
and here is mine... [link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Another_Video_of_my_Clod%25%25%25_%3B%29_The_Resiv oir_With_my_new_55t%27s/m_2655567/tm.htm[/link]
Good luck with it! It's a blast! G.

hate to burst your bubble, but ive seen stock TXT's beat the crap out of "crawling" emaxxs, but i do have to say, emaxxs are fun, you go up to a rock and launch it off, and get up the pile 50 times faster, then fall all teh way down haha

Hey guys, I gotta give ya a thumbs up for making a crawler out a 'pepe or EMaxx. When you really think about it, 75% of all rock crawlers is usually a rolled 2wd Ford f150 that somebody made run with duct tape and baling wire. Actually I think it's more fun to go rock crawling in a two wheel drive just to see if I can do it.

One more thing, anybody who's willing to mod his vehicle for crawling, no matter what kind of vehicle it is, is welcome to pull up a chair and sit at my campfire and help themself to my cooler.

i used to before my old truck broke down and now that i bought a big silverado no way im gonna risk messing it up lol. anyone that knows rock crawling knows very few poeple actually use fords. their frames and engines generally cant stand up to the punishment. Jeep will always lead the 1:1 world.

while jeeps due rule it is only cause they are a great stock rig that can easy be modified yota rigs are offen also modified just not as cool as a jeep.
sbj
ps fords are cool they just dont make good crawlers not many full size rigs do but they will make good trail rigs

i have a friend juan who has a k-5 blazer or what used to be one turned in to a crawler does great just looses paint every once and a while. also depends on the trail
sbj
atvrider was it portal axles or dana 60's? and why a np205 the final ration on that is like 1.98 not good at all for crawling my stock jeep has like a 3.27 in it and with the one i jut goit off a rubicon it will be 4.10.

Rock crawler = Trailer Queen
4x4 = Drive it there & drive it back(unless you rolled it).
I agree that rock crawler tech is great for a trail rig, but real rock crawling is a short trail nowhere.
Find a long trail & go somewhere!
I do. Posi/posi, 4.56 and NOT stock axles.
Don't laugh [:@], it gets to the top with the Jeeps(they don't respect me).
