monsterpede360

Hey there guys I am working on a project on my Stampede. It has 4 link suspension on it and i am putting maxx tires and rims. So when I get farther along in my project I will have pictures. But I am still working on it. I am planning it on being done nexy week?

can pedes be 4-wheel drive? if not, then no offense, but whats the point? and if they can be 4-wheel drive, then cool hehe

pinkfloydman

yeah well crawl whatcha got seems to fit in here

monsterpede360

Yeah I thought instead of putting 4wd in I will put a diff locker in the rear end so i wont have to spend 200 bucks for another front end.

My Feedback: (4)

i think its an nteresting idea dont get me wrong, im just curious on the use. crawlers are generally 4wd with both axels locked. a 2wd vehicle is going to have saverely limited abilies. is would be interesting if you could customize the front to work 4wd.

monsterpede360

Nope i want to keep it 2wd and also i am ordering a clod buster kit.

pinkfloydman

oh well why spend time on this??? just make it a basher and build up your clod

well if nothing else, youll prolly be one of the only people with one hehe. so i guess thats somehting to say. but to be fare, tis is a crawler thread, and no 2wd truck, regarless of what suspension, axel, or what ever else is ever gonna be able to even compete with a midiocre 4wd truck.

pinkfloydman

yup my zip zaip monster truck is 4 wheel drive, can it compete with that lil curtis???

2WD CRAWLER=CRAP 4WD CRAWLER=awesome

monsterpede360

No a 4wd drive crwler with not diff lock crap- 2wd with diff locker awsome!!!

shortbusjeep

no you need 4 wheel drive so the front wheel will pull them selfs up the rcok and the rear wheels push it frward


you neeed 4 wheel drive

dude if you plan on running a locked diff in a stampded and crawl it you are in for a suprise. I just ran my locked 2wd stampede and it couldn't even go over 4 in rocks!

monsterpede360

Well i ran mine today in a bolder pile and it did fine!

daveyboy426

Well can it climb stairs or steep inclines? It problay can't because in ain't 4WD!!!

pinkfloydman

yes weve been ovewr this, now i want to see some pics of your 4 link on this haha

i have a 4 linked pede and its 4wd.[8D] it used to be 2wd did'nt work with 4 link. i add another gear, all i can say its a crawler.[>:] im just waiting for you to post your pics. when? []so i can post mine. [8D]

I am curious to see pictures also!! Not to be rude or anything, but they are right. Theres a few main problems with 2 wheel drive, even with the diffs locked. 1)on steep inclines the truck will be more prone to backwards rollovers 2)you wont be able to pull yourself up onto what your climbing, you'll just be pushing your front end in to it 3) SO much less traction. If you want to put your time and effort in to a crawler, wait till you get your clod. (or if you already have it, just build that up. much more worth it)

Rc Fanatics

how do you post the pics? this project took me 20 hours. its fun to build something thats works.

thumpin15s

click "post reply" and there is a link under the text box that says "click here to upload!" click that.

Rc Fanatics

thanks , i will make a new post.

pinkfloydman

yeah i think he lied to all of use, because still NO PICS!!! terrible just terrible

I have a one link twin detonator that I haven't been able to post pics of(I'm about though too) And I've probably put 60+ hours into it because of all the design changes.

monsterpede360

Well I stop the 4-link, and I but a double a-arm converstion kit on it. so it sits * inchs under the chassis so its a monster. I promise I will have pics on this weekend. Trust me yall will like this one!!!!
