Your crawler has a very good flex ..

Now, you must change your motors, and perhaps install a 4th gear ?[8D]

Could someone tell me what pitch has to do with describing a pinion? Also, what size is the shaft of the motor on the stock NB rockcrawler motors? I am looking on ebay for 8 tooth pinions and they all have different pitch and shaft size. What pitch and size should I be looking to get for my new bright?

texx

I advise you to go to the hobby store, with your motor and pinion 10 tooth ..

....... and ask that you find two 8 tooth pinion ..

If you have with you ,the two 4 th gear, they will find two 8-tooth pinion, which mate with the two 4 th gears ..

You can also just make the installation of two 8 tooth pinions, they will give more strength to your crawler ..

I was very lucky to find this war tank used ($ 6.00), with two 34x10 and two motor 280.

I do not recall if the two 8 tooth pinions, came from that war-tank .. []

texx

This small addition, it gives a very good look ..

It begins to resemble YELLOW-CRAWLER .. Just an idea ..

Keep up the good work ..[sm=thumbup.gif]

nbcrawler

thanks.

how did you make the hard top for the yellow crawler?

and what did you use to take the stickers off? i used goof off and it started to remove the paint also...

nbcrawler

HERES AN UPDATE..

THINKING ABOUT PAINTING IT. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

HERE IT IS.

texx

On YELLOW-CRAWLER, everything that appears on the yellow paint has been painted with a small brush ..



For the hard top, I lowered the windshield, and I built the hard top, with plastic (DVD COVER) ..





The roll cage inside, is made with thick, plastic hangers .. [sm=thumbup.gif]

When I need a sticker, I cut from magazines, and I stick with glue made for plastic (below and above) ....



...or, I stick to real sticker ..

My crawler BLACK FLY .. before YELLOW-CRAWLER ...
