Gaz! Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Enjoy it for what it is mate, not really worth spending too much on personally. A guy bought one to come out with us, he snapped the propshafts like twigs..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 There you go then mate, as long as it keeps a smile on your face then it's all good I do like the shell though, one of the best looking crawler shells..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobisox2 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Whats the best option for the rear wheel steering have all wheels turn at the same time or separate? If separate how would I do that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodore Bagwell Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I have just bought a crawler with very similar tread pattern and found they have far better traction if you reverse the wheels.....Right side over to left side and vice versa. Rear wheel steering is a bonus but till you beef things up,it will just mean twice the breakages.

bobisox2 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 I order some new tires let's see how there are beefed up my shocks for better ones and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodore Bagwell Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 It's the area where the axles meet the wheels you need to beef up with metal hub carriers and lock outs. You will need to take measurements so that you use the best fit.As I doubt they will make them for your specific car. ebay item # 111108704790 and 111108705026 and 321722824534 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
