[@Bucky5068]

Im getting an Ivan Stewart vibe off of it. I dig it!

[@Organized-_-Chaos]

You make me think I'd Ave with how you film and how your so particular with information and how you think things through

[@user-ho5vm9rv1e]

Man oh man that white looks soooo good yet so simple

[@jasonevans333]

Nice build! Performed awesome! I would be happy with that rig all day!

[@themountain59]

The rig is looking great...white is the perfect choice...mullets are easy to set up and perform.👌

[@Driver86421]

Nice clean look with the paintjob. Gotta be happy with the way it's working now. Well done, Mr. McClure.

[@jimbocreationsbu8203]

the simple white with min stickers is actually nice

[@me-rn7jx]

I think the best tucked or whatever they call it body is the coyote grande from proline! Gives a more scale look still.

[@ryanalbert5576]

Thanks!

[@JT-np1op]

I just built an LCG girder chassis with element ifs2 front end, vanq rock jock rear axle, gspeed v4 trans and od tcase. Pulled 64.9 degrees on the grip tape board.

[@nicholasstephey8475]

Dammit. Now I need to go back to my mullet build and finish it.

[@TheOtherSock-728]

Howdy!

[@LumpkinMumfins1]

Weekly dumb idea: set up a rig to run with the chassis backwards, e.g. skid-rearward/long end of the chassis forward so that the steer axle is farther from the skid. Idea inspired by my brother who just bought a used Rock Pirates Interceptor build from a dude who had it all backward, and your comment about this rig’s descending ability. Could be MADNESS. 😂

[@tonygregg6957]

I've put a reverse cut gear in the rear (boom racing) and dressed the axle housing. This is proof of concept and I'll get the alloy housing which comes machined for a flipped locker. I also ended up messing around for ages with front links and had to use a cut to length driveshaft for clearance. Love to see these tinkering videos and appreciate the time it takes. Looks like it's running well. A mullet MTB is 29 front 27.5 rear, that might be my next experiment. 2.2 tusk front and 1.9 rear.

[@Camocrawler2868]

The zrd mullet boat is a beast! Enjoyed watching him do the thing on the rocks.

[@3sbrc]

It did all the things so well! What a performer!

[@NTX_RC]

Crazy to see volume 40.

[@crawlercityrc]

morning😊

[@ShoddyRC]

I love a good canyon change video!

[@RiceCrisp320]

I was thinking the front dif flip wasn't possible👌

[@simonkubacki9823]

I have an “element” based eBay carbon chassis 4WS truck that has taken me a month of mods on top of mods to get rid of interference and clearance. The last thing that I need to do is the laid down shocks which interfere which interfere with the element behind the axel steering links. Thumbs up, fun videos I try to keep up with your content, keep it up.

[@JohnCammarota]

Looks great and performance looks as good.. nice job with Zoku chassis. Would this now be considered a Zullet. Or ZRDullet

[@JPWirt]

All the pinched bodies look like boats to me, but that is certainly the "boatiest". Incredible performance though. I'll be building my own mullet later this year after all my Crawlapalooza trucks are done.

[@twilliamrc4wd]

You can get a 60 tooth spur gear should fit that's just slow it down a lot

[@MrBowser2012]

That’s sharp!

[@ryanalbert5576]

So was I! Nice!

[@LumpkinMumfins1]

Could name it ‘Nilla or ‘Nilla Wafer. Like a ‘Nilla Wafer, it does the thing REALLY well, even if it doesn’t necessarily catch your eye sitting on the shelf next to Oreos. 🤷‍♂️😂

[@Bonitacreekrc]

I saw on injora the d90 gear boxes for a 10ll and tamiya semi. 1:1 gearbox. Alot like your gender changer but enclosed in an aluminum case

[@Tyrells_Tiny_Trucks]

17:23 We disagreed about this in the comments a long while ago and its always bugged me. I maintain that your flex measurement on opposite corners SHOULD measure the same (assuming same axles widths, tire squish, etc). And that's for 3 link or 4. It's the same articulation measured either way. You could hold opposite corners up, then rock it to where either touches the table and the truck's parts haven't moved in relation to each other. So if the tires form a proper rectangle, the lift will measure the same. It's the same as a table or chair; when you rock it, either opposite corner lifts the same amount. There is no front vs rear flex, but there is front right vs front left, front left vs rear left, and so on.

[@JT-np1op]

Okay, you have a severe misunderstanding of geometry on a linked vehicle. Max articulation is the max height measurement achieved at the bottom or center hub of any wheel. There is no inherent symmetry front to rear. Youre erroneously imposing that ideal based on a lack of foundational knowledge on the subject of offroad suspension design

[@Tyrells_Tiny_Trucks]

​​​@@JT-np1op You're correct there's no symmetry front to rear. That's not what I'm saying at all. The point is that since we're referencing the table, not the skid/frame of the truck, and since the front and rear are both flexing to the max for the measurement, it'll be effectively the same at either corner. If we held the skid level to isolate the front or rear articulation and measured, it would be a different thing. With the way we're flexing the whole truck out, if the contact patches make a "square" and symmetrical shape, then the measurement of opposite corners should read the same. It's the same motion/articulation, just from a different reference point. The suspension is in the same relative position. Geometrically, it's the same angle of difference between two planes. If the triangles creating each plane are symmetrical across the shared line, you'll measure each of the non-plane points to be the same distance from the other plane.

[@Bonitacreekrc]

I think the front lift must come from the lack of front triangulation. Does a lack of triangulation cause the pivot point to not be in the center but at the extension side links while flexing. Like on the rear axle, the upper links attach close together and have a central piviot point. I hope I'm making any sense, I'm having a hard time explaining my thoughts in writing

[@ShoddyRC]

Since the front and back drivelines are spinning opposite, does any of the torque twist get cancelled out?

[@CrawlerCanyon]

Seems to at least a little. I don't think the geometry is spot on yet, but it's getting closer.

[@Tyrells_Tiny_Trucks]

Would changing the OD gears to 21% in the VFD not get you where you want to run a revrse cut in the rear? This is a WAY cooler solution anyway, just not sure if I'm missing something there.

[@CrawlerCanyon]

I don't know if this is a cooler solution, but it sure is the cheaper one. I think the Vanquish OD gears are like $50 a set.

[@Bonitacreekrc]

@CrawlerCanyon yeah, at that price,it's worth trying anything

[@Tyrells_Tiny_Trucks]

​@@CrawlerCanyon Holy cow! Yep, just looked 'em up and they're $51.99.

[@HVT03]

I hope he is not going to be called "One Point Five Millimeters", or at least give him an alias 🤣 Crawlimpics are going to be even more interesting if you keep building rigs that murder every line!

[@Bonitacreekrc]

first like

[@Bonitacreekrc]

in a bind,will the gender changer skip teeth

[@CrawlerCanyon]

Not a chance. They're 32-pitch 17T pinions, and the crossmember is made out of phenolic resin. I think the drive pins would likely snap first.

[@JT-np1op]

Those dumbo recievers are very ghetto. Thats why your servo wont center its throw. It doesn’t have a “brain.” Dumbo is okay but they dont have any intelligent centering. Spektrum has the same issue. Ldarc, traxxas, whoever makes vanquish radio, and kther brands have way better tech to center servos. On a dumbo if you change your trim it eats up your EPA, and it has no real access to EPA. So far for front steer, LDARC has the martest receivers, for centering steering, shift servos etc, you have full control down .01 decimal in epa trim rate everything

[@CrawlerCanyon]

I would pick a new hobby before I traded my RC6s in for LDARC CT01s.
