Crawler Canyon Presents: ICFTW Vol.2, Part 3: in which I make things work, and say "wow" too much

Only three episodes to make the thing run? Crazy. Unbelievable. I'm probably going to have to tear the entire thing apart more than once to get it working correctly-- and looking halfway decent-- but it's a process. Definitely further along than I was yesterday.
You can make a drinking game of it by taking a drink whenever I radically contradict myself, which happens like 5-6 times per video at the very least. I don't plan ahead or write things down. It's the best and the worst.

Very entertaining series! Pretty soon you'll be selling frame rails to the public

[@Brian_Mowry__BMOW71]

Entertaining and fun to watch. Great job on the progress so far. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@roberthoney1377]

Very very good I'm looking forward to sharing your experiences on my attempt at frame rails thank you for your videos

[@mickd8188]

Doing great work bud... be worth trying to bring rear upper links down at the front pivot if possible to improve the rear bite or a link riser at the rear axle. But that said, I have found that works on longer, not shorter rear links as you have. It's always fun to watch you figure it all out, so look forward to next instalment. Cheers mate 👍 Edit.... l forgot Wow !

cool build and nice crawling

My Samix shock hoops are lettered and I oriented them that allows shocks too lay forward or back depending on front or rear. Front orientation: B = driver side A = passenger side Rear Orientation A= driver side B = passenger side Hope that helps! Superb job! 👍

Loving this series man. The stability and composure of this frame is worlds apart from the original rails. One idea on your driveshafts if you care to center them in their travel, you could switch the front to the rear and rear to front because that's what you did with the links.👍 If you need ideas for body mounts on custom frames, check out Team KNK "Aluminum Body Mounts Natural Version 2" and the G-Speed "G-2S two screw body post holders" for inspiration. I have no doubt you could make your own version of those and I'd bet they'll get the body in very nearly the same spot because of how the body posts are on the shock hoops already

I love you. Never change.

The body rub is probably because your lower, proformence looks exceptional better, I'm watching a older vid on computer & current on my phone & it looks great good work! Descending & uphill massive improvement 🤟 loud music 🤙🤜🤛 👍!

[@bespincustompropsbombarta8300]

Looking at you're rear mounts the body mount sits to the front of the tower. Switch it to the other side and it will move the body back, couldn't tell if the front are the same or not.

Just think, the last video u was thinking it was sitting to low. I thought it looked good sitting low with those wheels and body. That thing would look good set up like a belly dragger! Which for some reason that's what I thought u was going for by making ur own chassis. But cool either way 👍

[@Crawlerworkz2023]

Rock on bud 💪

[@brianargo1659]

I think u have created a Rock Monster🤣👍

[@andrewjahnke1071]
