Project MOO Cow! You may or may not have seen my live build over on RCC.

http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97118

Anyway, here is how it all started about a year ago.

Stretched with Traxxas links
65t motor
cut and reversed tires
chassis flip
and a axle mounted servo



It then transformed into this
JunFac Mudrock beadlocks
Axial Rock lizards


And its last stage before a tear down.



Uh...... oops


Front axle is complete, RC guy Special Crawlapalooza 2007 servo mount, only 4 in the world! TCS CNC'd upper link mount.


Rear axle is finished, RC4WD Straight Axle adapters, TCS CNC'd upper link mount.


Lower links and JPCustomRC 100mm shocks installed on a Double J Products "Da Bull" chassis.


One upper link made, Now just to mark and cut the rest. I slipped on some wheels and tires to see how its going to look.


Oops, I actually got so into building that I forgot to take any pictures!


We call this in Oklyhoma bur can-o-flex

Thank you for reading.

Shaun that looks great, its really nice work but I do have one question, why did you take your clothes off to shoot the pictures? (picture three, bottom of the pic.)

Actually thats part of my jean jacket. The spot I was taking the picture in was a mess, I was geting ready for the Midwest nats.

Looks great Shaun.

You should cover you links with something. Brakeline, CF tube, aluminum tube...

I will recommend CF tube. You can get it free from Gander Mountain in the arrow cutting section, just ask to see their box of scrap. (or another place that cuts arrows and has scrap)

The reason I like it so much is that I ran Prometheus for 2 years and only had to replace 2 or 3 rod ends and 2 pieces of CF tube.

The tubes got a small smash in them and the rod ends were old.

The reason they hold up so good is that they go down over the rod end and keep it from flexing with the rod. Eliminates the pressure on the threads and the rod end plastic.

Again, the truck looks great and congrats on winning the parts.

I like that upper link mount, I'm gonna need one of those.

Sidewinder, thank you for the compliment.

SG, thanks for the info and compliment, I was going to sleeve them, but never thought of carbon fiber!

CD, I like the upper link mounts they are strong and you get 2 for $25, I really didn't want to pay that for them but I didn't have many other options.


Here is a list of things that need to be done

Replace all upper links with 4-40 allthread and stampede link ends
Losi Claws(plan on using the rocklizards on a 2.2 scaler)
Sleeve links
40wt shock oil

I got it running last night, need a strap for the battery. and the tranny is not going to work for me, it has a bad clicking and slipping noise, it has a 62pyro locker for the diff. There is a space between the out put shaft and the trans housing. I put the spacer in it that came with it, but no luck.
