First legit crawler build.

[Forbes]

Wasn’t sure if this could go in the build threads, it’s not arrma. Started a 1.9 “cheater” crawler build and have made a little progress last day or two.

It’s a v4 gspeed chassis, carbon bed, fmm, with dravtech shocks. Waiting on Gshot kit to show up before any major progress is made.

I’m not positive I’m still relatively new to crawlers. I have a Capra that’s built up but nothing like this. I think it’s just that it wouldn’t fit in any official class. Tires are too big for 1.9 and the 4ws kicks it out of everything I think. I just want what’s most capable cause I do it for fun.

Very nice I have 2 gspeed builds going on the bench as we speak

class 2 and class 3

Gabe at gspeed is awesome and makes a great product


Did you double check that the gshot will work with the v4 just because I know it was designed around the v3 chassis ??

Yeah they do seem like great products from what I’ve seen. Yes I did ask gabe before I ordered he said it works great either way. Excited to see it when it’s together.

Cool build. I've seen those tyres on a scx24 on you tube. What are they? Sorry I can't quite read it in the photo.

Ruptures, ok thanks

Ruptures, ok thanks

Must have been the Tusk 1.0" I saw as they don't do the Raptures in smaller scale.
