Posted March 12, 201410 yr hi, i know there are hundreds crawler moc, but i have worked three months to create mine, so i have to show ! don't get bored ! it's made using many parts of 9398 i wanted to give it a 60's look servo motor and old type rack for steering, pneumatic cylinder for differential lock medium motor, chain and friction for the speed shifter medium motor, pneumatic pump and autovalve for the diffs it's a crawler alpha...
March 12, 201410 yr There is always room for one more crawler! This is pretty good! I really like the look of it, the camera helps give a matt black styling. The tires are awesome and the bodywork is great! It seems to have good articulation as well. I checked your youtube channel, but couldn't see a video, will there be one soon?
March 12, 201410 yr Nice job on the bodywork! I'm not a huge fan of the pneumatic hoses sticking out though. I would like to see a video as well.
March 12, 201410 yr Author @ unimog123 you are right about the hoses.. it depends of i'm undecided on the placement of the compressor.. in this placement the mass distribution is optimal, at the expense of the line.. for a better look the best place was in the trunk, but it penalize the crawling
March 12, 201410 yr This one looks good! Most crawlers are fugly and have simple bodywork. The proportions are pleasing too, I mean that the wheel size fits the lenght and width. Only bad thing for me is the multicolored chassis.
March 12, 201410 yr Looks great. Can't wait to see a video of performance. Is the there a center dif and lock? How many speeds in transmission? v/r Andy
March 12, 201410 yr Author @ skppo i know.. this is a new hobby.. i have not many parts.. and not same color parts @ AndyCW the central differential is locked by a medium motor with friction the speeds are only 2 (using the central diff gears)... low and high !
March 12, 201410 yr Very cool looking crawler. I'm wanting to rebuild my 9398 soon. I would love to see some more detail photos of the chassis.
March 12, 201410 yr Cool crawler! The body work is great and it seems to have good functions too, keep it up.
March 13, 201410 yr Nice looking crawler. It's pretty sharp with the matte black bodywork. Are the tires from Lego? If so; what's the part number? I really like them.
March 13, 201410 yr Author thankk you ! @ jullian: no, the tyres are this: http://thescalerstore.altervista.org/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/684 compatible on the 9398 / 8110 wheels !
March 14, 201410 yr Author ok.. here is the video: the director is of the same quality of the cam !!! Edited March 14, 201410 yr by astakos
March 17, 201410 yr Looks like it has some nice crawling capabilities. Nice bodywork as well, love the black. tim
