The Nerd's new rig

Forward progress is good. It appears that you are moving right along. From your list one can only assume that you are building a custom crawler? The wheels look nice. Not sure of exactly what your going for with this project, but it looks interesting enough. Thanks for sharing with us.

Things will be a bit slower now though as I'm heading away for a couple weeks, but hopefully by then I will have my axles though to get things really moving! In my opinion no crawler should be off the shelf, so yes very much custom. My aim is to build the finest crawler money can buy, but still build as much of it with my own two hands. No trouble, I figured even though it isn't very RCM style speed wise, a crawler is the best way of showing my skills custom parts wise. Plus who doesn't like cars built of exotic parts

Thanks

Here's a couple pictures of the test run. Machines quite nicely with a bit off cutting oil. Also threading isn't so bad once you get it started. Use decent cutting oil here also. I used rocol cutting oil throughout it's brown, oily and smells like maple syrup I ended up turning the rod down from 3/16" to 3.6mm for easy tapping. Still has plenty of bite in the revo end though. Next to the Ti is standard M4 all-thread for reference.
