Wow!
Nice articulation!

I just finished a bunch of mods to my Monster Herbie crawler, but I can see where legthening and articulation is going to make for better rock crawling.


Great stuff! I love seeing this stuff!

yah thanx, the articulation mod helps alot, now it crawles over my old course like nothing. i reely recomend this mod. it involves some time but is totaly worth it

I have a guinea pig-mobile cut up at this point, but my main questions are:

How do you keep it from wobbling on the articulation points
and
Doesn't the torque tend to spin one section under load

If I can't get past those concerns then I might have to pass on this mod.

Looks pretty good, can you take some more pics?

Most use either tiny bearings, or sleeve the driveshaft, or both.
