caddy crawler

crawlin duckies · #1 11-17-2008, 07:28 PM

ok so some of you may kinda know me but i have been gone for quite some time and while i was gone i picked up this model truck for my son....

now my son loves playing the midnight club games on the 360 and he loves big trucks. so i picked it up for him to work on and i help him out a little. so here is the progress so far he painted it himself with my supervision....

it was his idea to put it on my subs im gonna put in my truck so enjoy.

the interior, one of our dogs chewed up the front passenger seat so its not going in

im going to mount it on this chassis maybe do the servo mod for him so he can crawl with me with my ford

now we need your guys help which rims should we use cause he wants to dub crawler kinda look.... so the six spoke or the custom dayton????

UPDATE!

me and my son got the interior and to body all seal tight together, we also put all the little parts together, like the headlights and taillights etc... here are pics

The finished product THE YELLOW CADILLAC CRAWLER!!

let me know if the rims look funny and i can try to convince my son to take them out or not thanks for looking!!

thats what i was thinking but my son likes the custom rims more but he thinks it would look funny on the truck

Left deffenlty, Even though the right would look ballen' on that caddy.

I had that same model but my youngest son crunched it. Regardless, I have the passenger seat that you can have if you guys want. Pm me and let me know.

Left rim is suited for a truck but the Right rims would more suit a caddilac deville or some crap?

Woohoo! A Caddy Crawler...I too once had an Escalade crawler...I never took too much too it though. I like yours, yellow looks very nice, looks to be a real great project!

Bugeye subie · #12 11-23-2008, 04:03 PM

I think you need bigger tires.

sounds good to me.. i used the same tires on the pics. really grippy and really soft rubber. but i need to get it a wider stance, it looks like a box or something its funny

go mudding. that will be the place where you can figure it all out. hell, go everywhere, and do a careful evaluation of all the parts, how they function, how they function together as a whole, how they look, and etc. then you will have a a better idea, granted you really push the limits.

yea i plan on taking it out after i get some kind of new motor for it. right now the chassis its on was my track truck, it has a heli motor, it spins the gears so fast they dont catch all the time, causes them to grind. i once grinded a gear where it was just a smooth surface

lol sounds just a little to powerful

I agree! You should get him a gearbox or a servo so he can crawl. Something with high torque would work well too!
