I'm going to start building a lcg crawler from scratch. The chassis, servo mount, links, body/bumper mounts, and sliders will be made by me in my small garage machine shop. Chassis will be flat rail, 7075 aluminum with an angled skid similar to g speed and pro crawler.
The trans will be Salinas, servo Holmes hobbys, motor Holmes hobbys brushless stubby pp, and esc will be the castle micro x.
For the axles I had my heart on the stock scx10 3's but they are hard to come by and very expensive when found. The aluminum offerings are too heavy for what I'm doing so I'm going with the much cheaper and easy to find trx4 axles. They are more bulky and steering is less than the 10 3 but I think I can get another degree or 2 of steering by altering the cvd shaft, cup and removing a little plastic...
I can't really do much until I get the trans/motor mount. Salinas makes them as ordered so idk...3 brothers is a lot more denero and they are out of everything...
This will be bought in stages. My gearbox and axles are on their way. My material for my chassis is here. Tires, shocks, electrics and body will be on the next billing cycle to try and sneak some of this past my wife.
