D440

So I had a spare AR60 axle and a set of HB Rovers waiting for a long time to be used, and lately got into 3D printing, so I decided to embark myself to build a Shafty/Sporty/Sportsman (or whatever you call it) Comp Crawler.

My approach is to 3D print whatever is possible and go the DIY route as much as possible. Why? Because is fun as hell, and love to be able to change my rigs the way I want as much as possible.

So, I started researching for chassis options and look all the high-end brands and also found one in Thingiverse.com. I think the cleanest and overall best chassis available out there is the Succer Punch (from 5th Dimension), so I took the thingiverse chassis from here (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4337575) and took some inspiration from the Succer Punch to design my own.



After ~5 design iterations this is what I ended with:




I call it the Lil Doggy.

Got some parts to complete my build where I thought DIY was not viable:
* HR locked transmission
* Vanquish steering link
* Axial Hardline Body
* Que-T steel axle tube for AR60
* Dlux AR60 Truss Sporty Version
* Axial AR44 axle set (for rear)
* Crawler Innovation narrow foams
* Injora in-spring shocks
* Team Associated 16T 5-Slot motor
* HW 1080 esc
* Hitec D954SW servo
* Steering Knuckle s Weight from ebay
* For links I used spare traxxas ones plus built my owns
