Well been working on these for awhile... So far 3 have been made but this one took them all.. This is a TXT Crawler I just finished for CoffeeTableCrawler.. Custom Frame, and body Servo mount and so on.. This one is a work of art and has 10" of articulation both front and rear at the same time.. WOW... Has too many things done to count.. But Like I said this is a limited production model.. and so far 3 have been made with possibly a couple more for the Clods only to be done.. Might do one more TXT later but not right now.. What do you think?     Tom |

Yes we used to do it way back in the day with K and J
as well as With RC Midwest products... and Team RCR peices
First of all you will need 2 rear ends for the Pede.
Second lock the suspension like you would on an EMaxx or a USA-1. What I mean is make the Axle solid with out Flex.
You can keep the Suspension flexable and 4 wheel independent however solid axles work best for crawling.
Next you will need a frame, Any Crawler frame will work with the correct suspension Set up. On Pedes 3 link works great or 4 link with center Mount set up.
Cantilevers work great on Pedes even with independent.
If you need a frame or help building one let me know I will do my best for you. Or you can try to make it like the ones shown on this site or others..
Good luck

If you have the Gear box's/ rear Suspension parts already then it would be cheaper to build.. if not then buying one would be cheaper...
