dusting off the MONSTER
 
ive been away from the xmods for like almost 2 years now, and the one thing i havent done yet with xmods is make a crawler, so im dusting off the monster ford i made forever ago and i put new crawler tires on it, and now i asking you guys to give me a hand with the rest, i need to know what motors to use, and how to set up the motors and the gearing and all,

First of all, you'll need to widen your wheelbase if you consider using these wheels or it'll flip real easily.

here's a tut on a wide axle tut from Surgeon.

To eliminate bumpsteer in the front suspension and to increase steering, this is a great tut for it

Of course, stock rs upgrades is a must, such as bearings, awd and lift kit. don't forget to lock your diffs.
You might also want to consider gpm dogbones later on..

Hope this help!

EDIT: forgot to tell you about the articulation tut, look on the site, you'll find plenty of tut for it.
