Probably going to start on Sunday cause i have a BIG VEX robotics competition on sat. all day. but ill keep yall posted with pictures!!
You have to realize something you will need torque to do so, torque is the basis for rc crawlers not exactly articulation because if you look at my 1/24 Silverado build, it doesn't have much articulation but still performs fine. The 3 basic things for crawling that are absolute needs, torque, 4WD, and good tires, otherwise you'll be picking it up every 5 seconds to move it from being stuck
