Hummer [13:1] Crawler Project (it's now an S10)

[mustanglover]

i like it i'll pay 60$ for it jk.

[texan_idiot25]

Heck, I wouldnt mind building ppl a chassis like this. Now that Ive got all the kinks worked out of mine. Its just that most bodies wont fit. So either make it a truggy, or do the bed like im planning

[mustanglover]

how much would it cost for a best friend?

[texan_idiot25]

Id have to go look up the parts costs 1st. But my local RS has been out of the x-trucks for awhile.

[texan_idiot25]

You can check XMW, and youtube for any real updates, I wont be updating this thread much.

But thanks for your guys' support. Yeh, PM me if you wanna talk about conversions for this gear box. I dont mind doing a few

[fordman]

wow, that is one awesome project dude! i love it.

[texan_idiot25]

Thanks man.

Its gonna be sometime until it gets rollin again. Ill get another gearbox next time I order from towerhobbies, when I buy the servo for the DMX dragster.

If it fails the 2nd time, then Ill dump the idea. I think it was because I didnt really lube the worm gear is why it wore down, I dunno.

[fordman]

just one question, wats xmw?

[texan_idiot25]

xmodworld.com, the site I mainly goto... and well, my honest opinion cant be spoken because its SPAM and Id get BANNED haha.. PM me if you'd like

[fordman]

no thanks, but thats kool.

[texan_idiot25]

Wow, I never realized I didnt post pictures here of it mounted









Custom made head light lenses



Made the bed mount out of a NSX wing and stock suspension plate

[c1v1c]

wut are these little piece of weight that ur xmod is standing on? and wut does it do?

[texan_idiot25]

Their some old pinewood derby weights I found. I have 2 on the front of this S10 to keep the front wheel on the ground when articulating, and to also give the front some more traction

[c1v1c]

oo kk kool and do u think that my worm gear is done after around 1 hour of crawling with it without
grease? well actually ive grease all the gears but havent think about the worm gear. :S

[texan_idiot25]

It took me a long time to wear it down. Given I played with that gear box a few months before the S10 was actually in running shape.

What Im going to do with the next, is use grease and some graphite powder lubricant in a mixture and see what happens. I just think it was since I didnt grease that worm gear, that over time it wore down. But it took a LONG time to do it, while testing it

Sadly, seems I wont drive it yet with the bed mounted, and lemme show why:

The worm gear in the gear box is about gone. Maybe from all the abuse of testing early on, or the fact that for the most part it was never greased...
