Crawler/Basher/Evader??? HAHA
Being totally undecided on my next RC purchase (summit/axial) I've decided to boldly go where no man has gone before...
Seeing custom builds on this site (and others) has inspired me to come up with my totally insane idea of building a crawler/basher/evader... I own two already and THEY ARE MY TOUGHEST TRUCKS!!! DTX has a bad wrap from the old days, but I LOVE my evaders!!!
Long story short, I am buying up spare parts, wheel/tire combos, a/arms, linkages, etc... God knows how long it will take (or if I will even suceed)... It will remain a 2x4, unless I can fab up something off of a buggy chassis (idea).... Being limited on my wheel options has me going back with EXT2 wheels (which look pretty sweet anyway) on these tires:

I already have a BL kit... So power will not be an issue.. More or less looking for 3" of GC at the tranny... So we shall see where this goes....
P.s. - Any ideas or suggestions are welcomed!!!

i think most of the bead lock crawler tires can be cut to fit glue style rims. if theres someway of getting a hex on the evader, then tire wheel choice is almost endless
crawler tires are real soft, any kind of speed will turn em into pizza cutters. much worse than most
