I have a usa 1. Can someone tell me if it could be made into a crawler? If so can you post a pic of one so I can get an idea what could be done. Thanks

it could be done.... but, the amount of work needed would be insane. The problem is the indipendant suspension. Although good for high speed handleing the "indy" wont allow you to properly use leverage and you will actually loose ground clearance when you flex. That being said, I built an emaxx into a crawler and it worked rather well but, the amount of time and money involved out weighted the result.

No I have one, zero useful parts. Drivetrain isn't strong enough for crawler duty. Your best option is to put the truck on ebay. I know thats harsh, but it's the honest truth.

Might be better off trying to find a used Axial to mess with.


LSP lots of Khz, Werks .28 8 port.

Revo 2.5, TRX 3.3 Engine, Center Diff. Fast and Turns on a dime.
