Now I'm just waiting for my chair area to thaw out ;)

Oh dear.... when I watched the video.. at the first when the camera is spiraling, I felt much like your crawler.... like I was about to fall over. : )

Nice build and a nice video. Fun to watch. I never have the patience to do awesome videos or the amount of photo shooting Sariel does. Nice to see building and sharing merging perfectly together in sweet harmony.

Many great builders our there..... but I think Sariel is one of the best at building AND sharing it with the world in a fun and entertaining way.....

Wow! Awesome crawler and video. The whole thing looks amazing. I was building a truck body just exactly like that in August (it was even red too) but I couldn't figure out how to build the A pillar an make it look natural with the thick liftarms so I stop there.

I dont know if it can be called a crawler, but it sure looks good!

Sweet build—particularly the disturbing switch to crab steering :)

RE: the diffs—could you have the rear one lock (and perhaps lock steering to centre) based on a remote-controlled input?

Great model and video, too bad you don't have any snow to drive it in.

Really cool. The suspension looks a bit too hard. Will it ever get the mini cooper body?

[efferman]

The center of gravity seems a bit to high.

[Graydingo]

Amazing work as usual Sariel!

[Sariel]

Will it ever get the mini cooper body?

Nope.

The center of gravity seems a bit to high.

I think Sariel is going extreme here. I think the extremely high center of gravity adds to the ridiculousness of it all. Kind of grab-your-attention kind of thing. I think the high center of gravity is exactly what he wants.....

With this high-placed body it looks much more like TLG's crawler (like a monstertruck).

I like this MOC, I respect Your building skills, Sariel, the master of hamsters ( ). But I simply do not think, that this thing with high body is crawler - car built nearly just for extreme offroading... ;)
