Nice tri axle. I really like that blue. Thats a sweet lift axle! Can't wait for more updates.

Thanks Plow Jockey, the paint is Rustoleum Metalic Colbalt Blue.

Well the Knight Krawler has all its own electronics now so I can put my crawler back together. So since I'm recovering from surgery I had the day after Christmas and have got to the point of being able to walk down the stairs to my shop in the basement, I have plenty of time to build! (3 more weeks till I go back to work)
I got the lift axle finished and operating, eventually I will put a digital servo in it so I can program it to get a more prototypical lift speed. Right now its a Hitec MG 645, If anybody knows how I can slow it down I'd appreciate the info, I'm using a aux switch on an AirTronics RDS8000.

I got the HPI 7:1 GRU and 55T motor mounted and the shift linkage adjusted. Still have a few thing to do before I test run the chassis. Enough typing here's a bunch of pictures.















Thanks for looking

You have come a long way on this. The lift axle looks good the way you made it, and I agree with everyone else, that is a pretty blue.
