| Re: Gspeed/TGH/Enduro build for class 3 That's right, it just stays straight until I click the switch one way or the other.

| Re: Gspeed/TGH/Enduro build for class 3 No issues so far. You need to have a good servo back there or it could move with a load on the wheels but in my experience it seems like it certainly doesn't require any more servo than the front. I've yet to have the rear wheels steer when I didn't do it with the transmitter and the servo is always nice and cool.

Update: Finally got this one to a competition over the weekend. I'm very happy with how it worked out. The courses were pretty tough but the truck worked *really* well and I was able to win class 3 against some good competition. All the hours of testing, tuning, tweaking, and learning how to use the rear steer paid off! I don't really have any great pics from the comp unfortunately, but here's the first gate on one of the courses... |

If you add a little caster you can get allot of steering out of those axles.

Update with current state pictured below... I have discovered the usefulness of wheel speed, and the old motors I've tried in this truck just weren't enough. I had a Castle Slate 2280kv sitting around and threw it in to try it, and I'm pleasantly surprised how well it works in this truck. Low speed control is good, and it has just enough wheel speed to get up things that are slick and can't be crawled. Prior to the first comp with this one I swapped in some 370TBL servos and they are absolutely superb. I had also previously moved some electronics around in an effort to get the CoG lower...its still just a bit too high but manageable. I'm thinking about reworking the body for next year and getting rid of the tube bed and roll bar to get the CoG down more. Also considering making some custom adapter plates for the front motor mount to get the motor lower to help with that CoG well. Oh, and I have now replaced most of the links with 4mm titanium builders links from The Crawl Space. Very good stuff for the money, just hard to catch them in all the sizes in stock. Went to my second comp the other day with this one, which netted a second place finish in class 3. Needs more driver tuning, LOL. I made a couple mistakes and it cost me, but still very happy with this truck's performance. And it's still my favorite crawler to drive by far, its just so fun. |

LOVE this build. All of the time you have spent testing, tuning and tweaking is evident in the pics, these posts and the awesome finishes at comps. This rig seems to defy form follows function, It seems to have both in equal measures. Awesome job!

Since I like to tinker I'm planning another class 3 build right now because I want to try some ideas I have, but I don't want to mess with this one...it's 'good enough' to leave alone for a while! | |
