I bought this yesterday,post your thoughts please Won this on ebay yesterday.This will be my first one.Do you guys think I paid a fair price for what it is,and how could I make it even better?All suggestions welcomed,I am a noob to crawling but not R/C..23 yrs in the hobby and still going http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=005 |
looks like a great deal for the price"thumbsup" good find |
I saw that on Ebay also. In my opinion its a great deal!"thumbsup" The parts are great quality and Reign chassis' are the poo!"thumbsup" |
Looks sweet man, great deal! If it were mine I'd remove the skid plate and wheel widners then lower the body and run the snotout of it."thumbsup" |
does appear to be a very good deal. drop the hitec 645 (or buy/install a dig unit and use it there) and put a STRONG servo in for steering. maybe a JR Z9000T, or Z9100T (about 115 for each) or for the ulitimate, the JR 8711 (140ish bux, but 406 in/oz of torque). you ll LOVE the steering for ever with one. being digital just be sure your epas are setup. |
It looks like a good setup! But the 645 has enough torque to turn 2.2's. |
yaaaay!!! Thanks allot guys I was hoping to hear that I made a good choice.I should get it today or monday ,I am siked!!So you guys are saying the servo is insufficient for what it is?Where would I find a dig tutorial that I could use for this?I searched and found nothing but maybe I was'nt thorough enough. |
It looks like a great deal !"thumbsup" |
Yea that was definatly a steal. |
Good deal!!! Like everyone said, upgrade the steering servo to something like a HS-945MG or the mac daddy HS-5955 servo. If you're in 1:1 4x4, the 645 is like turning 38" swampers with manual steering, move you to the 945 would be like power steering. With the 5955, it's full hydro steering. As for the dig, do a search. You'll find the information. Start with the TLT or Axial sections to read about digs. Digs come in different forms and fashions. It's basically used to lock or brake the rear tires which allows you tighter turns. BTW, the chassis you have is more of a competition chassis than a scale chassis. Scale chassis are ladder-frame style that you see in 1:1 rigs. |

I wouldn't worry about dig yet, just enjoy it for a bit and get familiar with it. If you still feel you want dig, the easiest swap would be to drop in an R2-D. For a scaler though, I think an R2 2 speed would be more fun. Congrats on a good purchase. |

Good price you did well, you can drop in your receiver and dial it in and go find some rocks or take a trail ride. The problem is that all this is addicting and you just spent you first $325 I guarantee it won't stop there welcome to the club. :lol:"thumbsup" |
