My first crawler project , need advice.

[dvmadscientist]

I've stripped my stock clod i just got down to 2 axles.
I made a chassis from stainless steel.
Damn, i need to get a webcam so i can post this stuff. (will do tommorow)

What do you guys recommend i use for motors? gears, servos?

Any input would be great.

Also: I noticed that after i made a 4 link suspension, the truck got huge!
Its sitting about 5 inches bigger, side to side, front to back than a stock clod.

Advice would be appreciated! :D

Go to Mudcow.com................read his entire site............then come back if you still have questions :D

Ive been reading Mudcows site for a couple days. I was more curious as to what kind of servos/ esc i should go for.


Right now, this truck is running off a mechanical speed control, and two big trinity motors, most of their information has been scratched off of them :roll:

id suggest stick with the trinity motors if you can depends how big they are and then get a super rooster esc and for servos i have hitec 625 servos they work awesome and anything else just ask

[dvmadscientist]

Super rooster esc?

Ok, i'll start looking for one of them.

I got a webcam earlier, need to get it installed. I'll post pictures of the project as it sits, maybe you guys could give me some pointers.


Thanks.
