not really a build thread more of a upgrade thread...
 
Here goes bought a rtc when released and thought it was great out of the box, but have completed a few upgrades that i like the out come of.
including changing to a r2 trans with disc
novak rooster crawler esc
inturdy 55 turn motor
dx3r tx/rx
as it sits i love the low stance and the way it will rip the driveshafts off if it gets in a bind, hahaha cant be any happier with it for right now atleast

Plans for the future are as follows or until i change my mind lol:

upgraded chassis
derlin links(i like the plastic slide)
maybe updated motor and maybe lipos.
aluminuim steering options

let me know what you guys think i always like creative critisism....."thumbsup"

Sick trans. "thumbsup"

You are off to a really good start and made a great radio choice!, but boy that is a belly dragger!

Here Is my humble opinion.

1 Tires. Rovers are extremely popular for good reason. They will get your GC up to about 2-3/4

2. Mip/thunder tech driveshafts.

3. Aluminum knuckles and C's. You could do what I do with high clearance VP knuckles or go BTA with them.

4. Go 4 link and do Delrin lowers

5. Chassis, either a very popular SWX or the similar but I think a little better in some ways Mayhem LS 2.0 see my build thread, link in my sig

6. Better shocks, either the Losi crawler or the new Axial are a good choice.

7. Lipo's

That will keep you busy for a while:lol:

Looken good!!!! I just got a kit Axial. It sits too high. I am still waiting on a 55t motor and a servo.

I think that the RTC comes with the new Axial shocks.

looks really good bro!! as for upgrades, definitly upgrade those stock tires to some HB Rovers or somethhing along those lines. you will see a major difference in crawling and your belly wont hang as low as it is now. but looks really good. i have the HPI bug body also.

Looking good!!! 4 linking the rear will help a lot and so will moving your lower links the the inside of the chassis, New Rovers is for sure another good investment..."thumbsup"

axman2010 06-18-2009 04:37 PM

Looks great"thumbsup" Like you already planned 4-link front and rear. Like everyone has said, different tires. I say comp claws, they flat out work. Rovers are good to but I havent even ran mine yet because I love the comp claws. Nice rig and keep on practicing and tweaking"thumbsup"

Harvo 06-18-2009 07:44 PM

Good job. I like the body. I think you might benefit from trimming the bottom edge of the body just a little above the skid. It hangs up less.

dragit 06-18-2009 08:28 PM

thanks again evrybody. it trial and error just seeing what works and what doesnt, it has definately turned in a fun money pit....:mrgreen:

dragit 06-19-2009 04:30 PM

as far as tires which performs better the:

chisels
hb rovers
panthers

?

Aussie Nerd 06-19-2009 07:44 PM

I will be a pest a give you more choices

LOSI COMP CLAWS"thumbsup"

The best rock crawling tire ever made. They look awesome and they grip on anything"thumbsup" I use to just run the stock tyres but when i bought these wow!! they 5.2 high so they will give you better clearance under the diffs but not blow your cg out of proportion!!!

dragit 06-22-2009 11:15 AM

very cool anybody else on tires? comp wise?

dragit 07-02-2009 10:11 PM
