Red's "Avenge Me" AR60 build

[OLI972]

that servo is 7.4v max ... try reduice your bec voltage.

***EDIT***
OK, yes, it was the BEC voltage....I dropped it down to 7.4v and everything worked smooth as butter! Thanks Guys for your inputs, I love this site!

2 HITEC tech support personnel specifically recommend me to push the voltage up to 8v on that servo (initially) and that servo will handle more than 7.4v....during a 45 minute phone conversation.

I lose .5v when I run the BEC through the receiver. So, initially, I set the BEC to 8.4v so I can get 7.9v out of the receiver into the servo. Well, when I decided to wire the servo direct, I forgot to drop the BEC voltage down....my bad.

I'm going to test 8.0v to see how that works.....every little bit I can get.....!

OK, so....I wanted the Kids to put their touch on my crawler so I let them paint the body. I gave them no direction and no limits. The Wife picked the colors, the two older girls painted the "design" and well....."HE" did the rest.......






I had to salvage all the "prettiness", painted a speckle of lime green and backed everything in black. Yes, My Family painted this - I love it! Wouldn't change a thing!!

That body actually turned out really really SICK! Better get them a blue star and make them pay there own way to college

It looks awesome man! I think its great getting the kids in on it too! My little one is 18 months so I have a little more time before she gets to "help" Cant waith though! Great rig, Sorry to hear about the scum bags that stole your rig "thumbs down" to that but sweet build!

[R/CMARK]

That's pretty cool! I can't imagine what it would look like if my kids got ahold of it

Well, since SOMEONE isn't making wheels right now, I had to go with these! LOL - I'm kidding, I love these wheels

Width from outside of tire to outside of tire - 11.25"

I am going to look for green hardware for the wheels....for the "Cool Factor", or I'll just simply paint the screw heads and touch them up as needed.




I lost 3 oz going with these wheels over the stock XR10 wheels. I just hope they are skinny enough to hold the tires on the foams better. I still need to add knuckle weight but I am VERY HAPPY!



what do you think?

I'm just letting everyone play "catch up"

[redsawacs]

well, if you have such a surplus, I could use a freebie chassis!!!!

Got orders away from Crawler Heaven. Never finished the shake down runs and it is time to sell her. I think I'm going to part it out because I know I'll never get the money I put into it, back out of it.......sigh

[SimpleMinded]

What a cool build man, it was fun to go through the thread and watch it take life. Too bad you gotta sell it.

[redsawacs]

My wife just gave me a frowny face when I started taking "for sale" pictures....um, thats a first! I will miss it if it sells. If not, I'll have it for Crawla-pa-looza in Disney, OK!!!!!

[winnerone23]

Sounds like a good wife, no need sell her, then!
