Sorry Erik that we highjacking your building tread. I think these are the new WRCCA rules https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...60DGwXECk/edit They are at the moment really hard to find. You can find them only at WRRCA facebook page. I hope WRRCA guys will put the rule set all so here RCCrawler where they could be easier to find. Marko Aava Ps. I think we should go back to the bigger body rule and deny in 2.2 sportman (shafty) class those "rockmagnet" type off wheels. just to keep expences lower and maybe to make it more interesting for the bigger companies to bild a RTR Sportman comp crawler. |

I was also curious to know if we can do boat sides on the Shafty body... If it keeps the full width of the body in one point I can't see why not, but I've never been sure. I just can't see the Shafty class as an entry class on the sport... In theory yes, but in the real world not so much. They cost almost as much as a Pro and they are less forgiving than a Pro, making them harder to drive. With the Pro you learn how to deal with a dig but that allows you to correct your line, the Shafty no way. With the evolution of the sport it has become more and more of a niche market. But having something like SSD center pumpking on the market it is even better than a full rtr shafty car that you end up changing every single item on it... On the other end it would make it easy to find for everybody... Anyway, like Marko, sorry for the offtopic. Last edited by xkill; 05-01-2018 at 10:45 AM. |

There are a pile of low hung weight options on the market from about $100 to $400 depending on options and amount of desired weight. While I am a supporter of heavy and low slung weight guys with off the shelf $50 VP brass weights still win every day. If we start banning performance parts because of any reason then we're no better than the scalers creating rule after rule and handicapping capability sso the lowest common denominator is the average. That is the wrong way to do it without a doubt. | |

Youre not going to get me on a technicality Chuckles! Are you two going to AZ this weekend? Quote:
I think like 30 packs? The motor is good, it has lots of torque but on super high technical situations, it is jumpy on start up. So, I think I will switch out motors. If you look in the above video where I am trying to sidehill, you can see how it can be jumpy. Thats really the only spot where I felt it so its not really that bad. If I were just fun crawling this car, I would keep that motor. Other than that, I might put some tungsten slugs in the bottom of the knuckles but thats about it. I cant see anything I would like to change. Quote:

I also wanted to draw attention to last scene of the movie, amazing how you were swinging the wheel back and forth freely without upsetting the chassis at all. So much going on there. |

That last scene was tricky, I had to drive on opposing wheels and keep it balanced for a small period of time. On top of that, I had to blip the throttle. Being able to hit the throttle while on 2 wheels can be tricky. LOL | ||

I did the same thing on my moa, it had delrin braces but I swapped them all out for aluminum braces and chassis has zero flex. Makes the suspension work way better.

Good background info, I've seen people with no degree build sweet 1:1 suspensions and degreed engineers build nice stuff too, practical experience is a great thing to have too! Good resources, I've done some reading on this and until concepts are tried (together, not just one suspension aspect alone) they often can't be accepted or rejected as good or bad, unless you've got a serious computer with full on active modelling like an automotive/race car designer. Trial and error is still a necessary aspect! Erik, thanks for this great thread and sharing with us! Edit: subscribed!!! | |||

Hey Erik, I said I would keep you posted on applying your idea to the scale world of the ascender. I have design done and started testing. I'm seeing a big improvement in the TT problem. I know you're really busy but any input would be welcome. The 3 link planning starts on second page. Thanks for what you do for the hobby!

I made my front uppers non triangulated and I got horrible lifting on the front axle. I might have been able to tune it out but it was so bad that I only ran it for a bit and switched right back. Quote:

Any new thoughts, positive or negative, moving forward with this project now that you have a fairly well attended Comp under your belt with it?
