Alright. Finally got a good daylight pack through this. I like it. A lot. Super fast for a scaler. Crawls okay with programmed TX. No finessed crawling, more throttle. Basically just like real u4 rigs. I have a dedicated crawling buggy for finesse. Specs so far: - Yeti Brushless system geared 12/56. - Futaba TX/RX - Hitec 7955 servo (wp) - Gearhead 1 in lightbar - Vanquish steering links - Mugen buggy rear shocks - yeti sway bar with new homemade links to axle (threaded rod and revo rod ends ftw!) - Aesthetic upgraded to pass time. - Hyperion 2600 3s 45C lipo. Great packs. Plenty more upgrades to come (chubs, links, trailing arm, Holmes BLE esc). Already have a 3100 waterproofed ROC 412 sensored motor, just need the Holmes esc. I will probably get some shorter 90-95mm shocks to lower it a bit. Axial did an awesome job. Fun toy. |

The red fuel tank is cool. I was planning to do that to mine. I'm going to do brushless and a sway bar and let her rip until stuff breaks. |

After several hours with awesome weather, I decided this is a Quiver Killer. It is the most fun to drive and watch. Perfect scale proportions. This will be my go to vehicle in the future. Pretty happy with my Futaba radio adjustment. Even though I am running a sensor less brushless setup, I was able to fine tune the throttle adjustment to creep without cogging. It crawls and hauls! Love this thing!! Installed some VP chubs and axial universals. Good steering again. Also installed my 4 inch traxxas big bores with Jeepin Dougs springs set up. Soft springs in front, firm in rear. 40wt all 4 corners. It handles so much better at speed!! So much. I can actually turn and correct at full throttle without flipping like with the stock height. The sway also helps. It's also flexy as hell for crawling. It sits low with significant droop. Just need some new links and trailing arms, and may call it done. It's so fun. Quiver killer.

Well, been bashing / crawling this thing for months and got some goodies in a trade with Eddie (crawler innovations): - Holmes lockers front and rear - Under drive gears front and rear - VP VVD universals (crazy steer angle - more then axial uni's) - VP anti-sway - Blue Monkey trailing arms - SSD front titanium front lower links - RPM dual stage pistons in the big bores (took some sanding, but worth it). 40wt rear, 30wt front - Dueces Wild foams / Six shooter / stock BFG setup - 350 VP hubs (slightly wider then stock setup by almost half an inch. Much more stable) - clear body from some ebay dude. Over-all this thing wants to race! It's so stable and predictable at speeds thanks to the foams and dual stage pistons. I would highly recommend shock tuning. Still crawls great as well. Need to make a video here soon. Love this thing! It's my favorite rig ever. |
