Krawler Konceptz Stingray

[Krawler Konceptz]

So with the 2013 Nats coming up it was time to step up for the 2.2pro class. It was easier to buy a built roller then spend all summer collecting the parts needed. With getting a roller I can spend more time on the rocks getting my driving up to par.(I can dream ) Here is the rig I'm starting with MitchellY UGC Stingray

Parts I have to add are:
HH matched 45t (won at West Coast Shootout)
Hitec HS7950TH with robitronics servo arm
Rowdy Racing mount
CC sidewinders smashed
CC bec
Futaba 614 decased
Krawler Konceptz inside skinz
More to come.......

At the moment I'm trying to pick the correct compound Voodoo's and foams

It was sub 3 lbs with a 7950 dual Micro sidewinders, BEC, A 350mah battery, and the outrunners... So he should be 3.5 lbs fairly easily and for sure sub 4...

[JeremyH]

If it's below 4.5lb, I would definitely go with the gold and, depending on how much sidewall support and tread compression you prefer, either 5.5 or 6.0 CC inners with medium outers.

Here it is rtr without skinz 3lb.11.30oz skinz might add .48oz

Rob, I would go with Golds on both ends. I run those on my sporty and like the setup. Foam tuning is a tad more tedious with the golds, but it's worth the effort.

Now I have to decipher how many foams I need. They have come along way from when I was comping 5 years ago.

Dang... Other than motors were did you add all that weight? Cause electronics are the same as Mitch's except the motors... Did you add anymore knuckle weights?

The only parts I added was motors with 14t pinions, Rowdy Racing mount, servo with arm, cc bec and Gem 450 3s lipo. I can do some machining to lose more weight from gears and motor plates. And if I wanted to pay BIG $ I could get some sweet light weight motors

Why does that look so familiar? Haha glad it went to some good hands There are DD 5.0 foams in the BCs, but those are gonna be to small for the Voodoos...

Enjoy the rig Brotha!

[Krawler Konceptz]

Now it's alive! got the esc's programmed and hid the bec under the servo. I'll fab some test panels and should be able to hit the rocks!

Now back to my other job cutting panels for customers.

Made my order to Crawler Innovations for foams. That took a lot of reading and pm's to understand what I should look for.

Looking very nice so far. I'll be watching this build as I've been intrigued with this type of chassis since I saw the one Egressor put together that was similiar. Good to hear Eddie got you steered in the right direction with your foams.

The stingray is a beautiful chassis. I would like to get my hands on one sometime. UGC and DickyT did a great job creating it. Keep up the good work.

I got it running lastnight and Wow this rig works awesome! Very well balanced. With foams ordered I'm just in the works of getting tires.

Well, I see that my post was deleted. I'm sure it must have happened by mistake so for what its worth I said I run Voodoo's and I have Golds up front with 5.25 CI Closed cells with soft outers and medium tuning rings. I run Silvers on the rear with the same CI closed cells and medium outers with medium tuning rings. My RTR weight is 3.88lb Just my little mouth full to you.......the man that bought my dream chassis.
