Don't pull the red wire on your esc so your receiver could be powered by esc bec (internal bec)... hope this all makes sence....

I just tried this set up on my scaler seems to be working pretty good

I guess I'll need to try deer creek again. It just didn't do it for me the first time I was there. Maybe because I live in folsom lol

Everyone I've known whos run rear steer has took it off due to breakage. It's really hard to make it reliable. If your gonna keep it. I would suggest atleast a hitec 7955, and definitely mip shafts and metal c hubs and knuckles.

ya i got the c hub and knuckles part, i would jus get a hitec 7954 if im gna spend more then 60$, thats y im try to keep it under 60, at 6v mg995 worked fine for 4ws but it cant handle 7.4 and thats whut im runin

[minicrawlerguy530]

well my rtr crawler got here today and it is now sitting on my bench in a million pieces because well ...... it was in a little worse condition then advertised.
so im changing and fixing a ton of stuff on it right now. complete tear down and rebuild.

[Jrob]

Since I can't make it to the comp, and am basically stuck at home, figured I would invite some people over to get our crawl on anyone wanna hit up the backyard course let me know.

[stevew]

these are the previous owners pix and the same way when i got it.




well here is how my rig sits now.all new links,new skid,shortened the shocks by 1/2" put traxxas shock valves in them,cut the springs down to size,narrowed the wheels by 3/4" cleaned and lubed everything.





here some of the garbage i took off of it.
the skid was only 3/16 thick had 1/8" screws holding it on the tvp's.the skid was also about 1/2 to narrow so here used the washer's to shim it out.the washers hung under the chassis like a 1/4". the steering and a couple of links were made from 3/16 brake line with holes drilled in the side.then spot welded to hold the set screw in. as you can see from the steering linkage it was not very good. the 2 springs and 4 nuts were on the rear shocks along with the shock springs to keep it from well moving at all i guess. the rig had almost no articulation at all.the front shocks had zero oil in them the rears were about half full. I could keep going on and on but you get the idea.
