|  Mike's project "CROW"
I wanna made a scaler based on MOA axles. Simply to try something different. I like the pumkin body, so I need narrow axles. And CC axles can be made really narrow  I started with this:   First step was to disassemble whole thing and put some parts off    Made rear lock by cutting off servo posts and using axial rod ends & balls with PTI turnbuckles   Also used some tunning parts by DTX Stock & tuned axle comparison   All tunning parts together (DTX bearing set, DTX steel gears, Axial stub axles & shaved hexes)  Modified dogbones (axial stub axles need more space due to different design of cups)  2.2 rims for 1.9 scaler ? Why not ? (Proline 8-shooter beadlocks) You can see weights on front wheel and went holes in place of screws  I have nice 1.9 wheels with 2.2 ProLine dirt Hawg tire  As you can see the whole axle is much narrower now  The whole thing should look like that  Last edited by crawlingmike; 03-09-2009 at 03:27 PM. |

Nice  Mean this in a good way - The beadlock rings almost look like 50's wide white walls, which go with the body era! |

I like those low profile tires. It's not so common here. They are smaller than most of 1.9 tires  from left: Pro-Line Dirt Hawg (2.2 size) Tamiya Pajero tire Losi Rock Basher RC4WD Prowler XS SDI Trail Doctor Tamiya Rock Cruiser MT (High Lift) RC4WD Rock Creepers RC4WD Mud Thrashers RC4WD Out Croppers SDI Trail Doctor XL RC4WD Rock Crusher M/T Last edited by crawlingmike; 03-09-2009 at 03:26 PM. | |

I used Rock Bashers on my recent, first, scaler build. Smallest 1.9 I found without spending a fortune. Not the most scale looking, but they're OK, and they crawl well. Hey, could you put a ruler in the pic both vertically and horizontally and post that in a thread called the "ultimate tire size......." in wheels and tires? Great info! |

Let's go ahead I will use Czech made MIG 400 12V (3s lipo) low rpm motors (people use them in planes instead of basic 400 motor with gear reduction unit) $6 per motor  megamotor pages with double DSYS MD28DCR ESC (also Czech made )These are new ones with drag brake. I like size and functionality. Easy programmable via prog card.  Motors comparison. As you can see, original motors are 400 size  Mounted on axles   Last edited by crawlingmike; 03-10-2009 at 01:28 PM. |

Definetely post back on those motors and ESCs 1300 KV, you might be onto something. How much are the motors? Two ESCs, are you using a 3-4ch radio so you can DIG with it? Just spent 20 minutes on Mega's site. Lots to make you wonder. Nice that they carry replacement parts of every part of the motor!! |

The best way is to try them  I'm gonna run it with 4PK radio, so dig is my option. The replacement parts they have are only for premium class motors not for cheap cans. Still better than nothing. Quote:

What the name CROW comes from ?  The evolution wasn't easy. Finally I got chassis I wanted. Holes for shocks are following a circle so I can easy adjust suspension as a scaler or a crawler. I replaced shock balls with axials. The links are also from AX10.  Completed chassis   Some flex shots / this is not the maximum   I like the low CG of this rig   Last edited by crawlingmike; 03-12-2009 at 03:53 PM. |
