Well aesthetically speaking ideally we all want a chassis mounted servo setup for a scaler.

My question is on a 1.9 SCX10 axled Wraith built for high speed dirt/gravel/sand bashing and just general KOH style rock bashing would you setup a 4 link system front and rear if you had to run a CMS setup?

My other question is on my 2.2 Wraith setup for crawling would it be better to run a CMS w/ panhard or CMS with 4 link? VP stuff for both rigs of course! "thumbsup"

The reason being is that the current axle housings I have already have the top stems cut off from a 4 link truss I had years ago...

Or would a servo mounted directly on the axle be better for lower CG? ]]> General Crawlers alexchen86 http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/general-crawlers/445165-cms-w-panhard-4-link-f-r.html ***Give Away Poison Spyder Custom Ultimate Kit*** http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/general-crawlers/445131-%2A%2A%2Agive-away-poison-spyder-custom-ultimate-kit%2A%2A%2A.html Fri, 17 May 2013 20:02:06 GMT

Which is better? http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/general-crawlers/444853-motor-pinion-first-better.html Wed, 15 May 2013 19:51:14 GMT Ok, before it starts ... I searched. I've been searching. There's a million threads about this, none of which answered my question. . .

My question is this:

What guidelines are there for a newb like me to follow when he or she is unsure of whether to upgrade his or her motor or to change his or her pinion?

Is this a simple fact of "put smaller pinions until there isn't a small enough pinion, and then get a stronger motor and start over" or is it "get a stronger motor and then find an appropriate sized pinion" or what? Which is better to do first, the motor or the pinion? Is there a way to find a 'good balance' or is this all in the eyes of the beholder, every different person having their own way to decide?

Little confused,

I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this and I am sorry. But I am looking for more options when it comes to winches. I like the bulldog and 3racing but I am looking for a little different style of winch. I am currently turning a truck that I purchased into a pilot car for where I work, and all our pilot cars have winches on the front. below is a picture of our work semis. That is the stlye I am looking for. Not sure if possible.

I have been busy for couple of days designing a 2.2 axle and differential system for my 2.2 crawler. I was thinking of designing a diff lock unlock system in it and would like to here from people their experience with such a system.

1] What kind of diff lock unlock would you prefer like manually actuated or electronically actuated.
2] What problems have you faced with such kind of diff systems?
3] Would it be a Go or No go to have a diff lock unlock system in your crawler ?

Looking forward to hear it all "thumbsup" ]]> General Crawlers wings_of_fire http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/general-crawlers/444126-rc-crawler-differential-survey.html
