|  New rig.. need a little help!
Well i just got this new rig today.. Its def. one of the best crawlers ive seen.. this thing can climb a tree! Front and rear dig, more than enough torque and speed, nice articulation, tons of ground clearance.. the vertical and sidehill capability is just insane! havent seen an obstical yet that it couldnt handle. heres where i need help... Im having trouble getting all my electronics, receiver, ESC, etc. hooked up. Any tips welcome. Once i get it going it seems to run out of control everytime. thanks!  |

I'm think that you need another radio system that have a stick with a fish on the another side of it and a servo that moved the stick and than your rig is go right or left   p.s. what is the wheel base? roy |

thanks roy that may just work the wheel base is around 16 1/2" running a full droop setup as pictured above.. so not exactly comp legal.. but a helluva a basher. Also runs about 18 lbs, so a little on the hefty side. tried the tape and water gun thing.... caused some SERIOUS glitching!!  | |

Up around the front servo area do you get a low pitch buzzing sound? I'm not sure what the rules read about tires with actual claws in them? Just hope your comps are not near any catnip bushes. Never saw anyone use 'Friskies' brand LIPO or Nimh before. I'll stop now. Nice post. |
