"somewhat"... yeah.. almsot impossable unless you surf ebay for 150 bucks

packdaddy · 02-15-2006, 01:05 PM

now im somewhat upset, this thing is a pos lol, the shift on the fly doesnt work good, the gears grind, it wont even make it up my yard which is grass, so now im clueless of what to do, im thinking about a tlt 2.2 crawler

they're supposed to grind when they shift gears... As not shifting id contact nylit Customer Service... That thing will climb a vertical wall easy so i dont see a problem with it driving up a hill in your yard...

packdaddy · 02-15-2006, 01:16 PM

yes it grinds when it shifts, it will shift, and It wont go up my grass yard, im coming from racing 1/10 hobby class cars, maybe im expecting to much?

High gear sucks, you cant do much more than drive on a flat surface in high gear or the belts will slip

Low gear is the only way to go..............

these things are NOT made for speed!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT HE SAID, if your unsatisfied with it still try putting the front belt in the rear and a 2 inch o ring in the front

packdaddy · 02-15-2006, 06:36 PM

im not complaining about the speed at all, its just the steering is slow, it doesnt have like any umph when you hit the throttle, i guess im just expecting to much

MilesToEmpty · 02-16-2006, 08:38 AM

Its a rock crawler... Would you want that umph on the trail? Not really... Its made for torque... not speed... it'll go up a vertical wall from a dead stop... and they are tough... yea things will break but its not like its gona cost you $100 for a new part.

I went from running a modded savage .25 to this, sold the savage and jsut use this now... savage took to much time and money and I love this thing... I still own a .21 savage and a Tamiya Pajero...

GACrawler · 02-16-2006, 09:21 AM

I'll buy it from you.

rig it · 02-16-2006, 09:23 AM

man, i want the savage ss version i think that it would be good for muddin or jumpin and stuff like that, can the savage .25 do a wheely on a stop

packdaddy · 02-16-2006, 01:40 PM

If you want it, Ill sell it

packdaddy · 02-17-2006, 04:09 AM

Well ive decided im just gonna live with it, I figured id do the tummy tuck, and get a lexan body, I might do a custom chassis, I have manufacturing in school, so supplies and tools wouldnt be a prob, any suggestions?

CoreyK · 02-17-2006, 09:36 AM

I suggest you quit complaining. You paid 89$? for a scorpion nylint. That is a DEAL and a HALF. Its a rock crawler not a 1/10th speed car.

packdaddy · 02-17-2006, 10:50 AM

alright whatever, what all should I do besides the tummy tuck?

basalt51 · 02-17-2006, 11:10 AM

Read this site? There are mods all over. You can inboard the shocks, replace the shocks, 4 link it, beef up the steering, Whatever. Decide what you want to improve and improve it.

i'll personally be doing a TT, inboarding the rear shocks, and beefing up the steering. I've already cut the tires.

packdaddy · 02-17-2006, 06:41 PM

Ive been reading about the inboard shocks, But im still not understanding it, what exactly do you do, and yes ive looked at the "ULTIMATE MOD GUIDE", I just dont understand the mod.

icu_runnin · 02-17-2006, 07:00 PM

so i just bought a Jeep but want a scorpion body. Wanna trade? i havent even driven yet.

packdaddy · 02-18-2006, 03:48 PM

I would man, but im gonna have to call nylint, it wont go into high, and in low it doesnt have near the power it use to, and when it is moving, it cuts in and out, I hope I just didnt waste $89

Chuki · 02-18-2006, 03:55 PM

Is your battery fully charged? The low into high thing is easy take your axle covers, and find out whats binding, or maybe grease up the lever.

I also suggest taking the gears apart and placing some more grease in there, mine hardly had anything so I placed some more in there, and it really quiets them up good.
