Default SUPER CRAWLER food for thought
im a newb to crawling right...but im an engineer...so i had this idea of taking a axial honcho and placing an aluminum van body the "lunchbox" body from that aluminrcbodie website an adding a small solar cell panel to the front of it so it will either run lots of lights without killing the main power cell or recharging youre cells while you crawl and trail around...can any 1 build this if so ide like to see it....i would build it but im STILL tryint to build my 1st custom crawler...and this websie really doesnt help...too much lingo and nicknames and jibber..lol

For being an engineer your English is terrible.

LED's draw hardly any power, so you can run a ton of lights without recognizably effecting run time. A solar cell the size of the body also isn't going to produce enough amperage to really do anything. Also it would be way to fragile.

Maybe because we hide all the relevant info from the noobs. You didn't know that? The only real way to get a straight answer is to ask the same question over and over and over again until one of the experienced members cracks and spills the beans.


Otherwise, Harley nailed it. On both counts.

They are super thin, like a knockoff metalmasher body. Cool theory but not really worth the effort for those.

My guess is that this dude is busy reading this website and cannot get off it, so he never finds the time to finish his crawler...at least that is how I understood it. I didn't read it as him bashing the site?


As for everyone else, way to welcome a new guy

1-Go to his profile page and look at his posts......very similar "scatter gun" attempts.
2-Must be a new engineer, or English is NOT his native tongue
