Kansas Twist N' Pullers

[nitroboy88]

Hey everyone I'm looking to get a few people together for a radio control club. I'm looking more for more of the crawlers and sled pulling... I'm in Salina but hit me up if you're interested.

Hey me and a friend have started Almost Scale RC here in Junction City and we are always looking for some new people to go crawl with. We would love to go crawling sometime.

[nitroboy88]

Yeah I'd love to. I just learned of a couple places to go here by me. I'm over around JC a lot having to buy parts lol.

i, and several friends here in salina, trail several times a week. your welcome to join us anytime? we frequent indian rock, and the iron st. bridge most of the time. post up some pics of your rigs?

[nitroboy88]

The one here is my beater lol. I just ordered my Axial SCX10 today should be here by Friday. I'll be figuring out what upgrades I'll have to make for my style lol. I will probably be doing a lift, 2.2 tires, New links, and a tundra cab pretty soon. but just depends.

Here is my scx10 witha proline jeep body. Since the photo i have added a canoe push bar and light rack. The other rig is my friends scx10 honcho.

What type of "waterproofing" have you guys done?

[elance90]

We both run Traxxas waterproof XL-5 esc and I personally use rtv on my servos. We take our receiver and put a balloon over it and zip tie the opening shut. After that pic was taken i went forward off that rock and didnt know the water was four foot deep. I retrieved the truck and it ran perfect with no cleaning.

[nitroboy88]

Yea I'm on debate, I thought about maybe upgrading to the traxxas waterproof stuff but not sure yet. I know I need to do something because I've gotten close a couple times to messing up my HPI already because of not waterproofing.

[elance90]

Traxxas makes some really good stuff. My friend has run their waterproof servo and didnt do a thing to it but put in his truck and go. Same with the esc.

[nitroboy88]

Also thought about the plastadip too but not sure how well I'll do that way lol

[elance90]

im pretty sure my friend uses plastidip and has had good results from it.

[nitroboy88]

Could you find out for sure I might have him help if he does cuz I'd like to keep the esc with the drag brake. I heard they are good ones to and are made by castle creations?? How good is the stock motors or should I upgrade that too?

[elance90]

OK. The stock motors are ok but they are a 27 turn. You should look into upgrading to a 45 turn or 55 turn for more torque. This pic is from today.

[nitroboy88]

That's not fair!! Man I should of next day aired it!! I keep seeing these and the pulling truck I'm gonna start this fall and its killing me!! This pulling truck is killing me cuz I've got ideas but not sure how well they are going to work lol. At least with my trail rig I know things will work.

Why use traxxas when Holmes hobbies makes a waterproof esc and plastidip will wear out over time from my experience I just had flightinstrukta epoxy my first brxl and it looks like the one I got waterproofed from hh. Epoxy is how they waterproof the traxxas electronics.

[nitroboy88]

It's just all in the thought process idk what exactly I'm doing yet with it. I'm just not sure.

[Hydro-Tank]

Here is my new scx10, getting here Wednesday.

[nitroboy88]

That's bad ass is that the terminator?? Lol I like the scale parts in it too.
