| maxstone 5 reworkings
So I picked up a maxstone for dirt cheap basicly I bought a used novak speed controller and 2 rockstar motors and I got a free pile of parts in the shape of a crawler After i hooked it up put my battery's in I turner it on and away it went then bound up in a blanket and snap the axle shaft damb oh well I tested it any way and it sucked donkey doo it did only have 3 wheel drive though so I pulled the foams out took the springs off the front shocks I had some tt02 shocks laying a round so I used d those springs up front it gives me about a half inch of up travel and allot of droop I reworked the links and got the articulation under control and lowered the body posts it works a lot better now I'm gonna go the BBs in the wheels for wait and get the integy alloy gears and replace the shaped Axel shaft as soon as there back in stock anyone have any ideas on after market parts or interchangeable parts or any tricks to make this base platform a better crawler I would appreciate it if I can't get it where I want it I'll strip it for parts I couldn't even get the motors and ESC for what I payed for the whole truck so why not try to work with it Last edited by ferp420; 04-08-2016 at 08:26 AM. |

Punctuation and spelling works wonders to get replies.

I want to know what the hell makes Mike a Nazi for asking for correct punctuation and capitalization? Those things are the road signs to reading our language and are not optional. I'm assuming you went to school, and probably bitched all the way through about such silliness as spelling and punctuation. Why don't you use what you learned? It's just not that damn hard. Write out a complete thought; end it with a period (you know, a dot) and begin the next complete thought with a capital letter. If you ain't smart enough to figure that out, give up on RC. Besides, reading your shit's giving me a headache. |

Gee, that's odd, you have better sentence structuring in this last post, than the mentally handicapped brother-in-law living with me for the last 25 yrs., and much better spelling than your first post, gotcha! |

Poor little Ferpy. Done with the pity party yet? (Note the spelling of "pity.) Next time you quote Mark Twain, get it right: "I never had any large respect for good spelling. That is my feeling yet. Before the spelling-book came with its arbitrary forms, men unconsciously revealed shades of their characters and also added enlightening shades of expression to what they wrote by their spelling, and so it is possible that the spelling-book has been a doubtful benevolence to us." And, while the late Mr. Clemens might have taken liberties with spelling to denote the annunciations of certain characters in his writings, you'll notice his sentence structure is flawless as is his punctuation. And, since you chose to attack me personally, I'll react in kind. You're lazy. That's why you won't take the time to punctuate and capitalize. It doesn't go any further than that. When I do have the stroke you wished upon me, maybe I'll think differently...but, I doubt it. Tighten the hell up. | |

IMO, the OP here should attempt to show a little consideration towards others here following along or offering opinion. Inconsideration is just blatantly disrespectful And it's not that hard to make an attempt at some sentence/paragraph structure while typing some words. If one is too lazy to attempt a proper sentence it doesn't make sense why they're here anyways. This is a people forum / typed interaction... folk sharing their opinions and know how simply for that share. Showing a little consideration to others using a proper type isn't that hard. This forum isn't simply a "show n tell" pony ride. And if rudness is their only purpose in life... maybe they should go elsewhere to do their "show n tell" chit maybe you should type in CAPs too |

i decided i needed to tweek the stone some more i started by cuting the tires a bit not to agresive but it added alot of traction then i changed the springs to internal springs giving it a nice low leval stance and ive been geting hung up on the body so i got the heat gun out and bent the body inward so it looks like boat sides i think its a good look for the stone i went out to the creek and it climed a waterfall thats around 5-6 feet high and is straight up for a good portion of climb ill get a vid as soon as i can clean up my sd card
