heres a few recent pics of my build! TRAIL SLAYER ZUKI so far I: put rocksliders custom front shock spacers HR shocks full drooped HS-65MG steering bent in front links more realistic tie rod Boggers (turn perfict with no spacers) metal washer beadlocks aluminum knuckles multiple lipo's and stock batteries and i got a aluminum HR 56t spur thats not installed yet. But first i was wondering how the performance is compared to the stock one? will i lose my power for gunning up dirt hills and those tricky high center ledge sections? o and i got my custom Samurai body w/ everything! sorry not the best pics but... check out my build thread comment.. what you got!

question, do most or all of these mods work for the TT too or just the McRc. like flipping the tranny, cutting or removing shocks, etc. |

For those of you who can do without the headache of manual servo reversing for 4ws on your micros. Use a futaba 3107 micro. They run backwards- Fo Sho!! The spline is a lil smaller but i just modded my saver, ez fix and well worth it!!

Use some servo tape. The stock battery fits between the shock mounts on the rear axle. Just make sure it doesn't hit the shocks when the suspension flexes.

I have skimmed through here a couple times and see people using washers. How are you drilling them? Also I have cut the fuel tank from a 1/24 gto and trimmed it to fit between the rear rails of my TT, the esc fist perfect with a little hot glue. I dont know if it helps but it looks better, I also mounted the battery between the front frame rails. For scale bodies I have found that E-6000 adhesive is great, it holds well but stays flexible it also peels off like rubber cement if it needs to be. I just use dabs of this stuff on my wheels we'll see how it holds up |

Just wondering if anyone knows of a steering servo with a shear pin instead of a saver-type spring?.

The 59T spur from the Micro Rally/SCT fits. There is a thread on here that details what parts you need from the SCT clutch to make it work on the McRC. You will not be able to run a gear cover, but it doesn't do anything anyway. | |

I thought the biggest spur you can put on the Crawler/Trekker is 56t. Without a new motor plate anyway. Yeah, the servo saver is useless unless you are using the cheap stock servo. Sent from my BlackBerry 9900 |

No, you don't need a new motor plate. You should slip in a 9T pinion though.

The fewer teeth on the pinion, the more torque you get. I use a 9/56 combo right now, so I really don't know what fits the 59T.

Thanks Boss, I went back to 10 teeth and its working the way I want it too. Now I just need to find some decent shocks. The units that came with my Trekker are crap. Sent from my BlackBerry 9900 | |

The only option for shocks is Hot Racing.

I've only broken one shock and I have 3 crawlers. I use XMODS springs to soften the ride and they work fine for me, so I never went with the HR shocks. As for the chassis, different people will have different opinions. The only opinion I can offer is to not buy Hot Racing's chassis. Looks cool, but doesn't really do anything for flex or lowering CG. The Blade and Ridgeback chassis are very popular.
