Trail Trekker w/Blade TMC V2 issues

[Watsonst04]

Well just started in the crawler scene, but been into R/C for a while (2-TMAXX, 1- RC10T4, 1 - Mini-T, 1 - mCP, 1- mCPX that's on my work bench now...blah blah blah), but I have a few questions about the setup I have. I bought the Blade TMC V2 chassis the same day I bought my TT. The instructions and are based off a MRC. When I did this set up I had some major binding issues (TT being wider, longer, etc). I have flipped the shock tower everyway and tried every hole possable even drilling some new ones for another angle. I think I got it pretty good now, but just wondering if anyone else has the setup like me (TT w/Blade TMC V2 chassis) and what I could do better? Also on the very bottom on the chassis (Where the motor mounts) I can't seem to get it horizonal to save my life!! On the back I had to put the top links a little higher to releive some stress off the drive shaft for the angle was too sharp. It climbs a lot better now (Blade TMC V2 chassis, LiPo, wide wheel mods (Danally) and the boggers help a lot) then the stock setup. FYI Yes a HiTec servo is in the mail headed this way!! What can I do to make it better?

Well I'm a noob to the crawler scence, but been in R/C for a while (2 - TMaxx, 1 - RC10T4, 1- Mini T, 1 - mCP, 1 - mCPX on the bench now....blah blah blah). Well I bought the TT, chassis, LiPo and Boggers all at the same time (After several weeks on here). Anyways I bought the Blade TMC V2 and put it together. The problem is the instruction are for the McRC and when I did this setup the TT was binded up everywhere. I flipped the shock tower everyway and used every hole I could to make things work. I got it to do pretty good, but just wondering what other have done with my setup and what I could do to make it better. Also the bottom piece (Where the motor mounts up to the chassis) I can't get it parallel to the table to save my life. I had to move the rear upper links up more to give the axles a better angle (Binding up) and I mounted the shocks opposite then the front. Like I said, just trying to see if I can do something better!! Thanks guys!!

It would appear that you need to mount the rear upper links 2 holes farther down on the chassis plate. You may have to mess with the shock mounting positions in the rear. Get more trekker brass ball mounts, they bind less.

Looks great! the only thing i can see that id upgrade would be the motor? lots of choices, i was happiest with a ddt predator 90 t. Great rig man

I agree.

It looks like your riding high in the suspension which is good for clearance but bad for COG. You could cut your springs to run a semi-droop setup to get the ride height down about 1/4-1/2" but, really, Its personal preference.

Awesome Looking rig! I am wanting to build one myself! I was wondering, what wheels are you using in your original post pictures with the TSL boggers on them??? Thanks!
