Cave Dave · 02-13-2009, 04:30 PM

Sweetness Eddie! Sunday is going to be a BLAST. It'll be fun to drive each other's setups and see how they differ.

I was kinda worried about the shocks at first but they seem to be sealed prety good and just need to test some springs out. I'm running the springs that came with them and the single hole pistons with 25 weight oil limited with 1/2" piece of wire insulation. "Thanks Nathan for the tips"

For sure Dave, should be a good time.

I wish I would have bought the CVD's at Hobby Town the other day.:-(

Well "The Midget" had it's first comp yesterday. Going from 20-30 min. of wheel time with a stock rig in the livingroom to a full comp rig build and driving it on real rocks is a big change. The rig performed very well, especialy for the weather conditions we had. I only see improvement with this rig with some more wheel time and some minor....very minor tuning, since it is such a well desinged setup to start with. Thank you Austin for a well thought out setup, I'm very happy with my purchase!

Gatekeeper · 02-16-2009, 11:17 AM

You are very welcome I am glad you like it

rcjunky3 · 02-16-2009, 11:30 AM

nice build thread and good looking rig

JatoTheRipper · 02-16-2009, 02:15 PM

It looks awesome! The more I see this chassis the more I want it...

Drvnbeing · 02-16-2009, 11:24 PM

Hey does your 4 link conflict with your shocks at all? The build looks great!

CrawlinMike · 02-17-2009, 12:50 AM

Deceivingly ingenious idea with putting your original lower links back to good use on the 4 link....Ive been wantin to 4link but was tryin to wait it out for a purpose made mrc 4link kit but not now. I like my crawler to look clean and that my friend looks sharp

Sometimes its the simplist things i miss. Nice build!

LIKES2CRAWL · 05-10-2009, 08:47 PM

Well I haven't messed with it much cause I'm not to happy with the B1-R and I tryed to program a Mamba25 to run a brushed motor and got nothing out of it... I like the size of the B1-R just not happy with the slow reverse and could use a little more wheelspeed in forward too.

I'm open for sugestions or ideas on how to make it better.

Do you have hotwire link ? There a update for reverse.

Where did you buy the B1r? I got mine from Holmes hobbies and John updated it to the newest firmware before he shipped it so mine has full reverse.

Contact Tekin or your Tekin dealer and they should be able to help you out.

P.S I love my B1r/Mini Torque Master combo

That is the Mini GC2 chassis from Gatekeeper! One of the smoothest, most complete, and simple chassis kits I've seen.

I bought it from a club member. I knew it had a slower reverse when I bought it but didn't know it was like 1/4 throtle reverse.

I will be updateing the firmware on it soon and will follow up with my results!
