New Parts old MRC
 
Added some Integy lower links and added weights to the front servo. Easy mods helped a ton on my backyard course. Haven't used this crawler much compared to my 1/10 scale. Now Im starting to dig this thing, it will go almost anywhere the 1/10 scale will. The only issue so far is sidehilling, still working on that."thumbsup"

integy?:roll: you'll be replacing those again sooner or later, probaly sooner.

those balls will wear out in the end and the link will literaly fall right off the ball. and you'll find out why integy is junk.

Those weights look awfully high up. Are your wheels already weighted? If not I would put those weights in the wheels. That will improve the side hilling and lower your CG a ton.

I agree, If it was all crap nobody would sell there products. My LHS sells Integy and stands behind the name. All parts eventually fail, some faster than others. Sometime it could be a bad part from the start, its happened with all brand names that I've had at one point or another.

Looks high in the pic but isn't to bad. Was thinking about wheel weights but it seems like it causes axles to break alot easier.:roll:

wheel weights lower the cog alot u will lose some wheel speed n put more strain on the motor n axles but i wouldnt b that stressd about breakn axles the improvement out weighs the negitive
