I've been looking into building a crawler but I dont know where to start or what is the best choice for me. I want somthing strong but with a little speed. ..also money will be an issue....thanx for any help..

very green to the rc world,need any infromation on what to do to give my highlift 350 more power,more battery life,more flex,stronger servos etc....as you can see,i know nothing about this sport.its pretty cool though,airbrushed body,2.2moabs,beadlock wheels,mainly dress up options

visit the 1.9 scale section off of the main forum page.. or search f350 in the search box... theres LOADS of info on here!

which way do i go
 

just got a high lift and want to get the scale look out of it so where do i start? plus what material do you use for the frame rails?

motor question
 

wondering if anybody could help me with a small problem.
i was wondering where the pos and neg posts are on my Integy Lathe Motor 55 Turn Single Wind there is like six spots that look rite but im not sure. :| (pictures would be great)

hello, im using the same motor, your positive &negative should be stamped on the endbell side where you solder wires on. youll see a plus symbol or minus symbol. &solder accordingly. hope this helps. :)

how can i improve my SW2 Bender Customs
 

please help me im a noob i just got it and i dont know how to improve it :/ so if you have any suggestions please contact me

If you can't find the + and - just solder them in place on a tab next to each brush braid. You can control the direction (f-r) by a swith on your controller. On a DC motor polarity doesn't mean much.

Polarity means a TON if the motor uses any timing. If it is a zero degree motor, then it doesn't matter, since brush spring tension and brush compounds should be the same + to - .

Not a pulling or crawling guru, by any means, but i've been around electric motors almost all my life. :)



Note, if you find a + or a - symbol near either brush hood(the metal part the brushes and springs are on) then you can solder to any metal part of the hood with the correct wire and it will work. One entire side is positive and one entire side is negative, both are insulated from each other.

what is a good set of crawler tires:?:

Axial Scorpion RTR conversion
 

I bought a Axial Scorpion RTR to see if I would like the hobby, low and behold I can't stop. I've upgraded the tires to Pro-Line Flat Irons w/mem foam and the chassis has been up graded to the SWX. The chassis looks to narrow for a dig unit. Any sugggestions...

The VF/DNA dig bolts right up to the stock AX10 transmission, which bolts right up to the stock SWX skid plate. Everything should fit fine with a standard lathe motor. "thumbsup"

Thank You for Compiling the Resources.

thanks Bender for the 411. Much appreciated

shocks
 

Once again i'm back for more! With so many different shocks on the market can you give me the low down on adjustable shocks for an axial with SWX chassis (awsome design by the way). Some say Losi and some say Traxx shocks. What should I be looking for when shopping shocks?

posting pictures
 

i thought i saw a thread about how to get pics of your truck on here, but for the life of me , i can't find it. please help. also how to get avatar pics?

i have a set of emberg shocks that i am putting on a wheely king DNA chasis i noticed that it was really stiff when i put the shocks on the chasis what would be a good weight of oil to put in them to soften them up:lol:

im not to sure
 

im not to sure but i think there should be a little a very little + - next to the biggest post on there.

hope that helps!!

That was extremely helpful. Thank you. Noob here from WA!"thumbsup"
