|  setting up a crawler?
ok im not used to being a noob in r/c. ive had over 14 cars on 3 years. all except a rock crawler ( and gay onroad cars) anything from a baja 5b to a micro t... i just want to know what is involved in setup. and what needs to be considered. i currently have an axial ax10 with: HB rovers. blue on front , white on rear ( all weighted) proline 8 shooter rims bent links RC4wd tranny and dig ( dont use dig as i have no 3 ch radio) axial alloy shocks with the tini shafts running probly 80% droop HD steel driveshafts novak rooster esc hpi 45 turn motor 7.4 volt 1500 mah lipo TTS chassis and a digital servo that only pulls 9 kg ( do NOT laugh at me)  haha ( that needs to be changed i know that much!)so what should i consider altering or changing setup... heres my ride   cheers lads  Last edited by savtraxx; 10-22-2009 at 12:27 AM. |

You got a very good set up in there..As long as your rig is smooth enough to handle your terrain then you dont need to alter it.. Not unless youre not happy and want another one, number 16. lol

goes pretty good i guess , im not liking the droop cause the car is always twisting and cause im running 1k oil it sometimes even stays that way and just drives around twisted unless i slam it into reverse... i find that the tire treads roll a little... and i dont think im gona get it but id like alittle more clearence then the car would roll easier...and unfortunataly my driveshafts dont alloy the wheels to extend full droop cause they get to halfway and the driveshafts cant angle anymore... mite have to upgrade them... |

Thats torques twist youre having. Try running heavier oil on rear shocks or 4 link plate at the rear axle.. Im running 70% dropped with 60wt oil on the rear.
