| re: "New to crawling; what to buy?" Guide It's somewhat specific in that the search includes sizes and I think even the word "Turnigy", although I may add "Wiha" as well. I don't like pointing links to a specific ebay seller or page because a) I could be the seller, which would be against RCC policy, and b) the page will eventually sell out and become useless to n00bs looking to buy a set of socket drivers. ;)

My servo has a stall current of 4A and the 1080 handles it no problem.

It's possible the WP1080 can handle a momentary burst of 4A and yet still be rated at 3A. Some things to consider when thinking about amp-draw are:

2 more things I'll be adding to the basic tools list: Helping hands with magnifying glass $6 on eBay. Servo/lights tester $4 on eBay. Last edited by StomperCrawler; 09-25-2017 at 10:21 PM. Reason: Price mistake |

| Re: "New to crawling; what to buy?" Guide Nice find! With EasyPay that's $76 per month! I wonder if the price will stay down low, or if it's just a Black Friday special? Here's a link if anyone needs it: https://goo.gl/GrdasB Update: you also get a $20 gift certificate for spending $200: https://www.towerhobbies.com/tow_ecash.html Last edited by StomperCrawler; 11-24-2017 at 08:14 PM. |

What's up guys, In terms of a budget crawler, is there anything as good as or comparable to the Redcat Gen 7 Sport that comes as a kit, and that also could be had for $200 or less? The only thing I know of is the ECX Barrage BTD kit, which will be my first crawler. I am now leaning towards the Gen 7 Sport as a run along for my son, but I'd much prefer to build something with him. Thanks again, -MP |

http://www.redcatracing.com/manuals/...GEN7MANUAL.pdf There's also the Tamiya CC01, which less capable and possibly more scale, but keep in mind that with a kit you still need to buy all of the electronics separately, which adds significantly to the overall cost. https://www.google.com.pk/search?q=Tamiya+Cc01+unimog Last edited by StomperCrawler; 12-15-2017 at 07:16 AM.

Sometimes you can find the MST CFX on sale for very close to that price... Check the model-specific threads for all the Tamiya bodies that fit. EDIT : The MST CMX is showing up for around $180-$200, usually with an ESC and motor, but no body or TX/RX or servo. Last edited by durok; 12-15-2017 at 09:42 PM. |

1:1 offroad vehicles - especially short-wheelbase narrow-track 4x4's like Jeeps, FJ40s, SWB Land Rovers, Suzukis, Unimogs etc - also tend to have a high COG. It requires picking your lines more carefully. Witness Consumer Report magazine damning many of them as inherently unsafe! So - I'm not always adverse to having a higher COG, especially on a cheaper vehicle that also by its very nature should be driven slower. They're usually so light it's easy to add just a little weight down low if absolutely necessary. | |
