1/16 grave digger

[alterchristopher]

I just got one used. I'm a huge digger fan first thing I did was make it 4wd, much to my wife's surprise she looked at me like this then shook her head and left lol. Anyway I have been looking for any good tips or tricks for this little guy. I know it's the same as a mini summit but I'm just not finding much any one got any tips for me or weak spots I should look out for thanks

I haven't done anything to mine, I got one for my son in the Spring and he has beat the hell out of it all summer and nothing has broken. Only I can advise is get the "Y" cable to run two batts together and buy as many extra batts as possible. The suckers are fast too!

Thanks found out the stock servo is weak but I love this thing I'm going lipo but other than that I'm leaving it stock

These trucks are a riot lol I have had mine since the spring, sold it and just bought it back for a winter rig, I left mine 2wd for now but also going lipo and paddles

[alterchristopher]

Update so far only broken part is the servo compared to my mini lst this thing is bullet proof

Anyone lock the rear diff in one of theses things yet it has quickly become my favorite basher and actually crawled much better than I thought it would with a locked rear it would do better and be able to do dounts better I just don't want to start braking stuff

Is it just the motor geting hot or dose the esc get hot as well ? See if I can help some if the motor gets to hot and the ecs is cool then you are under geared (the pinion is to small or spur is to big) if the esc gets hot and motor is cool then you over geared (spur is to big or pinion to small) hope that helps

I have an old school stampede 2wd that I used super glue to lock the rear diff in. It didn't really affect much in the handling dept, but it did crazy things in a rollover if your finger is still on the throttle. Every time a rear wheel hits the ground it will shoot off in a different direction. Loads of laff's.

I got my son one of these and want to make it 4wd. Any one have a parts list for making this mod.
