New to crawling saying hi!
 

Hello everyone, my name is Everett, I am new to crawling and shopping for my first rig! I live in new albany and plan to start going to meets, comps etc to get an idea of what kind of rig I plan on building!

Hey man, welcome to the forum, I live in new albany as well. There are several of us around your area.

What kind of rig are you shopping for? Comp crawler, scaler?

Welcome to the forum enjoy all the fun you will have crawling

I plan on going COMP. This is my shoping list so far!

Axial AX10 Kit
Spektrum DX3R Radio
Goat Brushless System
Novak Goat Crawler Brushless ESC
18.5-Turn crawler sintered Brushless Motor
Hitec HS-5955 TG

I was wondering what else I will need to purchase, I plan on purchasing various aluminum parts etc for the AX10. I also need to know what I need to purchase to have my truck powered by Li-Po.

I live just out of N Albany near Morse and Hamilton. I would save the cash from the goat system scrap the axial and buy a MOA set up {motor on axle} and run brushed. I think that the Berg is the best option but thats just me. That will give you a heavy duty rig that you can spend your time driving and not fixing.

Your best bet would be to come out to a tuesday night comp:

There are alot guys with different trucks tocheck out and everyone is willing to help out. I think 6:30 is the new get together time but we will be there till near 11 so stop out and pick the guys brains.

Are there any dealers for BERG crawlers near us, I live just down the road from you off of Harlem road!

No but TCSCRAWLERS.COM has them on sale right now [look under "Enroute"]. I had great results with the stock kit. The only change you will want to make to start is a different set of rims that will narrow your stance. Stock will work but leaves you a bit wide. I like the Mehem Berg rims you can find them in the vender section on this forum. It is a sweet truck.
