Starscream's BATTLE FORTRESS!

[aPpYe]

Okay, I promise, this is the last thread I will create on this build. It is actually done! Sort of.

Except for 4WS, the mechanical stuff is all stock. I did wrap balloons around the shocks and a set of knuckle weights are on the way. Electronics I have labeled in the wiring diagram. I am pretty new to the hobby so I started with budget electronics and will upgrade if anything feels lacking. The idea is to throttle and steer each axle individually with a stick transmitter, front axle with the left stick and rear axle with the right stick, negating any need for a dig. I am still going to see if I can get away with not using a BEC. The battery arrives today so we'll see what else I have to iron out after I actually power it on for the first time, assuming I don't burn my house down.

Your rear links are on backwards, spin them 180.

Lol, yeah. I had to do some slight bending to get better clearance for the motor. I removed and replaced them so many times and didn't notice it! I'll rotate them now, but if it messes up my clearance I guess I'll just run them backwards.

Yeah, my 4 year old had a $50 gift card and she got that for me. Prime would of course have been better, but she was really happy to get that for me, so I put it in the crawler. So I guess, "I am now leader of the Decepticons" or some such.
