Trail finder from a land of drift cars Got a craving for a real crawler after I got my summit 2 weeks ago. Just sold the summit tuesday and this is in my hands as of last night. http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...26_2245211.jpg Currently has a 4 link rear, bench seat, lights, winch, all that good stuff. Running into a few problems though as i have 0 idea for the most part about this truck. Do I need to change the rear shocks to a sprung set up with the 4 link? Its currently got the stock ones that come with the leaf springs back there and its really soft and bouncy. Secondly where can I get some sweet bumper/sliders so I dont mess it all up bouncing it off of things? http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...26_2245091.jpg |
Re: Trail finder from a land of drift cars Hi mate, you've just bought probably the best bit of RC ever made. The rear shocks stock are just sprung and not damped. So an easy experiment is put some damping oil and see how you like it. The 4 link set up gives much more articulation. If you opt for leafs again I would get RC4WD's red ones as they are softer than the stock black ones. The sliders which are missing are available from RC4WD's site now so you can easily add them. New metal bumpers and sliders are currently being made by third party guys like Matzilla etc, just read this section for the forum and you'll see em. Just enjoy it mate, they are great.8) |

Re: Trail finder from a land of drift cars x2 ON THE MATZILLA bumpers "thumbsup" http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/rc4wd...l-bumpers.html can't beat the price. The metal bumpers will hold up longer and not flex when using the winch like a plastic bumper would. What kind of winch is it? I am running a 800mah 2s lipo on my winch its the one from RC4WD and came with a remote for operating it. |

The two smaller buttons don't do anything. |
Re: Trail finder from a land of drift cars How do I make the steering rod quit hitting the front leaf springs? Also is there some special method to getting this steering servo in? Does it need to be shimmed up? The servo horn keeps catching the top of the axle. |
You can install the center link on the top side of the steering knuckles over the leafs for added clearance. I'm not sure about you servo horn problem. My servo is mounted so the horn faces the front of the truck and I've got more than a 1/4 in of room between the two at full compression. Maybe post up a pic of the problem. |

160 should be ok, but more is always better. |
Re: Trail finder from a land of drift cars I have the 4 link rear and had the stock dampers but upgraded to the dual coil over shocks. I put 30 weight oil in the stock dampers and saw a little better action from them but they leaked. I also ordered the option heavy weight springs for the stock dampers but with the weight of the battery and accessories the rear was slammed and I didn't like it. |
