Had to make some adjustments...

Ok I took the Clod out for its first session on the rocks... and logs... it didn't do to well... believe it or not it was actually to fexlible!!! It would bend all out of shape and didn't really get over or through much at all... SO... I took it home, fixed my broke servo mount (result of a fall from some rocks) and put traxxas shocks on it intead of those 5 1/2" RC4WD shocks I had some there and put the green RC4WD springs on the traxxas shocks with 20 wt. shock oil (my RC4WD shocks wouldn't hold oil cause the blatters were ripped) well anyway Im takin it out for another crawler tomm. and we'll see how it does, I'll get some pics tomm.

Re: Had to make some adjustments...

Yeah, my truck has about 110 degrees of flex, too much! I limited it to about 45 per axle, otherwise its not even driveable. I still need to get my ESC working though! Then im like almost fully drivable!

Re: Had to make some adjustments...

I'm runnin about 80 degrees of articulation and it seems to work well. Running savage shocks with40 wt oil. only had it out a couple of times but so far so good
