Default First Crawler, First Run
Hi,
After a while of lurking and purchasing I finally finished up my first crawler. It came out pretty well and performed even better, especially due to all the help I got from fellow rccrawler members. Below are the specs and some day 1 run pictures. I ran it with an 87/19t setup while I wait for my 15t pinion. It still rolled over everything. Let me know your suggestions and thoughts.

Black SW2 Chassis
MSD Black Servo Links
Mamba 25
Hyperion z3013 motor
Rc4wd Beadlocks
Masher 2k Tires
Locked TLT Axles
Stampede Tranny
Maxx Drive Shafts
Steel Yokes (2 pairs)
Fat Rock Axle C Hubs
Aluminum Shocks
Aluminum Knuckles
Hpi Baja Body

That is a beautiful crawler, especially for a first crawler.

NEVER sell your first crawler.

and that is one impressive list of parts

Thanks, the controller/motor combo is great and extremely powerful. The motor runs very cool, but the esc can get a little hot running that much power under rock crawling strain, but I wasn't concerned about it overheating.

Next up is a k2-4 scale trail rig with r2 tranny. Probably going to go the Bushwacker or FJ body route.

I'm not exactly sure what it weighs, I'll have to do that, but I think you are asking because of concern for the heat of the mamba. I really wasn't worried about it and should have said that it was hot in comparison to the motor which produced virtually no heat, it's a beast.
