Thanks pete

Looks good, but whan you said KTM-based I thought it would have more black and sliver with the orange.

When you are done with your paint job, back it with black so it looks better where you can see through the windows and fenders.

It helps "define" the paint job if you know what i mean.

Look through the fenderwells here and you'll see what I mean.

I say run it!!

It also because I like orange. Here´s a pic of my bruiser (work in progress)

Colour looks nearly the same.

Right, but then for a final coat spray the black. It's just my opinion, but the job looks more finished that way.

frank400 · 03-07-2007, 05:26 PM

does the black show threw the light and pearl colors??? If not I'll try it out on my next job.
Thanks Frank

It won't effect the outside colors.

I usually use light colors backed with silver and then backed with black to finish.

cool ...I'll try it on my next one.
Thanks

If you are running two servos, you must get another electronic item, otherwise, you will damage your ESC. Check crawlerstore.com and look under electronic and see what you need for ESC with two servos.

loanshark · 03-08-2007, 06:26 PM

You need a voltage regulator, that is what you need. Check this link out:

Stop giving out bad advice, the tekin rebel 2 has a 5 amp 6 volt bec. He's fine.

I got my rig all running tonight , and wow this thing is fun ...climbs everthing. I got a new 2007 chevy silverodo body I'll be painting this weekend.
Thanks everyone for all the help.

awesome build, minus the electronics and battery how much do you think you spent?

frank400 · 03-22-2007, 03:09 PM

right off the top of my head at least $375+...
Thanks Frank

ned rules · 03-24-2007, 11:03 AM

Did you have to use a voltage regulator?

frank400 · 03-25-2007, 06:10 AM

I got a lot of good feedback back from other crawlers that the tekin 2 will handle the 2 servos.
