Default XRC 2.2 Comp Crawler

Finally got my 2.2 crawler together, thanks to Xtreme Rc Hobbies. I am very impressed with this crawler as a whole! I have been dialing in the crawler and am still tweeking a few things...any feedback is welcome!

Current Parts:
XRC Chassis
High Clearance Links
Masher 2Ks cut a bit
Narrowed wheels
55t Lather Motor
Stealth tranny
HS-5645MG servo
Shaved axles
Crowd Pleazer body

Want List:
Holmes Hobbies Revolver2 and mamba combo
XRC BTA steering
Custom battery pack, my stick pack sits too high on the servo


Here are some pictures and a video at the bottom:

How much weight do you have in front? It looks like too much to me. Other then that it looks good.

Nice work!

The more I see that XRC chassis, the more I like it!

Bender it is too much, I was messing with some different positions, I will probably move some to inside of the back wheels seeing how the only weight back there is from the esc and receiver. Thanks for the suggestion!

ESC and reciever dont amount to any weight really. I would reccomend going with a different setup on your battery pack- get away from that stick type and go with a cluster pack or axle mounted.

Looks really good... XRC's rock. (i have one too)

On the second little hill there were alot of little like dried up moss patches and the tires would hang on them and rip off until they made contact with the rock face.

Oh yes what a great first body...You can always cover up your mistakes with a sharpie but you can't cover up the sharpie itself

Thanks for the great comments guys!
