Just paid for this rig

ROSS · 03-31-2007, 04:01 PM

nice build, man you took alot of pictures,

TLTCrawlin · 03-31-2007, 04:03 PM

Yeah I plan on keep this for a few days at the most

jk I plan on keeping the XRC til I need a car, and keep the TLT Merc Trials forever!

TLTCrawlin · 03-31-2007, 05:05 PM

I just tried the two black pieces that come with teh TLT and they wouldnt allow flex, so I put these back on, I thought slanted towards the chassis would be better, guess not, this way it goes way smoother.

I got everything mounted and ready, gotta charge pack, ziptie on, and then put the new female jato shaft on, and walla. Ill be set!

Looking good Spence.

I can't wait to beat...I mean check it out tomorrow

I was wondering though, do you have any pics of it?

How much does it weigh? I can't read the scale.

TLTCrawlin · 03-31-2007, 05:23 PM

4.25 roller+ motor, esc and RX are super tiny so 4.4lbs with that + sub c pack. So 4.4lb minus pack and body.

Are you going blind? I think I got plenty of pics

Only thing you are going to be beating is.....Nevermind!

Tanis · 03-31-2007, 05:41 PM

I know, sight goes with age.

Cool, so you will be somewhere around 5lb RTR.

See ya tomorrow.

TLTCrawlin · 03-31-2007, 06:03 PM

4.75lbs total RTR, body batt and all.

My GAY POS XRS switch one of the wires came out, so I bypassed it by twisting the wires and then elec tape, Im going to go solder it tho! bbl

TLTCrawlin · 04-01-2007, 12:55 PM

Took 3rd place first course HEHE!

Barnaby · 04-01-2007, 01:32 PM

How'd that steering set up work for you? Usually that amount of caster will restrict your steering capability.

Damn good deal man. A third place finish first time out and no time to learn the rig, or tweak it is super sweet. Congrats

TLTCrawlin · 04-01-2007, 04:34 PM

Yeah my steering sucked barnbaby, thanks for the tip. This was the first time The first time I turned it on was waiting for my turn to come up!

Tanis · 04-01-2007, 06:53 PM

Yes, it did do well for it's maiden voyage on the rocks. With some tuning and tweaking, it will be more capable.

Good job, Spence.

It's all in the tweaking, 3rd is awesome for a first time with a new rig.

TLTCrawlin · 04-01-2007, 11:58 PM

Thanks

klrp · 04-02-2007, 12:04 AM

Nice rig, good job! Thought those plastic maxx dampers..

LIKES2CRAWL · 04-02-2007, 01:42 AM

Hey Spence try moving your upper front links back 1 and down 1 hole and see what that dose for your steering. Just from looking at it that may work.

TLTCrawlin · 04-02-2007, 02:51 PM

thanks thatll do for now!

Tanis · 04-02-2007, 10:03 PM

Another thing about your steering Spence, that servo horn is kinda on the short side, you can run a longer horn to get more steering.

The horn that is on it is the only 1 I had with JR splines. :-(
