New knucles and cvd's wont do you much good with that servo/steering setup.  |

get some smaller battery packs, the stick sub C pack like that is really messing with the balance of the BMV2 chassis. I run 2/3a 7 cell and it doew not touch the rods at all. What kind of wheel weight are you running?

Went wheeling. Me and my step dad had a little comp at a new place we found. This place has got everything! Isn't really shown in pictures but its awesome. It took some nasty falls and only broke a body mount. I definately need a new servo and some tires, although these tires really did good. The pictures are not that good but just some action for ya. And some stupid little video's of just screwing around. Courses harder than they look     Pictures Down           Me, the ugly kid     Big rock  Vids quality sucks    Last edited by west virginia krawler; 09-07-2007 at 07:10 PM. |

Got everything nice and organized, and i stole the receiver and controller off my t-maxx, so i can have control for a rear dig. O and heres a wedge for the rear axle that Rxcrawler made. Hopefully Monday i can order some knuckles, cvd's, and tires. Heres a few pictures. Organized     |

Updates!!! Well i got my Losi rockclaws and there SWEET! I love them, and i painted some wheels for them, i put like 100 coats of clear coat on them. I also made a rear disconnect. I had a dig setup but i liked the rear disconnect better. I can just hook the rear tires when i want it to turn real good, but the big thing for me is it climbs awesome! And i made a course and used it just 4wd and then rear disconnect and i did a lot better with rear disc. I also got a better servo, i stole it off my t-maxx. But when i was crawlin around my fish pond it rolled into it and fried the esc. So i got to get a new one. I don't want to spend that much, so what do you guys recommend? Thanks and heres some pictures!      disconnected  |

Looks good,you need to do something with your wiring and get a battery pack that isn't on the wire.You need to lose that servo saver and learn to control the steering when its in a bind.Did you but any weight on,in those tires and wheel?

Well i figured that a cheep esc would be a crappy esc. So i decided to put down more money than i wanted and got a Novak Rooster Crawler system. And there water resistant. Has anyone had any problem with them? Thanks! Nathan Last edited by west virginia krawler; 09-21-2007 at 05:23 PM. Reason: i bought a Esc and didnt want to post again | |

u should put the drag link for the steering on top of the kuckles then have a small spacer then the link from that to the servo horn and screw into the middle hole for more torque also upgrade to some better ball ends the traxxas ones are fine you just want something with very little play in them it looks like you havent shaved the bottom lip under the axles that will help a bit widners? i run the tg 10 ones with a small spacer to take up the play and it only widens it 1/2inch just a bit but it helps in off camber situations |
