Default First crawl

Ive had first "real" crawl i mean i went to a place where was like couple of stone made steps with 1 meter of grass between each, it wasnt tall like 30-40 cm of height, and it was great fun.



these are first pics that are not posed, it crawled there, i know its not much of serious crawling but it was fun, effect broken servo horn, bent servo mount ( the one i made ), i was running on cheap nikko 9,6 V battery 650 mAh, and got about 25-30 minutes of running, it was great, now i have to make new servo mounts, the stock ones suck and the servo slides from side to side in them. Any help in making a good servo mount?

There's an entire thread of servo mounts. I'd also recommend zip tying your servo wires to an upper link. That way they are protected from rollovers and stuff.

Check it out and fab away. Badgers latest creation seems to work very well.

Oh and I like how your drag link is not even attached in the top two pics.
