Night Crawler upgrades.

[alaskancrawler]

We rebuilt the shocks. Went with 42 weight in the rear and 35 in the front. White springs on the front stock on the rear (only cause we cant find red ones up here). Set ride height at 2.5 inches. Hot bodies rover white dot, 10oz in front 6 in rear, two stage foams, axial 8 shooter wheels, lowered body a ton, out boarded rear shocks, lowered upper links to bottom hole in rear, raised front upper links to the top hole,removed lights, 7955tg steering servo, goat 2s system. Works amazing went from teens to negatives in one week.

So far i have Hb rovers with 4oz/front none in the rear, rc4wd narrow aluminum beadlocks(gotta all of them new for 40$), jr ds 8711 steering servo(408oz torque), and the trans on its way, then i think i'm going to go with the goat 3s 21.5t brushless but will see how it works for now......oh ya and i put traxxas tmaxx springs in the back, and dyndta i did go to freddies it was alot of fun, you going to the crawl space in beaver pa on the 17th, you should try to go, its a great place with lots of great people.


Well i have to go to work so i'll talk with you guys later this afternoon,

I GOT DIG NOW!!!!!! oH YA HERE I COME, WATCHOUT LOL



lCC DIG, CC BEC, AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW IT STOCK NIGHTCRAWLER DRIVESHAFTS. CANT WAIT TO GET IT ON THE ROCKS

[dynedta]

Banshee watch out for trans bind with those shafts!

[BansheeManiac]

thanx i eliminated it with longer upper links= better pinion angle

[dynedta]

Nice how long did you go?

[BansheeManiac]

well it seemed the rear was the only shaft that was putting strain on it, so what i did was took off the stock upper links, went down stairs and took of the front pushrods off my revo 2.5r(its in pieces ATM). then i put thos on and Whalla problem solved. and man do they look fly.


Now all i need to get for it is a goat 3s system. lol

[BansheeManiac]

i'll show you at the comp sunday, you plan on going? right.

[LDogg]

Is it because the driveshafts are slightly longer? I wonder if you could take a dremel to the one end, and shorten it a tiny bit....?

[NorCalScaleCrawlers]

here are a couple pics from my comp

[NorCalScaleCrawlers]

let me know what you think

[Zimm98]

Good pictures, It cool to see the lnc out on some real rocks. I got mine for xmas and have only been able to run it on our sculpted indoor course.

[NorCalScaleCrawlers]

gotta start somewhere or otherwise cant get good i ended up getting 6th with 88 points that days because i didnt have LIPO

[Zimm98]

Lipo is nice if you get one small enough you can eather mount it on the servo or on the links, or make a try like what is on the LCC, it is nice to lower the CG. It is amazing how comp worthy the lnc is though, I have done well at 2 small local comps with mine. My biggest problem right now is I have a bad tranny gear that causes it to strip on minor obstacles (new one is on order from the LHS).

How do you "out board" the rear shocks? Sorry for the newbie question.

I've replaced the stock motor with a Titan 21t with the stock 20t pinion,big diff. in low end torque and ground speed. Jr sport servoe(240 oz), waiting on the Goat 3sand added 5oz to each front and 3oz to each rear.

I've also put on a VW body... sits up high on the chassis but thats because I didn't want to cut off the fenders. Looks alright.

[missions1]

to outboard the rear shocks is easy were the shock fasterns to the axle move it to the outside of the mount and put a spacer in the middle were the shock was

[Champy]

Thanks missions1, simple mod,can't wait to try it out.

[missions1]

no problem it seems to make a huge diffreence when climbing seems alot more stable
