Stupid Ebay!

[MAXIMUS-05RAVEN]

Well just waiting on my crawler to get here, ordered it on the 29th, finally shipped out today from North Carolina so sometime next week I guess but the good thing is it gave me some time to get all the stuff I need so it's all ready to throw in there... (goat 2s 18.5, 14t & 13t pinions, proline 8 shooters, 645mg, Losi mini servo for dig, futaba 3pmx with 2500mah TX lipo on the way, night crawler LED lights and 2-1850 2s lipo's for the crawler). I also purchased the xxx lexan glue to add a couple designs to the body from one of my favorite artists Giger, hope it turns out alright. Also have this flat black Gate Crasher body as a second. I'll post pics of crawler when complete, thanks guys for posting all your trial and error, tips and advise for us newbies saving allot of time and money I should have gone with the goat 3s but will try this setup for a while.

Holding off on the cc BEC after calling Novak and they didn't suggest running it saying they have had allot of people calling in with issues after the install, I'll have to see how strong the steering servo is without it before upgrading. Not going to any comps with it or anything just gonna fart around on some rocks so it should do alright... I hope

gonna be a sweet build! your gonna love the 18.5t goat i just put it in mine made a word of diffrence! good to see your doing your reserch and getting it right the first time!

[benoj]

looks like you have a good list of parts for it, the only difference i would have made was a goat 3s and 3s lipos intstead of 2s

Well it finally arrived... Threw in all the electronics, tested it out and I love this thing, haven't got out to the rocks yet, just farting around the backyard but it's awesome so far. Here's some pics of my setup

wow dude that thing is wicked looking

[mascman]

Nice looking rig.

I personally would have left the lights out and put the money towards a stronger servo, but since you just fart a lot, it should be ok! ;)

[MAXIMUS-05RAVEN]

I can fart if I want to! I do like having the lights on there though, they have a switch so not on all the time. I definitely will be upgrading to a stronger servo, that 645 is not cutting it, thanks for the comments

what's the deal with that awesome paint job? is that stickers, airbrushed, glued on???

[silentcircus]

It's pics from a Giger book glued on and painted over. Looks damn nice too.

Thanks guys for all the comments After searching the forum for servo suggestions I decided to go with 7955tg, picked it up for $100. I think the Goats bec is 6V at 5amps and the servos max draw at stall is 3amps but if I run into lack of power issues or the ESC gets too hot I'll definitely install the CC bec.

Ya their LNC led's, I used the screws that came with the Leds though because they are slightly longer than the stock ones used to mount the battery and receiver trays. They don't come with a switch, I added the switch that came with my 3pmx controller for the receiver (it's mounted on the back of my dig servo) and their getting power from the Goats fan pins.
