Garry · 03-14-2011, 05:43 PM

Ya shes a few years old, it was my Grandfathers.

ghtpdm5 · 03-14-2011, 05:45 PM

just proves its a good product, mine won't last long

Garry · 03-15-2011, 04:18 PM

We're having so much fun putting this thing together we all most for got to show off the new paint job. Dynamic Hobbies painted it for us and Dakota loves it. He says he is just goning to drive it slow so he wont scratch it.

But I dont think that will last long.

Thats it, what do you think?

Garry · 03-27-2011, 12:10 PM

We got everything else to put the rig together. We got the ccbec, servo, gold springs, non-slipper gear and aluminum servo mounts.

We are working on it and will get some more pics up soon.

The best part is the snow is almost gone and its warming up nice. So we will be going out to find some new crawl spots to try it out.

Garry · 04-06-2011, 07:13 AM

We tried it out in the house and as soon as its under load it stops and squeals. With no load it works great. I am running a MMP, 3S 1300mah and 13T pinion. Could it be the motor, I got it with a sedan I bought a while ago. Its a 17.5 LRP. I am sure all the esc settings are right but will check them again.

Garry · 04-06-2011, 07:40 AM

This thing has no power. I can hold the car in my hands and run it at full power and touch the tire to my pants and it will stop it from spinning right away. On the carpet it does not have enough power to move its self when the wheels are turn't to the right or left, even at wide open throttle it stops.

I have a ccbec wired from the battery to the servo (7.4v) and just the signal wire in the receiver could that be the problem?

untchabl · 04-06-2011, 08:31 AM

Have you checked the slipper clutch? Could be the issue.

relic68 · 04-06-2011, 08:49 AM

Tighten up the slipper for now, then go get the slipper eliminator gear from Losi.

flyinfatkid · 04-08-2011, 01:36 PM

mine went out dont know why? the green light just not there anymore. SAVE THE RECEIPT!!!!

Garry · 07-14-2011, 04:39 PM

Its been a long time since our last post. Life gets crazy sometimes!

Thanks for all the help and kind words. Dakota and I have been crawling. I figured out that the lack of power was a bad lipo and the way the voltage cut off works in the ESC.

. I will post up some new pics soon.

Garry · 07-14-2011, 05:16 PM

we put a new losi 21.5 and a 14T pinion in place of the LRP17.5 The losi is a much nicer motor.

Garry · 07-14-2011, 05:22 PM

Heres a pic of my new body....

S-towncrawler · 07-15-2011, 10:44 AM

are u sure thats a crawler motor? the losi usually says crawler on the can. i had a 21.5 turn that didnt say crawler on it and same thing. started squealing after about 20 min of driving think i fried it or sumthin

Its not a crawler motor. I have used a 17.5 Losi in my crawler for a long time with zero isuses.

Garry · 07-16-2011, 02:31 PM

I was out today making our new playground. Dad had a friend get him some FREE fill.... He was not happy about the rocks in it (but we are!)
Here are some pictures.....

this is it so far. Most of the rocks are realy big.

I will do more later or on sunday and put up more pics.

Garry · 07-16-2011, 05:33 PM

Got out with my rig tonight and the gears went out of the front end

Will order new HD gears on monday.

Garry · 09-04-2011, 07:45 AM

When I turned the esc on today it did not act normal. The servo was jumping back and forth and the esc fan was just twitching with no forward. I run a cc bec on the sreeing servo only and esc is in the rx to power dig servo. I tried a few things and it stopped and worked normal after I unplugged the dig servo. It never done this before- why now?
When I plug the dig back in I does it again.
