hey i have a 130$ for upgrades for my losi night crawler just dont know what to buy if anybody can help i would appreciate it thanks

[losikid]

Tough...what do you dislike the most about it? Have you drove it much?

Do you already have lipo's?

[dodge12vcummins]

no i dont have lipos what can i do to make a lil faster

[S-towncrawler]

id say a set of good tires and foams..( sedonas are sweet) maybe a pair of bent rear links from dlux

[S-towncrawler]

3s lipos will make it faster if your speed control can handle it and the HD worm gears help alot too

[losikid]

I'd say get

Get some HD wroms and deans plugs from this place ($45)

HD worms

female deans

a pair of deans


(2) 2S Lipo and charger from hobbypartz ($55)

(2) 2s 2200 mah lipo

Charger

a lipo safe changing bag as well to get free ship


Thats $100 and will do you alot of good speed/preformance wise.

Now i say save alittle more money and choose one of these

Nova DD foams and sedona's ($55 plus ship)

Dlux Knuckle weights ($53 plus ship)

Dlux Bent links ($85 plus ship)

Or just rear lower bents ($29 plus ship) I'd suggest the uppers as well


If you get anything from dlux, i'd recommend these as well, and they are cheap to add onto your order

Save till you have enough... but if you must the Lipos first. Also a taller tire will help out. I personally like the HPI Rover Tire White dot (67772) Cheapest is 36 shipped from ckrc http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/67772-ho...ft-p-1323.html

[dodge12vcummins]

thanks for the info i have some proline chisels tires that work alright just ordered some lipos now time to save for hd worms

[Tgreer]

I would wait on the batteries and get an esc and motor combo that will handle 3c. Then you can get batteries for that and have a much stronger rig.

[-NB-]

From my experince the stock servo is crap and should be the first thing you change. my 2cnet.

[dodge12vcummins]

depends, how much money do you want to spend on it? This would be the best bang for your buck,

You can get more toque, but it starts to get super high $

Also if you get a new servo you'll need a BEC

If you want to save afew dollars this servo here will also do good, but 100 less oz of torque

Spend the extra $20 and get the stronger servo, you will be glad you did. I have a JR8711 servo w/ 400 oz/in of torque and wouldn't want anything less. Eventually you will need to change out the stock LNC steering linkage. The JR servo finally turned my drag link into a pretzel.

Buy some VP SLW's and trash the plastic lnc rims. After you change tires a couple of times they all will be stripped out on the lnc rims. Ive changed tires on my slw's a ton of times and ive not had one strip out on me. My 2 cents

the way i have done it on mine was either take a dremil with a cut-off wheel and cut a slot for a flat blade screwdriver or if i need to keep the screw glue the hex wrench into the screw with jbweld or superglue sometimes. ive have changed the tires on my lcc wheels a decent number of times and i have softer aluminum screws and rarely round them out, the key is to have a quality hex wrench (not the included one) and to not crank them down hard as its not needed.

Your cranking down on them WAY to hard if you are stripping out the wheels. I've probably change tires 20+ times. Only once i've had a bead pull on me, but i don't think it was in to begin with (first time i mounted boss claws).
