149 r/c worx team just released a flat skid with no holes in it so you can drill your own for your losi transmission 149 r/c worx's Team Driver |

YES! Thats ALL I build! Ive been building Losi Worm based scale crawlers since 2009. IMO, Its the only way to go! Ive got a bunch of threads on RCC. Search GiJoe or Mudd'n Militia and you're sure to find some of my rigs. |

The most versatile setup i've found for a Worm Scaler is this: Losi HD Worm Gears (add the grease port and PACK those axles full of CowRC Udder Butter or a similar high quality Moly Grease). Mamba Max Pro ESC (2 pole) 13.5 Sensored Brushless Motor Night Crawler Transmission w/ Hot Racing Metal Trans Gears Castle 10 amp BEC 4S Lipo Team Losi (hardened) 15T Pinion Additionally, I carry a small can of WD-40 with me at all times. Before every run, i spray the driveshaft and axle CVD's and bearings. You must remember, due to the axles having such a steep ratio, the driveshafts will be spinning at least 5X faster in a Losi than in a comparable Ring & Pinion crawler. Hope this helps! Its a Bulletproof plan! I run my scalers in SORRCA Class 1, 2 and 3, G6, TTC and normal trail riding. It Can Be Done! | |

Research and development. I run a similar set up in a losi but use dry pft spray so it won't collect so much dirt. 149 r/c worx's Team Driver |

Here is one of 2 mud trucks that I have made using losi and scx-10 chassis married together I know not crawlers! but thought I would show another option that works really good and cheap and easy to do I do move the trans plate to bottom of losi chassis now to just trim edges and drill holes |
