Scx chassis swap

[Cpyonker]

The homebrew chassis and skid world be a good platform for you to build from.

149 r/c worx has a skid that will fix you up!

i have done that, but i need to finish it.
i used the stock scx skid and made a trans adapter from losi to axial.

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

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.

Yes, I use Sensored Brushless in all my rigs. I have done TONS of R&D for this and have figured out how to get slow speed "creep" as well as very good wheelspeed.

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!

Thank y'all so much. I am new to RC crawling, and what does R&D and the different classes mean

[snapon boy]

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.

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

here one of mine so far.
the second pic is one version of an adapter plate i designed and had cut out.
i have multiple versions for lcc and lnc transmissions.
