| rschoi_75's Night Crawler SE
I recently got a nice deal on a Night Crawler SE, and have been putting her through her paces. It's not too bad all stock. Major issue being the high center of gravity, but other than that it's a decent crawler. Here are the changes I've done so far: - Generic 25kg waterproof servo - Duratrax deep woods 1.9 pre-mount. *The pre-mounts seem to work well with the light weight of the Night Crawler. Duratrax C3 pre-mounted wheels are super soft, and the side walls tend to crumple under heavier trucks. They do fine with the NC. - Swapped out the receiver for a spektrum SR210 to use with my DX5 rugged. - Removed all the scale accessories from the chassis. - Ordered some adhesive weights to add on the front axle. |

Nice job so far, rschoi! I've been doing some similar mods to the LNC SE I bought for my son. I agree, these vehicles do crawl pretty well as delivered, especially if you're used typical truck-type crawlers like I am (SCX10/10.2, TRX-4, and so on). The SE even out crawls my Wraith out of the box. My only gripe is that it seems like a lot of the upgrade parts that used to be available for the LCC/LNC have been discontinued. There's still stuff out there if you ask for help though like I did. |

Thanks! I've been enjoying this crawler a lot recently. It brings back the nostalgia of driving my old venom creeper, except the NC is a lot more capable. On another note, I decided to go down the "monster truck" route with this one with 2.2 bully tires and an old redcat E10 body. * The E10 body is convenient because the pre-drilled holes line right up with the NC body mounts. I'm pleasantly surprised with the way it crawls & looks now. |
