Default Renegade79 creeper

I took a few more pics tonight so you can see different angles. Im running the Tekin FX-R with matching 55T motor these are an awesome combo , Hitec HS-7955TG steering servo, and DX6i TX. I ordered the remote dif lock kits for the front and back but mine came with the wrong servos in them. I'm still waiting on the right servos from Venom. One of the pics shows the lever, cable, and cable brackets installed on the rear axle. I also ordered another servo plate and another Hitec 7955TG for rear steering. I hope to get the dig unit when it becomes available also. I've added alot of stick on weight to the wheels but I didn't keep track of how much!! I basically put a full loop inside the tire and two full wraps inside the rim. Comments welcome!!

The servo works very well. I am amazed at the strength it has. I have never used JR servo's so I really have no way to compare for you. I would reccommend the Hitec tho!

Curtis & sons ?? I don't know them, I have seen their dump trucks. They have a yard at the south end of town.

How much weight did you put in your wheels for the Venom?

I didn't keep track of how much weight I added. I used the stick-on weights and I put a loop around the outside of the rim and two loops around the inside of the rim. It works pretty good. I went to Oreily's auto parts and bought a box of the stick-on tire weight for $35.00. Much cheaper than the venom weights.
