|  New Creeper- Pics
I'm a newb to the RC crawling thing. I have a 1:1 "Crawler" which is actually a Dodge ram truck- not a jeep. I like the scale thing, but I am going to run this around to bash up and learn about the hobby. Specs: 55t Integy motor Traxxas 2019 receiver (freebie) Traxxas TQ control (Freebie) Traxxas XL-5 ESC Futaba S3305 servo (4) 7.4V 6 cell nimh 11mAh batteries (freebies) Hot Bodies white dot rovers (soon to have PL Stage 2 foams) Venom beadlocks MODS: full Venom belly skid modified pro line heavy black springs inverted lower links rear skid removed rear lockout links moved to front side Dodge 1/10 body- Haven't figured out how to mount it yet... Pics to follow soon... I am planning to go to 9.6V 8 cell batteries and a higher torque servo- more oomph from the motor and servo. I don't plan to use the locking mechanism, but I am interested in the dig whenever it hits. What are some other upgrades that will give a good bang for the buck?

cant wait to see how this rig turns out  for more speed you could go with Lipo. cost quite a bit more for the charger and balancer, but its all worth it. i would recommend the Hitec 645 or the Hitec 5645. both great servos, i use them both. Last edited by sheedy126; 07-14-2009 at 08:17 PM. |
