I did more to the electronics tonight. I'm notoriously sucky at getting my electronics tidy It's my chassis set up failing every time. My Creeper now looks like a spaghetti factory just pooped all over it and I haven't finished yet... | |

| I really like this approach, and I'm doing the same. Not really sure why, but I just want to see what it can do right out of the box...I'm just venting the wheels and adding some weight. I'm sure that will just be the start of the modifications, but I want some sort of reference.

(I believe) Out of the box a Creeper would spank a bog stock AX10, but if you do what I did and turn up to comp on kit tyres you may be disappointed.

Yeah I'm not too impressed with the tires just from holding them...Once the budget opens up I plan to grab a new set of Rovers and Nova foams, but not until I get some run time on these. I'm not too excited about these wheels either, so I'll either machine a set or PM Reflection for a set. | |

Of the "included in kit" plastic beadlocks out there, I was impressed with the Creeper rims. I however have a major distrust with plastic crawler rims and have slipped those Hot Racing wheels on to make do until my DNA Thrashers arrive (which may fit with 3/4" extenders). Currently, with those HR rims it's 11" wide I'll keep the kit tyres for my 1/6th Jeep build. They make a kind of faux Baja Claw look-a-like. |

A box o' DNA Thrashers arrived to day. With the help of some 3/4" wideners, perfect fit with an overall width of 10 3/8" including tire bulge. |

Thanks. If you follow the drilling template in the instructions, the body ends up way to high and far froward... for me, anyway. Hence the Proline sticker covering the original holes |

Whatever happened to the Hobbywing combo, and what was it? (ie. eZrun 2200 w/60A esc perhaps?)

It was a 1200kv/35A jobbie. I found it got a good case of the coggings going on at low throttle input. To be expected with a sensor-less in-runner. The brushed motor just gives a smoother bottom end. Although, it might change again. The 45 on 3S is a rocket Might slip in a 65 if I get trigger happy next comp. If I has wheel speed, I will use it. |

I agree, brushed motors are the bee's knees on the low end... You should try a low kV heli outrunner motor, and crank the ESC's advance to the max setting with medium punch and low expo... Works in my micro, so i'm gonna try it on my Creeper... My ideal setup would be a HH 10T Cobalt puller on 3S lipo... Creeper would probably do wheelies !! |
