So ive been running my creeper hard past few days and almost got all bugs worked out. I do have to same im glad i bought my creeper best bang for the buck i spent but i think the almost 8 ounces of weight in each tire isnt helping me much on down hills but other than that it climbs damn near anything. Only main thing that may become an issue is it seems some screws on a couple bead locks are stripped out or pretty close to so i need to find another set of wheels but i will have more pics up this week maybe tommorow.

Try some 2-56 screws for the beadlock before buying new wheels.

Ya i like my zone lol its all my area no one else i works with does rc cars or crawlers so its all my area i change rock placements from time to time but that hill side super trail is nuts its easy to make a slip and roll or go wrong way or wedge a tire under a rock lol.

Go to the local hardware store or find a cabinet store and ask for some course thread button head screws...theyll probably be phillips head but the course threads will bite the plastic wheel material better...you may have a high end wood working store in your area that has screws and materials for people who make like jewelry boxes and small wood containers like that..they will have small wood screws...other wise the local home builder's store should have small brass or steel wood screws...just get ones that are as small as possible or as close to the same size as the M2 screws you have now. Screw them in easy and use a dab of blue or red loctite on them.

im going go talk to my lhs owner cause when i had my mrc he recommended ra glue you fill hole screw the screw in let dry and there rethreaded like it never was stripped. Also shaved lower mounting hole on my pumpkins saturday and that helped alot to one less thing to get hung up on.

[89lxmorepower]

in a couples im going try and go lipo and upgrade front c hubs and knuckles to hr peices but for now i drive it lol

[89lxmorepower]

So i got my shock parts from rmdesignworks today and man did he hook me up got 4 built stock creep shocks and enough stuff to build 9 more thanks tom.

[89lxmorepower]

So i built a few more shocks this morning made a temporary crawl course in my front yard from some walnut rounds and river rock the had a driveshaft set screw come loose after months of abuse so i redid the lock tight no biggie. Also had a rear lockout that kept coming loose from one screw no really wanting to tighten so i put some locktite in there put screw back in and now its curing overnight in front of the heater hoping that ends loose lockout for a while.

[89lxmorepower]

So tommorow i will be meeting a fellow rc crawler member and doing a trade to get me a duratrax oynx 230 charger then i have everything to go lipo i cant wait

[28offroader]

You're going to love the lipo's! Smaller, lighter, better run times and mo powa!
I wish I would've converted sooner than I did.

[89lxmorepower]

so i got my oynx 230 charger today going to switch my creepers rooster esc to lipo mode and make sure my lipos charged up and give her a run. So i noticed that last few days ive been running my creeper that my novac 55 turn is getting very hot like cant touch it hot is that do to tight of a gear mesh?

[winnerone23]

It's caused by that or any part of ur drive train that has some bind to it. Gear mesh is a pretty good part of it tho. With ur rig sitting on a flat surface.. push it by one tire, it should roll pretty easy..
