So my first 1/10 crawler is a custom venom creeper

[89lxmorepower]

its kinda stiff when i try that looks like i need to adjust my mesh some on the motor and check a few things

[winnerone23]

Yeah It's an easy fix an a good place to start. Hope to hear it helps..

My rig takes a good amount of force to get it rolling. Definatly does'nt roll freely.
I was told this is normal of crawlers....,is this not the case??

[winnerone23]

I'm not 100%, mine have a little push to them but roll once they get moving. Not a full push the whole time it moves or having to push down on it to keep the wheels from loosening grip. It shouldn't feel like the drag brake is on..

@winner....pm sent....

@28offroader...your rig shouldnt feel bound up...pull the motor and see if you can spin the wheels freely.

Mine actually isnt that stiff it turns with some drag not bad though. I think my problem comes from a loose cvc pin going to fix and well report back.

[89lxmorepower]

Fixed my axle last night charged my lipo pack up going to try it out today and will report back tonight

That sucks bro...sorry to hear...lay offs?

[89lxmorepower]

Nope got tired of being treated like a new guy when ive been there for over five years so got into it with ouor press operator cause i should be the one training new guy for next position when other guy quits not put in lowest position when i have the seniority. So i was told to leave so i left going to find out tommorow whats going to happen.

[89lxmorepower]

Good deal...was the situation resolved...?

[89lxmorepower]

Ill find out tommorow what they came to on this situation but i havent been fired so thats a good sign cause if there were going to fire me im sure it would of been done today not them waiting.

[89lxmorepower]

So im getting a write up and thats all. So on the other hand lipos kick ass down fall spring pins do not make suitable cvc pin replacement which resulted in breaking the pin and chub all at once so its all replaced. So who wants to help me get hr chubs for my birthday next friday lol. So tommorow is back to testing and hopefully no more broken parts cause im on last stock chub and broke.

[winnerone23]

That's awesome... You don't have to sell the creeper! Don't test too hard.. lol.. not crawling is horrible! I went three or four days with my creeper down an waiting for parts. It's no fun, at all!

I had done the same thing an ended up getting 3 days off with out pay.. I know the situation...

[89lxmorepower]

Ya i dont like to play games with people who treat me like shit normally so i had enough> ya i didnt expect to cause that much of blow out earlier but im try to figure a way i can swing getting hr chubs for my birthday next week so i dont do that again.

[89lxmorepower]

So got my creeper out for a good crawl today on the lipo power it now has and did break nothing this time which is good cause next thing to break without a spare means its going to sit for a while.

[winnerone23]

Awesome! Yesterday was a good day for the creeper then! I got out as well! Tho I snapped the threads right of my lcc shock shaft an bent it at the same time! If you need or want a couple extra stock chubs/knuckle pm me.I have a couple, couple sets sitting in a box..

[89lxmorepower]

So i noticed today that after a little while of runniing my creeper that it starts losing its brake ability and dont know why. When first start crawling for like 15 minutes it brakes and holds it on inclines no problem but the more i go it gets weaker and weaker till it dont brake on smooth up hills anymore it just rolls whatever way its facing down the hill. So what could cause this i have a novac rooster esc on a 2s lipo with a novac 55 turn motor and also did this on nihm power to.
