Masonis1's project creeper

[asw27x]

ok im going to make some suggestions

first i would say take your rear shocks and put them in the front and the fronts and put them in the rear
My reasoning when you do a steep climb the fronts will extend and then the cg goes up when you witch them u wont have that as bad

second i ran a hitec 7954 in my creeper with the first btl plate and loved it but for me it didnt have the power that i wanted (even at 7.4v i comped with it) and if your going to get a clamping servo horn i suggest the gh racing ones because i have one and love it (its on a 7954 on my xr-10 right now) but i personally for me in a comp crawler its just not enough i want like 500oz i stall my 7954 all the time i would of gone for the 7950 if i had the chance

and if you havent i would say shorten your front upper links so that the top knuckle screw is just past vertical pointing towards the motor the steering will work better as well

I can switch up the shocks..

X2 on that info! My front axle is setup that way an works great, even with the 333oz cs-170.. which I just pulled off earlier today.. cause my 7950 showed up! Now for the rc4wd xvd, HR aluminum chubs an knuckles, an homemade battery protector all to go on with it... Yay, more building!

And why won't you spend $70 on a chassis or $40 for trusses? Do you think it's overpriced?
The r/c hobby is'nt a cheap hobby. I was actually happy that I could fully hop up my creeper for around $250. Compared to my other r/c's the creeper is by far the cheapest.

[masonis1]

Well considering im going to have to start paying for gas. "3.85" insurance "150 a month". Ya so...

That's life bud. Gas here is right around $4.15 for the cheap stuff. I put $115 in my tank the other day and it did'nt even fill it. Add in 12-14mpg, 100 mile commute, that's around $35 a day just to get to work and back.
It sucks for sure but it is what it is. Just save your $$ and buy things when you can.

[masonis1]

Yep. Well hoping i can save enough so i can get a better truck than my 1995 ford f150 hah so ya...

Buy a chevy. They get better gas mileage then these damn fords, lol. I have a 2005 F150, my brother has a 2008 1500 sierra, he gets easily 4-6 mpg better than me, same as my dad with a yukon xl. It's sickening..

[89lxmorepower]

[masonis1]

I cant stand chevy or ANY GM product. They are ugly as hell and i hate all the computer stuff. I want a truck i can work on.. something you dont need to be an electriction to fix...

So i gotta tell yall what has been going on lately. So i traded my mini revo for a brushless probaoat miss geico with 2 2s lipos. I put the 3s in with the mini so i dont have a lipo for the crawler. I will try the crawler once i get the lipos with the boats. Should be fine. But, the MG should go around 50 mph so should be good. Also, ive been running my 1/8 truggy and i remember what i love it for. Hah. Its great. I also need to get a new esc for my rc10. I was maybe thinking of making an adapter for my truggy 150a esc to be on the rc10. Might work good. But then my custom build boat is up and running. Runs great on a bad battery. Should fly with the 2s in series. So after all that, you might understand why i havent been on here in a while. Oh and sports such as wrestling, pole vaulting and working out. Hah so yep. So.... Lets see. What can i do on the crawler

[masonis1]

So just git my crawler working again. Putbservo in and its ready. I need a smaller lip butbitbworks well.
