Yah the hexes fit really nice. I am going to try heating them to see if that softens them up just enough to get them to go straight.

[winnerone23]

How are you goin to heat them? Boiling water? May have stock wheels to get rid of as well... Pm me if so

I have a heat gun for airplane covering. Temp goes up to 450. Should be enough to warp them I hope. OR ill just get your wheels. Either way its good.

Just got my new axles and servo gear in the mail. They both do not even look close to the original. For the axles the colors and quality is way better and the servo gear at first I thought they sent me the wrong one it looks so different. I guess thats a good thing. Means they are constantly updating to get better quality, or send the people who bitch the good stuff so we shut up.

Glad to hear ya got the axle shafts , and that was pretty fast for the servo gear too. Build driver .

Not going to change the rear axles, as I havent gotten the titanium ones yet. Did a little to it but until tuesday I will not have much time to get it together anyway.

Went crawling with my son today. We had a great time even though my wheels wobble lol. I need to find different shocks though. The ones I have are way to stiff. I have a set of venom brand shocks(not for creeper just venom brand) and they are similiar in toughness so Maybe I am going to have to cut some springs.

[remmuh]

These are the ones I put on my Creeper. They may not be your first choice but for the price you can't go wrong.

Yah these are the ones I have. I had integy on but I put these on and they are way better then the integy. Adjust them a bit and I think they will work well. Only thing I dont like is they are a bit long.

[mgputer]

Went crawling with the new shocks and damn is it nice in comparison. Integy might be ok scaler shocks as I see alot using them but I want a scaler that can crawl well as well so I am going to put them on classifieds or ebay I think.

[89lxmorepower]

Pm me how much you were thinking asking for them i might be interested i need stiffer shocks for my pig

[mgputer]

Here are some pics from me and my son messing around Jumping the ramp. No action shots. Just some posers as my 4yo doesnt take pics to well lol.

As you can see I have added some decals and moved the esc under the hood. Going to move the battery next and make a opening hood so I can get at the battery.

Thanks! Still more to come. Interior and more scalish tires like TSL Super Swampers or Boggers. Or maybe some RC4WD Pitbulls.

[89lxmorepower]

Thanks man.

I got my titanium axles on today from CREEPERBOB and they are tough as hell. I'd recommend everyone with a creeper should get them!!! I was out Jumping the skateboard ramp catching like 6 foot of air and landed on one wheel in the back a few times and it is still straight and not broken. Great job on the axles Bob!!!

I got some used wheels and tires from Winnerone23 and I am going to polish them up and remove the anodizing then put them on. Will be black inside with polished rings. Should look sexy I think!

Now I need to save some pennies and sell a few things on ebay to get some front and rear trusses from Thomas and I think the BTL kit and a BEC and maybe some foams. and maybe some beef tubes.......so many things to get. So much fun!!

[CREEPERBOB]

Thanks Matt for the good words, and I'm glad you liked the axles, I never thought about 6 foot jumps, good testing , I know my rig has takin' some pretty tall and hard falls and has survived well.

Awesome deal on the wheels getting there! I'll be looking forward to seeing them in the pics.. rig looks sweet! Ti axles sound like the way to go, I just won't be doin 6 foot jumps with mine.. unless its down off the side of a rock ledge! Which I tend to crawl more often then I should.. I have two sets of spare axles tho so I don't worry bout breaking stuff...

Yah I usually don't do that kind of jump but my bro was over with his revo and I had to show off a bit lol. After I got my spare set from Venom I now have 3 spare sets so I am not really afraid either! After I get my trusses and beef tubes maybe I will try a 4800kv brushless and a 12ft jump? lol

Put my 27t in today and went crawling with my 13yo this mornin. What fun. 27t is ok but I wish I had a 35t and a 3s esc. We are going to go over by my mothers place this afternoon probably so we can climb her rock pile. Will bring the camera and see if I can get any action shots.

Trying to figure out which ESC and motor combo to get next. I want one that will run 3s on a 35t motor. So far the best I could afford would be the FXR with the HD 35t for $130 or the Novak Eiger with Rockstar 35t for $120. They seem similiar as far as stats. The only thing I am curious about is reliability. Seems Novak is less reliable then Tekin. Is this true? Which ESC/Motor combo would you get?

Thanks in advance.
