Makes this chassis look bad, I need some red rocks!

BTW: This is my first attempt at crawling EVER! besides a 1:6 nylint which gets stuck on gravel!

FrankyRizzo · 01-20-2007, 09:02 AM

I wouldn't use it for a promo video.

If I come across any piles of wood I will just drive around them.

shocker · 01-20-2007, 09:29 AM

lol, maybe you should try adding more weight to the front axle

TLTCrawlin · 01-20-2007, 09:46 AM

Im going to do that Shocker (battery right side of truck [balance out]) then put lead on the wheels outside, and some on the front axle!

or,crawler · 01-20-2007, 05:36 PM

You make JB's chassis look horrible! Glad to see you FINNALLY(sp) chose one to stick with, no pun intended.

TLTCrawlin · 01-20-2007, 05:52 PM

Shut up or,crawler. Its my first time crawling, and crawling over wood is hard than it looks with geos!!

traylor4x4 · 01-20-2007, 06:34 PM

Trust me you DO NOT NEED RED ROCKS get masher 2000's and be done with it

TLTCrawlin · 01-20-2007, 07:00 PM

scuzzy51 · 01-20-2007, 08:22 PM

or,crawler · 01-20-2007, 08:51 PM

Why do you need bigger than mashers?

traylor4x4 · 01-20-2007, 09:13 PM

trust me dude I have jb's old pimp slap with mashers and I would eat that wood pile for lunch and IMO red rocks flat suck for crawling

quattros · 01-20-2007, 09:19 PM

I fell dirty watching a pimp play with wood, dude get a rock

Norcal crawler · 01-21-2007, 11:43 AM

I think it is pretty good considering it is your first time crawling. I have seen other videos of crawlers on wood and it isn't that easy.

Highmark · 01-21-2007, 11:45 AM

Hell I'm impressed it didn't vault itself over being that it's on carpet.

TLTCrawlin · 01-21-2007, 11:53 AM

Thanks Norcal,
I know quite a bit about TLTs, but im use to fast bashers, and mudders.
or, crawler I want extreme-hobbies-rc.net 's red rocks that are modded. I will probably not run red rocks, but I dont know!

insanerc · 01-21-2007, 02:46 PM

From the looks of the vid your tires are certainly suspect. I would go with the Mashers also if I wanted to do some serious crawling. They will not only get you over that wood but work great on the rocks also. A little more front bias with the weight may help you also. If you high center a lot you'll never get a good crawl.

Seriously spencer, DON'T GET RED ROCKS!!! Get some mashers, mine crawls so unbelievably good with mashers.

Tanis · 01-21-2007, 04:56 PM

I would have to agree on the redrocks, they look cool but you have to do a lot of tuning to get them to work. I tried and tried on mine, they work good on some stuff, but as soon as I bought masher 2k's, I was totally happy. The compound isn't as sticky as mashers and the sidewalls are real thin. I ripped a long slice in mine when I caught it on a sharp rock.
The mashers do everything the RR's do and then a whole lot more. Just my opinion, some people on here have got them to work for them, but I was not successful.
