I'm real happy with my 35t on 3s.

[R/CMaxximus5.0]

x2 on a brushed setup.

[MrNate]

I'd go 35t and 3s lipo, so you get the low speed control, but still have some good wheelspeed to mess around with. I'm running the CC 5700 in my Honcho and it's fun, but when things get technical, I don't have the smooth start that I need.

I just bought a Venom Creeper to replace my Fail King . Now comes the fun part of putting it together. I now need some advice on the motor/esc/battery setup. This project will take me a bit to put together, so all advice will be read. Thanks in advance and may your crawling days be excellent!

It depends on what ur looking to spend.

Budget wise, Castle sidewinder, 45t motor, towerpro mg995 or PowerHD HD1501MG, 2s or 3s lipo.

3s lipo will give you more wheel speen when u need it without having to gear as high.

Sidewinder will run you about 65-75, towerpro is $10.40 shipped( slow boat from china), PowerHD is about $22 shipped and motor is about $20+ depending on the brand. Lipos can be had for about $10 shipped from china. But I say, just spend the extra on one and get a USA based brand lie thunder power or SPc.com lipos.

I have a holmes handwound 55t in mine with a momba max speed control will be switching to the sidewinder because i will need the momba for another project i up graded the cvd and locked the lockers with the flm lockers rc4wd cvd. I elimanated the stock shocks and removed the mounts and bolted to the top link went with a 4 inch shoch soft to medium springs and 40wt oil it is a great kit to go off of it crawls very good you wont be dis appointed just lock the axles.

Cool, I was crawlin with Kaspers Creeper on Sun. It crawls pretty damn good!

Now it is time to turn the CK into a trail rig now

[Satan6907]

HMMMMMMMM


Ordered a bucnh of stuff from mcmasters.

5 ft of black delrim 5/16 rod. its solid core.

Also an alum plate so I can make my cutsom trail truck chassis.

And a ton of hardware. I ordered Stainless but one guy was telling me I should have gotten the black oxide stuff.

I dont know if I should send the SS back and order the lack oxide or just eep the ss.

[TrailDawg362]

Sometimes the cheaper grade of SS is softer than the steel black oxide stuff, but unless you're really gonna crank on 'em you should be OK. I get my SS hardware from Grainger, still way cheaper than the LHS.

[Satan6907]

well I went though and where the black oxide was cheaper i am going to send the ss back and get it in BO, other wise i am keeping the ss.

now I just need the body so I can begin the build.

[kasper]

Ibought all stainless most work great but then theres always a few that are bad.

[scootertrash]

I just got word and a peek of my club's new decal's and they are sweet as hell too' - now I need to know how many to order up for Kasper' - I'll PM' you Chief and send ya' a email showing you the sample's and what size their going to be done up as - I got alot of fella's to PM' tonite and get an Idea as to how many to get - and I'll have a price as soon as I get and order made up - It would be best to get these decal's either from kasper' or me - Scoot'er

Where did you get the lockers from? I found the cvd's in a couple of places, just not the lockers.

there is a locked or open selector right on each axle.

[Modean74]

I was wondering who could help me paint or advise me on painting my new rig, when I get to that point. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[Modean74]

I found the lockers, I was not looking at the right site. I hate the inter web sometimes.

[TrailDawg362]

Wash the body with dish soap and water, rinse well and dry. Make sure all window masks or tape is sealed at the edges. Warm up the rattle can in hot water from the tap (increases pressure in the can ), Go with several light coats, allowing dry time inbetween. Most importantly, have PATIENCE! Back your main color with white or silver. Peel and enjoy.

[Satan6907]

Have either Kasper ot Super decided where we going on Friday?

I would love to get out to Fonferek Park again.

The terain out there is nice an varied all over the place. Great work out for both comp and trail rigs

[TrailDawg362]

I'm waiting to hear also...

[kasper]

First thing to do is elimanate and get the fast lane machine lockers the system designed in my opionion sucks and will cause issues almost instantly.

I have been doing some looking around and will see if i can get some more info on a different spot more info to come
