I am a total new person to crawling so don't mind my questions Which radio would you suggest then ? Yes, down the road I might want to get 2 esc and do all that is possible. This is just a start to see if I can get all electronics work for the time being and have a little start up fun if you know what i mean. I am all open to other parts that should be put together instead of what I listed down. I can opt for them if you tell me how will they benefit please | |

| If you are doing one esc then yes the tq4 will work however your going to need to switch the 3rd channel to a 3 position switch other wise you will only get one dig option. 2 3 position switches will give you front and rear dig and steering throw all the way to the right or left.

hey everyone again.... I need some HELP with a decision about my x-Crawler from some who have or had an x-Crawler.... I recently bought a 'Hustler' ClodBuster and ended up getting that running very quick...Now its time for the x-Crawler... BUT not too sure about putting money into it because of thing I've been told... I WANT to keep it but is it worth it...?? Have any of you thought the same...? Should I try and get rid of it or can it actually become a good crawler...? I'm hoping for some advice/help/tips on what I should do.... THANKS |

The Losi Aftershock tires mounted right up to the stock X-Crawler wheels, both are MAXX Size (3.2" wheel) I feel that the X has a lot of comp potential on the local level. The axles have been trouble free for us and we're working on making it narrower to get the gearboxes to quit dragging the ground so much. For electronics we're running a modded TQ3 for rear steer and a single Sidewinder on 3s lipo. My son tried a stick radio with dual esc's but it was too complicated for him. | |

To give you an idea of how tough the courses where out of the 5 mini runners (not a big showing either) 4 broke, i had a stripped bevel gear, and stripped shock end, my dad had destroyed drive shaft, one guy had smoked a mamba 25 and the other guy stripped a spur gear.

| No, the other problem was the dirt it wasnt natural terrain so lots of very slick rock and a ton of dirt. The next comps will be the 3rd and 4th of october and i will post my results, there should be many more people on the 4th since that is the first comp of the rcc winter series in colorado so it will be natural rock. It will be good to see how it compares with guys like rubbaneck and sparkyj along with all the other super runners. We did however have some fun with the 2.2's, the puller guys where also there so i loaded my berg with 1.2 lbs in each front tire and shoved another 14 oz tire/wheel under the front of the body and successfully pulled a 40lb cart around 20ft in dirt. |

I like it, it works great i need to flip my axle tubes so the links are on the bottom and adjust the weight a bit, it didnt do any worse than the two clods except on the "finals" course. If you have the stuff to run it, try it i actually broke less than one guy, who broke twice before even starting the course . There was another guy there that was trying to sell a super roller with rapter rc4wd axles and a tube chassis with moabs and axial beadlocks, i was looking at doing it for my dad but he wanted $800 , it was brand new though.

Nice, I am happy to hear good feedback about it. I bet that roller was super cool super huh. All I need to get mine rolling is a new controller. Am in a tight spot because my ps3 died and that was my dvd player, so now I am stuck at buying the RSD8000 or a new ps3. However it turns out to be am not giving or getting rid of my xtm, i have always like fixing things and make them work even if they are hard. I like my axles. I ran them with my friends controller and never had a problem. | |
