Why can't a crawler also be genuinely fast?

[tigris99]

Can have a scale.rig thats fast too but it isn't going to survive being beat on ramping off stuff and hammering through rocks. That's what bouncers are for.

Put a 2300kv or 3300kb brushless in a 2 speed trx4 or some 4-6s with similar kv set up in and it'll be fast and go slow, but eat batteries and brake stuff.

Problem becomes not only speed impacts but weight. Look at most fast off road rca of similar size, they weigh very little for a reason, less stress on parts. Plus they sit low to the ground, again for a reason, you launch them the chassis scrapes spreading the impact shock.

Can it be done, easily, do you have the wallet to afford to keep it repaired???

Remember, a scale crawler doing 10 mph is doing roughly 100mph on a 1:1 rig.

When 1:1 Jeeps are zipping down the highway at 400 mph, we'll talk about why your crawler doesn't handle well at 40.

one sure fire way to make a crawler go fast put in in your car and go for a drive mine do 80 on a regular basis i havent lost one yet lol
and it works everytime

You sure scale affects the speed?

this makes me want to ask, what is the best tire for crawling in all kinds of terrain and still be able to drift....:ror:

not of the tires them self there kinda old but heres a pic in crawl mode lol

Have great Crawler tyres.
When you want drift, just tape black gorilla tape, easy and fast fix.
Easy to remove also fast.

Newer burn rubber if you want them last and be soft. Burnouts/drifting makes the rubber go hard when they heat up alot when drifting.

You will loose grip.

So dont do it.
Buy black gorilla tape, tape the wheels ,then you can drift

I have 2 rc drifters , hardplastic driftwheels, neon lights, cool drifting bodies.
If you like drift, buy tamiya tt02 they are cheap and fun drift with

dude claws

They’re probably on the banned tires list

 

[ferp420]

you can lock the claws out or lock the claws in or run in auto mode lol
in auto mode youncan go straight from drifting on pavement to climbing mt everest with out even touching the rig

a stock TRX-4 on 2nd gear is already too fast for a "crawler"

 

[MOguy]

it all depends on how good you want it to b at one thing vs another.

from the ground up they are different. You can compromise and have a " one size fits all" but it won't perform as good for either.

and is genuinely fast 10 mph or 100mph?

 

[BP6666VR]

Would this work for you ? 50 mph crawler ?

Hobby Wing Fusion Pro
