Hey, im from Holland MI, (Grand Rapids area) just wondering if there are any GTG's around this area, i know there are a few in the eastern lansing area, but i dont really want to drive for 2 hours each way for just a few hours of crawling.

Selling my PTI Goliath rock crawler rtr, as it just sits on the shelf. Have ran 2 battery packs through it...

Comes with a 2/3a 6 cell pack, the truck, Hitec AM radio, LRP mini automatic waterproof esc, 35t Lathe motor and GD-600, Hitec 545MG servo. Needs a front cvd shaft and a rear ring gear. Low use. $350 invested, sell all for $200 to one of the Michigan crawler guys. "thumbsup"

Basically buy all the gear, get the truck for free...

If someone wants to pick it up this weekend, $150 takes it. "thumbsup"

yeah the narrow track width really helps on some lines.

i think that it is the tires more than anything, they just hook up like you wouldn't believe.;-)

sweet, have you tried the moabs or mashers for comparison on the same rig? I'll have to look up the specs on those tires, they are nice.

 

[shrek]

i will have to try my mashers and see how they do it just seems like the losi have alot more traction.;-)

Hello guys, long time crawler "wannabe" finally have the cash and well this Axial kit is perfect for me. I don't have the best local crawling ground, I do but the owner of the house isn't too keen on the idea yet.

Anyway, when/where are the places to be? I would like to meet some people and learn some things.

Hey binary, good to see you around. last we talked I bought X Factor parts from you years ago.

right now I thing our spots are in Commerce, Davisburg and Highland that consist of trail runs, water and rocks.

you know i never really liked the way my scaler performed, so i tore it all apart and decided to put my tuber together and make that my scaler, i think it came out pretty good heres a look.;-)

 

[Herzog-racing]

my truck has a coat of dust on it. when do you guys want to break them out?

 

[rcracer]

I might be able to swing this sunday for a bit

shrek, the tuber looks good man, nice use of the full droop suspension.

 

[shrek]

sunday sounds good to me, pick a time and place. charging my battery's now so i can do some testing with my tuber and see how it does compared to my scorpion.;-)

 

[shrek]

i did a little testing yesterday with the tuber, still playing around with the shocks but over all i'm impressed it does really good. are we still on for tomorrow, if so where and when, let me know thanks."thumbsup"

 

[rcracer]

hey shrek, that's great about the truck performance. weather is looking good, interested in maybe 12 oaks mall by sears? they have a rock hill at the far end of the parking lot. I'll drive by there today and check it out, should be more than enough for the 2.2's but i'll let you know.
as for time probably 2pm is best for me

I might buy it off you w/o electronics. I already have some, and the WK's stock electronics are so-so. Also, it's always good to have some spares. Better yet, get an AX-10.

 

[shrek]

rcracer and i went out to davisburg today, had a great time can't believe how well my scorpioin handles, this thing is stable as a rock. maybe next time we can get a few more people out, come on guy's the weather is great now might even see a little fall colors.:lol:
