Another Creeper owner here.

Hey guys, great forum. I picked up a used creeper a month ago. Currently it is pretty much stock with a Novak 18.5 brushless system. I have the Venom wheel weights, but not installed yet.
Where are you guys getting the the screws for your suspension mods ? I cannot find them locally. Thanks "thumbsup"

Welcome to the forum.

Make sure to read "RMD's T & T's" at the top of this forum.

As to hardware, my LHS has most of it. I also use McMaster-Carr, they are an online industrial supply house. I also have a local "Sears Hardware" (not a local Sears, same company but different type of store.)

There are also a couple of vendors (main page ~2/3's of the way down) that also sell hardware.

Some people also use "Fastenal" which is another industrial supplier.

I have used fastenal in the past, have been thinking about macmasters this next time.

Thanks for the info. I have been reading all the tips and tricks. Just waiting to get the hardware I need and then the modding will begin. I found some screws locally, but they were phillips head and silver.

 

[viper6171]

if you have a westlake ace hardware around you they will have some , but mcmaster-carr is a great source .

I went with Fastenal for my screws. Their prices are awesome. Mcmasters prices are good, but you have to buy 50-100 pieces. I don't need that many screws ! Thanks for the help.

Lol. I would rather be crawling than fishing. Lately I havn't been doing either. Been spending to much time on this forum and other Rc sites ! I think I am gonna pull the trigger on the green star subscription to get access to the classifieds section. Just don't think my bank account can handle my addiction !! lol

 

[winnerone23]

(creeper, mrc, Xr-10 ) one coming for my scx-10 xj an another mrc.. plus the classifieds.. an its not always so much the bank account that can or can't handle it.. it if the wife can or can't handle it! If ya don't have one.. better keep it that way till ur new love is taken care of first! HAhaha

My wifes favorite saying is " Why do you need another rc car, you already have 3 and can only run 1 at a time!"
They just don't understand the addiction. HaHa.

 

[winnerone23]

Oh, mine understands it... She doesn't even mind it so much, she likes goin to comps.. but 4 mrc, a fully paradox'd creeper, a scaler, an 3 2.2's plus a rally car.. lol.. too much even for me.. selling or trying to sell the bully moa, an mantis style moa an a mrc now.. creeper, rally, 2 mrc, an The xr are staying.. we live around a lot of bars and I don't go to them anymore, so she doesn't say much bout the hobby that keeps me out of them.. win win..

Does she like shoes?? If so, you can always come back with, "Why so many shoes???? You can only wear 1 pair at a time!"

Do so at your own risk!:shock:

Good luck with the Creeper, my son ran one (still has it) and was doing well withh it. He keeps thinking about dragging it back out either as a comp rig or the basis for a scaler.

RMD has a great stickie thread as well as lots of support from Creeper runners here.8)
