Centipede
Rock Stacker
Hey! EeePee! just wanted to let you know I keep comming back here to see what I need to do when Im stuck on a ROCK! :idea:
I just put in a 55t with a 12t pinion and it seems to have plenty of torque and adequate wheel speed...
Very simple, easy to do modifications. The pictures pretty much explain it all. The front servo mount is the basic type, I recommend using three screws, the rear one is good for support. I used cross braces to hold the tranny in place, but just the two top screws to actually hold it in place. The shocks use two different springs. Right rear and left front are stiffer with 80 weight oil, and the other two shocks use 40 weight. Torque twist is very minimal.
The only items purchased other than the truck were the motor, and GD 600, and the borrowed softer springs. Everything else has been recycled from the original kit. Oh, and the wheels and tires, oh, and the Maxx 2.5 driveshafts.
This is a good basic TXT crawler.
Other then the stock esc is there another esc out there that will control 2 540 motors?
are the links stock?
Totally stock links. I did remove the plastic ring on each end, those 1/8 inch thick black things that went on before the ball end. The hole on the frame that I drilled was made a little inboard to get my pinion angle right.
The original bottom links are now the top links, did you catch that part?
