Hello all, I’m looking for a little advice.
I am researching and pricing out different crawler kits to get and I have settled on a creeper. I should be ready to buy something within the next few weeks and I plan on buying pretty much everything at once, treating myself for Christmas one last time before the baby comes. Anyways, I do not really plan on doing any comps, just really playing around with friends in my back yard. I just recently sold my 1:1 and I found that it was built too well, and had no real challenge anymore, at least not anywhere local. As for the creeper, the biggest reason I am interested in this one is because of the selectable lockers. I plan on having them unlocked most of the time, challenging my driving skills more. I would also like to have dig and probably 4ws.
My budget is probably going to be close to $1000, and as I said earlier, I would like to get almost everything with this initial purchase. I have picked out almost everything on ckrc, I would like to just buy from one source. I would like some guidance with my selections of parts so far. So far I have picked out:
Green Creeper kit
Factory dig
DS8711 servo for front steering
MG995 servo for rear steer
Aluminum servo arms for both
Tekin fxr, 45t pro combo
Two sets of 8 cell 1500mah Nihd
Onyx 230 charger
A few sets of deans plugs
HB rovers (white)
A set of venom bolt on wheel weights
A CC 10amp BEC
So far I have about $720 in my shopping cart and I still need the radio, and a few servo’s for the axles. Some of the parts I plan on upgrading as I break them such as the knuckles, etc.
I am torn about the radio, I cannot figure out if I want a stick because its easy to find, or if I should try and find one of the rare 6 channel pistols. Is a stick all the bad? Does this make rear steer more intuitive? If I do go with a stick, what should I get?
What servo’s should I look into for the axle lockouts? And I have read that the dig unit comes with a servo that is acceptable, is this correct?
Lastly, is the anything I am forgetting?
Thanks, devin
