the ultimate crawler king.....

i hadnt thought about that yet, but am open to suggestions from more knowledgeable people than me! I will say that so far the stock tires seem to do pretty well, but I havent went on any really rocky terrain yet.

 

[anthonyjlc]

I have the proline flatirons and they do really well, also do you have any plans for motor upgrades??

 

[allanon1965]

there again, i would like to go brushless but havent researched anything yet.

 

[anthonyjlc]

the slipper clutch wont handle it, itll wear out really fast, its a pain in the ass to fix, and $12 for a new one

 

[allanon1965]

what would it handle? or is it better to stay stock and ugrade gearing?

 

[anthonyjlc]

It put a powerwheels motor on it and different gearing and leave it at that

 

[allanon1965]

the servo kit came today, I tossed it together with the factory servo to see if it would make any difference, and it does make it turn easier. tomorrow I will put in the traxxas servo and see what happens, but I do need to change the steering servo horn as its not the proper length now.

 

[anthonyjlc]

Looks good, id use the short one because it allows you to utilize the servos torque more effeciently

 

[allanon1965]

latest update, with the new servo and the linkage installed correctly this time!


i really should start my own thread on this instead of hijacking yours! sorry about that...

 

[anthonyjlc]

[anthonyjlc]

This beast is about to come alive

Looking Good Anthony. Can't wait to hear the first run report! Hank

 

[anthonyjlc]

Thanks, i should be ordering the front axle monday

 

[allanon1965]

where did you get the aluminum tray and rx mount?

 

[anthonyjlc]

Lol its not alum. Its just stock parts painted white

 

[allanon1965]

ok, i cant tell too well, it looked like aluminum that reflected the flash

I am waiting on my parts to arrive for the rear steering, a reversing y-cable,servo,and bracket kit. Picked up an aluminum servo arm last night at the local r/c store

 

[anthonyjlc]

hows that traxxas servo workin out for ya

 

[allanon1965]

its working great! much better than the original one

 

[anthonyjlc]

Thats great man im glad for you

 

[allanon1965]

what do you think about dual shocks on each wheel? they fit with no mods needed
