Just a quick play.  I have to sort out the horrible lighting wiring, and have already had to re-solder the leads on the motor.  I think the guy that did it was half blind, half drunk, and did it with his feet, lol.  I also have to order a servo extension cable so I can put the receiver in the sealed box where it belongs, not out in the elements.  The guy also put aftermarket springs on it, but they're too stiff, and it's limiting its flex.  Not sure if I'll replace them, or create a mount so the shocks lay flatter, making them flex better.

Ohhhh, I'd love to see some pics!!   :pok: :pok:

:D

You definitely need softer springs on a rock crawler
It’s amazing how much of a mess people can make
With scale model R/Cs especially the electrical side

I will try and dig out my 1/8 scale rock crawler
As soon as my back feels better
It will be nice to have a little play with it again
Unfortunately I haven’t got anywhere local
To climb on anything like rocks

My crawler is really slow whilst driving
As it’s set up just for maximum torque
There is not a lot that it can’t climb on

I brought some .080 7075 aluminum home from work that I'm going to use to try and make shock mounts.  I think I have it figured out...  :think:

Have you ever used an external BEC instead of the built-in one through the ESC?  I was thinking about getting one of these: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-5a-8-26v-sbec-for-lipo.html?affiliate_code=ICRNCHCPVAPIDVY&_asc=3251143213 since I have a pretty hungry servo: https://www.savoxusa.com/products/savsa1230sg-coreless-digital-servo

I watched a YouTube vid last night and the guy had front and rear steer, and MOA.  It was cool to watch him being able to do front and rear digs, and the different mixing he had setup for the steering.

If we would of been there ten minutes earlier
We would of been soaking wet
