First R/C since the mid 90's, first crawler ever. So much fun. Unfortunately, after the first run 3 shocks were sagged and leaking. The plastic caps were warped and company did not warranty nor did they have any in stock to warranty..so that started a slippery slope of mods. Front Treal brass inner, outter, and c mounts. QUE-T amazon beadlocks https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 injora roof rack https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Powershift r/c battery dead man switch. redcat light kit PRO-LINE scaler shocks. But I think I ruined it with the roof rack...it looks so good but its now really top heavy. I put some soft springs on the shocks thinking it would sit low and have alot of droop etc. But as soon as it side hills kinda it just flops over. Such a bummer. Will have to play with the springs a bunch, because I dont wanna ditch the rack! May end up having to use a different one with the spare. We will see. Def needs some sticky tires, and a better esc and motor. But that's it so far. 20210117_155726 by Randy Schisler, on Flickr 20210105_122102 by Randy Schisler, on Flickr 20210109_121614 by Randy Schisler, on Flickr 20210105_123202 by Randy Schisler, on Flickr 20210121_124343 by Randy Schisler, on Flickr 20210214_121614 by Randy Schisler, on Flickr |
