the 1080 is a damn good brushed ESC, hang on to that

 

it was until I ran into something and fragged it... Need more parts!

 

It’ll go into my crawler once I get a better motor. Thinking of getting the Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster 13T

 

Sooo... suggestions on a tough servo?

 

I'm currently working with a JX 46kg servo on the crawler because I pinched and wore through the wire on my Protek. I have only used it a couple times and so far seems "OK". I accidentally purchased the model that wires direct to a battery. I kind of rigged the wiring so may not be getting the full voltage, but makes me question the torque rating the manufacturer provides. Otherwise, I have not had any issues with the 370TBL and would always recommend it.

 

Don't get protek. They twitch eventually, especially the 130

 

LOVEEEE my Holmes Crawlmaster with 1080! Think I’m currently running a 15T 550 can. Purchased a 12T 550 can a couple days ago. Haven’t installed yet.

 

if you try and race an 11lb car using a 130T, you might have a bad time

 

Buy it from Amain, and they’ll replace it.

 

Paint is done. I need some race/sponsor decals.

 

I might be a simpleton, but I didn’t think I’d have a problem figuring this out. Nothing lined up; hub diameter, bead lock screws, ect. Did I get the wrong ones?

 

They sandwich between the hub and the wheel. There are some specifications you have to get right inorder for everything to fit. Some brass only fit over specific hubs.

 

Yea, my hub doesn't look like that.

 

Are yours the stock wheels?

 

Gotta Have Vanquish SLW type hubs to use those brass weights

 

Bomber is back together and it is gooooooood....

 

I WILL NOT be shamed on Facebook for not running a bed

 

No hate from me....

 

For a long time I was trying to get the weight and COG of the TRX figured out with different bodies, rear cages etc. Running no bed was a "can't beat them, join them" kinda deal with the local crawling group. I think I've got the NWSD chassis as dialed in as it's going to get, so now I know any adverse behavior is probably from the body. The weight of the Hilux bed is minimal and lighter than any of the cages I've run, so hopefully this one will work out. Departure angle suffered slightly, but also may prevent it from flipping backwards as the bed is there to stop it.

 

It looks good! That body is cool. I’m still planning a cage for mine, mostly to give it a more finished look, but also to balance out the rest of the chassis as well.
