RC crawlers.

Finally changed out the wheels and tires to my TRX4 to BFG’s and method wheels.

 

I have no interest in putting BFG's on my real truck but I went w/ them on my RC too..

 

Blew up my servo again after 1 outing on the rebuild

 

Is that a common part that breaks? I was surprised when mine went out after shortly buying the rc

Yeah, mine broke from bashing around and a pretty common break for the bombers.

 

While I was at work today, little guy went and got us a tree. About all he could fit on the truck.

 

I have a scx10 and that’s the first thing that
Broke. 178 dollars later I bought a heavy duty one and it hasn’t broken since after numerous heavy mini crawling. Here’s a pic

 

Oh fuck! These rigs are sick lookin.

I wanna post! Here's my TRX-4. I call it joe-joe.

 

Yeah I was just trying to keep it rolling on the low with the holidays and what not. I’ll be biting the bullet sooner rather than later, what did you end up with?

 

What shocks are those? They look longer than stock.

 

They look like rc4wd king scale shocks.

 

I just built my TRX4 and the travel is tiny compared to my non-scale rig. Figured longer shocks will help. I'm thinking 100 mm should help.

 

These are some knock off 100mm shocks I found on Amazon by the brand Que-T. In trying to find some cool King shocks, I ran across those for about 20 bucks. After popping oil in them, I couldn't be happier. I had to find little pieces of rubber/plastic to act as a spacer between the pivot point on the top mounting location to allow the shock move around freely up there. I also have some Sammix shock mount plates front and back that I popped in there to give myself some more options in mounting. The original shock mounts needed some larger spacers that I did not have. I kinda bought the parts piece by piece and then eventually put them all together one day so it definitely wasn't well planned out but it totally WORKED out in the end. Joe-joe has massive travel front and back now.

I found a cantilever kit on a 3d printing site that I wanna try but I would like to get a new trx-4 so I can have two "builds."

Custom Axial SCX24 MicroTaco!

Its pretty close.

 

My Honcho. I try to keep it capable, but simple, with a few scale touches for looks. Love the crawling, also love the scale aspect. Very fun.
