Yepp u'r rite. I always tend to forget the chassis. There you are:

what are the cuts in the tire for?

caymin last

I think the cuts in the tires are for some kind of rope bridge?

how do i run the small pinion gears on the stock tranny? i know the answer is probably in here somewhere but im too lazy to look for it. it the only way to run a larger spur gear?

If I am not mistaken, you have to clock the motor plate first. If you don't feel like doing that, You can buy them from [link=http://www.eastendmachining.com/whkihopuppaf.html]East End Machining[/link].

Harley on rcc has templates if you want to make your own.

I just got my crawler king a few weeks ago and am running it stock except for the front axle steering servo mount, axle guards (which I don't like) and a titanium foil bumper I whipped up so I don't kill the TVPs when casing it. Aluminum tie-rods are coming for it. I didn't think I'd enjoy crawling but this truck is a lot of fun.

finally got mine<br type="_moz"/>

new pics, and their not poser pics






now i need a rear locker and to mount the servo on the axle

Love the landscape. Truck looking good as well.[&:]

Krazy Chicken

lol thanks, we had alot of rain, and it caused the hudge ruts in the first to pics, and every where else is where the water is supposed to go when it rains, it is a fun spot, but i need to water proof my speed control so i can go their any time

learning2crawl

Just use a balloon. It is that simple and that easy. My axle mounted servo is a waterproof Traxxus. It works well in water,snow, or on the beach.

Krazy Chicken

not for the speed control, it needs air flow

learning2crawl

I had the same hesitation at first. Then someone finally talked me into trying it and I have had no issues thus far. It took me several months to come around to doing it. Another idea that the local shop told me several years ago is to get waterproofing spray for electronic circuit boards. I still am not sure why I never went that route. Any way it is your truck and your build and that is why this forum is here. Everyone adds their own touch to their own build. Good luck man!!!! Lets see some more of those sweet Arizona rocks.

Wow this forum so huge you guys have some nice rigs heres a pic of mine. I was out in my condo playin in the dirt cause there doing the water mains and went into one of the buckets.

I want to make a new chassis for it and make everything neater on it but rear steering is great on a 4 channel remote helps too

Krazy Chicken

quick question is the lowest gearing i can get without modifying the truck 93/19?


also anyone know how to shim the pinion in the axle?

Jackedman

My Feedback: (2)

You need to get a shim kit for your lhs that ranges from 1mm to 5mm. A shim kit that's for wheel bearings. Tamiya makes a good one and it's cheap

Krazy Chicken

so i just ask for a shim kit? and my lhs doesn't carry tamiya parts

Jackedman

My Feedback: (2)

Ok just ask for ask for a shim kit then

Krazy Chicken

ok, thanks, now what about gearing?

Jackedman

My Feedback: (2)

Ahh not to sure you might have to mod it a little bit

Krazy Chicken

danget, oh well, i gues i will go 93/19, and hope a new motor will survive crawling with that gearing. i already killed the stock one

Jackedman

My Feedback: (2)

Well good luck. What motor are you using

Krazy Chicken

i was using the 27t that came with it, but i think it died, it goes very slow now with the stock gearing, and doesn't have as much torque. doesn't wheelie any more.

Jackedman

My Feedback: (2)

Are you using it as a crawler or just a truck???

Krazy Chicken

more of a trail truck that sees alot of crawling on river rocks, i swapped the chassis around, and put the servo on the axle. but that was after it stopped wheelying (spelling)
