More potating from this potato...

Threw some smaller tires on the rear to give it some front overdrive. Hokey smokes! It'll climb stuff I wouldn't have believed a week ago!

Man I wish I had kept my old RC kits from childhood. I had the obligatory Tamiya Frog, OG stampede, a few RadioShack kits from the late 80s. An OG rustler with that killer ford ranger-esque body and my first and only nitro; a traxxas 4tec that was a lot of fun. Teal truck is a slash vxl 4wd that has been converted to just about every type of vehicle you can make from it and It’s currently awaiting an STRC 1/8 buggy conversion just for 5hits lol. Not pictured are a losi crawler, hpi mini rs4 M3. I also have a 1st gen losi mini-t Baja bug that’s killer and will be my next project. Needs a single steering link up front and an updated power system.

Wait giving smaller rears makes better crawler?!

My fully upgraded monster slash 4x4. Once was a monster truck build, then a buggy, and now back to a monster truck. It currently sits in a box because the diffs never hold up for me. Hopefully I’ll buy an xmaxx soon.

It does on this one ?
Generally speaking, having a little bit of over drive to the front gives you better vertical performance. Digging into the gear ratios in the diffs on this one is difficult, so I just went with the tire thing to see if it worked.

Quick gorilla tape mockup of the willys body on the scx24. I might end up being a crawler guy, too..

What do y’all think?

 

[Pat_ranch]

Test run before I glue up and paint the body ?

You might look at this and say it's a cheap toy from banggood and you'd be right. However the rgt rock hammer (hsp, force rc, FTX, redcat all have similar) can be a real performer. It was marketed as a rock racer and it's terrible for that. If you lower it a bit, increase the steering, put a hw1080 and slower motor in it you really have a good crawler. Much lower cg than other similar cheap crawlers.

These lil crawlers are a ton of fun.

Rear suspension and axle fitted to my Toyan 2cyl Rat Rod project ?

It kept tipping over backwards on steep approaches ?

My son's WLtoys 144001 we converted to brushless with a 4000kv system? Contact foam tires. First couple 2s passes hit almost 48mph still have to go see what it will do on 3s, thinking in the 60's...

This is my trx4 and dr10 I’m doing to start drag racing this spring

My daughters mad van Santa got her outfitted with anime stickers. My sons first rc stampede 2wd converted to brushless and my dhk Maximus that got me back into the hobby when my son got into it which can run on 6s now but the diffs can’t handle it haha.
