Hhmmm... I’ll have to give that a try and hopefully it straightens things out

Adjusted my front shocks again yesterday as the front was raked forward & ran into the same issue lifting the front axle. Pan hard bar was pulling my suspension left this time.

Didn’t wanna fiddle around looking for a link that was about 5-7mm longer, so I ended up backing out both of the eye holes, or whatever they’re called, & it gave me the length I needed to straighten the axle back out to center.

You can try that out & see if that works for you to straighten the axle back to center. I get a little bump steer due to it being DIY’d, but it’s only very minor.

It’s only a temporary solution until you can find the right length you need. There’s a seller on eBay, RC Issues Inc, that makes wheelbase aluminum or brass links but also makes custom length ones too. All he needs is the length from eye to eye & he’ll make you a set. If you know how to cut, drill & tap your own links, then you can do it on your own with some aluminum rod.

Hope this helps.

Hello there. New to the forum, but not new to RC. Cut my teeth on a Tamiya Frog, back in the 80s, had a bunch of other cars, buggies, boats, and even tried flying (well, mostly crashing). I had been a fan of Team Associated, having had numerous RC10s, 12s, TCs, etc.

A month or so ago, I stumbled on some SCX24 stuff, on Thingiverse, and that rekindled the car fire. I picked up a Jeep, and have been putzing around with it, printing parts for it, etc.

But now I want moar! I've been watching YT and reading this site for the past several days, usually into the wee hours of the morning, trying to pin down a decision on which crawler build kit to get. I was initially drawn towards the Axial SCX 10, but it looks like its getting long in the tooth. The TRX-4 looks good. However, there's that TA-backed Enduro... 8)

I already have 21T & 27T motors, HW 1080 ESC and DS3230 servo sitting on my table. Flysky GT5 coming later this week. (I have batteries & charger, BiL got me messing around with boats earlier this Spring lol)

Alright I just made a forum account so now I have to say that I'm hoping to find tips and information on some simple questions in this Great Hobby

 

[CrawlinBug]

Newbie here, to the site and somewhat to the crawling hobby. Settled between the Big Puddle and the Fresh Water Ocean beautiful in Wisconsin, I'm running an RGT ex86100 pro kit with a hobbywing quicrun 2 in 1 and my 5 yr old son is running a TRX-4 sport with stock electronics.

Hello

I am from Pittsburgh, PA (Steeler Country). I just purchased my first RC about a month ago, a Traxxas TRX-6 and love it. Just wish it had more speed ... 15-20 would do. I love the crawling, but would also like to run it in the backyard and race my neighbor who has a E-Revo on our street.

So here goes my very first question, I have been reading and see lots of info about different ESC's, motors, links and everything but I was wondering if I rip out the traxxas ESC/motor and install something different, do I need to use a different transmitter or will the traxxas one still work the same?

Thanks for your time and comments

FNG to the forum an somewhat new to crawling, but have been heavily hooked on RC for over 25 years. I build and fly everything, and have a lot of experience racing 1/10 touring car (paved and carpet), off road 2wd truck and buggy. A main racer in stock and spec classes. So now I’m sinking my teeth into crawling! LOL
I am tech/computer challenged, including using a forum. So be gentle. [emoji1306][emoji41]

Hello, my name is Sean. I’ve been in and out of surface R/C for over 35 years. From Tamiya to Traxxas. Jumped back in after about 8 years with a TRX4 chassis kit and a 72 Blazer body last week. Looking forward to learning more.

Newb here.

Live in Carson.
Running an Tamiya CC01 Jeep Wrangler. Currently rebuilding to crawler from previous standard build.
As for who I am, does anyone truly have an answer to that question? Please, help me find enlightenment!

Otherwise, I'm here to ask questions and get support from those less intellectually challenged than I.

Another old newbie (to trailing)

Yes, another old newbie, from Lincoln UK, just got myself a TRX-4 Defender, ordered a few upgrades, so hoping to get up and running in the next few days.

No doubt I will be back searching the forum or asking questions very soon, although I have had other RC cars previously, so not totally new to RC.

 

[Burger_Enthusiast]

Returning to the hobby after about 6 years, with only the occasional RC outing when the weather is nice. Decided to stop in to the LHS to see what kits they had on the shelf, and they sold me on the Capra kit. I've never built or driven a crawler, so this seems like an interesting departure from my previous bashing style of truck. After browsing here for a while researching what electronics to put in the Capra, this is definitely more complex than what I'm used to lol. Look forward to learning a new genre of RC with the help of the forum. A couple pics of my last build, the Yeti XL kit

Howdy!

I'm Ed from the PHX area of AZ.

Just recently got back into RC after about 15yrs.

Currently have an SXC24, an SCX10.3 I'm building, and an Arrma Mojave.

Looking forward to being here!

 

[rdraider]

Howdy guys and gals!

Newbie here for the most part. Messed with a Tamiya Grasshopper back in the 80's and just recently decided to get back into it.

I grew up always wanting a 80's CJ and until i have the $$$ for a real one, decided a small scale would do ok.

After doing some researching and looking, here's where i'm at...

MST CMX Chasis
Tamiya YJ body
My trick RC light kit
Hackmoto 16t 540 motor 5pin
ProTek PTK-100T servo
Reedy SCX400x ESC
RC4WD Winch

Need to buy:

RC4wd Transmitter reciever
Reedy Battery Lipo 3s and charger


Any sugetsions, advice, ridicule? lol

Thanks!

Hello to all.

Brand new to the hobby, I bought a Land Rover D90 MN99s (yes, I know that some may not consider it an hobby grade vehicle ).

I'm still trying to find upgrades for this crawler and get suggestions if I should stick with it or advance to the bigger 1/10s.

Any suggestion is recommended. Hope to learn a lot from you guys.
Thanks in advance.

Pedro, Portugal.

Hello there!
I’ve been reading lots of threads for a few months already, but I have never published or commented anything yet… the time has arrived!
I am a proud newbie seeking for experiences building my own rigs!
I started last year with an extremely cheap 1/12 MN-90… after some upgrades, I bought a second body shell to customize it even further. I’ll publish a thread about them soon.
Now I am building a truck in an Austar 313mm (the chinese SCX-II~ish replica) chassis. I’ll also publish something about it at some point!
So, thank you for letting me in, and see you around!

How's everyone doing?!

My name is Jonny and Im from Youngstown Ohio!


Just got my first crawler a month ago, SCX24 and was hooked! I went last week, July 22nd and bought a Traxxas TRX4 Sport! I love it!!! Well, today, July 27th, I went to try out a new spot and when i got there i ran across the parking lot, easy as its only a single speed, and it looked like my left rear tire was bent. I looked and i pulled the bead out of the rim a lil. I ra back to my house as I forgot my tool kit and bag at the house. I fixed the wheel in a couple minutes and threw a new battery in my rig, plugged it in out behind my house as I decided to just crawl on the trails behind my house, and after i plugged it in i grabbed my transmitter and when i turn that on, my truck started smoking! It wasnt on and i was using a new traxxas battery! I snapped a couple pics as this is the first time this has every happened to me. I got online with Traxxas and i was hoping to get a new ESC but they want my rig to look over everything! They sent me shipping labels and it goes out tomorrow! They said it should be a 3-5 day turn around once it hits their offices! Im still excited about this rig and Traxxas support was awesome! I sent the pics they needed and everything was taken care of before the truck was even cool'd off! haha! well any ways, sorry for the long story, I dont really have any other crawler stories! haha:ror:
