i brought my first crawler a few weeks ago and wanted to tweak it a little and found i had to search through hundreds of posts to find one or to good tips so i thought id put the ones i found in the one place.
1: modding the bull bar so you can get better entry angle.
Cut the bottom left and right triangles off the bull bar leaving the center plate and all the top half of the bar intacted.
2: move the battery lower than standard.
remove the battery tray through out plastic pice take alloy battery plate and mount it across the chassis just behind the front wheels.
old orignal position
new lower position
3: drill 2 holes on the back side of the wheel rims to let the air out of the Tyre this allows the Tyre to crush more.
4: remove the rubber bump stop from the bottom of the shock to allow it to travel further.
these are some simple mods Ive done to my rig and they made a big difference and they didn't coast a cent.
next upgrade for me will be wheel weights there cheap and make a big difference
a alloy rod steering link and 4 link suspension upgrade to stop the tail shafts hitting the y link and restricting suspension travel.
some 1.9 super swaper irok tyres there taller and wider then the stock flat ion tyres meaning more clearance and more grip.
hears some pics after i painted it all up nice.
befor:
after:
yes that's randy orton from the WWE.
if any one else has any handy tip feel free to post im keen to modify mine more it gets addictive.
