[rcracer]

hey duk if u need a ride...just let me know..i have plenty of room and im just up the road from ya

and thanks slow for makin those links for me..im gonna install them later today

and rcracer

where are u located at?

an indoor crawl would be nice for those days like today that dont get out of the 20s

I'm in New Hudson, the course isn't much but fun to mess with. I'll post up pics at some point.

 

[JUSTGOINGSLOW]

Al so how did the links work out they look pretty good to me "thumbsup"

 

[binaryterror]

Saul: Articulation like that will only cause problems when crawling. Add some limiters on those shocks, even my lowered and limited AX-10 with less articulation had a terrible time catching edges from being able to flex so much. I've removed even more articulation.

 

[1badduk]

Yea saul ill send you a pm with my number so you can call me

 

[vic0280]

hey guys new to the forum and definately novice crawler, although far from noob to hobby.

integy carbon chassis

 

[vic0280]

[1badduk]

I found a spot but it might be hard for northern people to come down I have pics if someone sends me there email so I can send them so they can get posted that would be sweet

 

[binaryterror]

lol...yeh....the articulation on my rig is a bit nuts...but check this out..its already limited inside the shocks....imagine it without

lol

anyway just got my clod and reciver and 2 servos...gonna build it stock as i cant afford a real chassie for it or a speed controll

and the links are perfect....really made the suspension more soft ...dont bind as much as it did

 

[1badduk]

So who's all going I know I'm goin if saul picks me up lol I was just wondering

 

[saul]

going slow is going im in

sorry i havent called u...been putting together my clod...this is the second one i have built in 7 years...forgot how many damn screws were in the thing

weather should be in the low 40s ...thats not to bad for january

 

[binaryterror]

here are the pictures of the place 1badduk is speaking of.

Looks to be a good spot, maybe under a bridge?

 

[JUSTGOINGSLOW]

Al how is the CLOD coming along man you are not kidding about the screws "thumbsup"

 

[saul]

finished it at 3 am....

well sorta


gotta use the mechanical speed controll till i get the funds up to buy an esc LOL


and i dont have a deans conector to put on my m s c so i cant even put a battery to it....omfg lol

 

[saul]

i used some silicone to lock the diffs ....not really sure if its gonna hold...but after about 3 minutes of dry time it felt pretty solid so we will see


just need cash to finish this project and all will be well

 

[1badduk]

I'm thinking about bringing about 6 packs wit standerd connectors so saul if you need a pack lmk I'm thinking about pulling the wheels and tires off my black foot, oh and that spot is under 275 in hinds(sp) park

 

[saul]

my comp rig is all set for power...im picking up my 2/3 cell pack at 11 am today

i just kinda forgot that i dont have any tamiya conector batteries laying around anymore for my msc that came with the clod....

[1badduk]
