make sure you antenna isn't touching any metal and best if mounted upright.

I'm assuming you mean glitchy?

 

[Crawlerguy851]

No, it doesn't run.

 

[rcracer]

did you adjust the mess on the spur properly?

something must be bound, do the axles turn free?

 

[jebs]

we got it running the pinnion was stuck on the chassie. But now the trany diff came unlocked. thanks for helping.

This sucks. We're having as much luck as I had with my Ofna MBX buggy. (that is, not much) Anyone have a complete diff? The previous owner shoe goo'd the diff to lock it, and it came unlocked. Now, we can't get it apart.

use a knife blade and gently work it between the diff halves to pry it apart. take your time and don't get cut.

the weather isn't looking so good this weekend but we'll see about next weekend. We meet in Highland, not sure what kind of drive that is for you. You could still use that chassis for a super class with just running longer links. the 2.2 class not limited to driveshaft but the scale class is.
we use the same rules that RCC does for all the classes.

lol. Only about 3 hours.With Mars coming up I don't know how much I can make it.I'll try as much as I can.:x

 

[gopher]

we can always find other sites Etowne. I am not from SW, but from Mid Michigan and I know that some people were driving near my hometown not long ago...

if you can find a good enough site... they will come...

 

[Herzog-racing]

mid michigan is where it started but has moved for the better because it is closer for people besides me lol

 

[ccampb04]

Wheely King complete axle set??

Anyone know where I can get the complete set of axles for a WK? I want to build up another truck to crawl with.

 

[gopher]

berzog, your in burton? I'm just down 69 (west) in Swartz Creek... right by The Cage...

anyhow.. I can't wait until I am able to make it to a get together! well.. first I need to finish my rig.. still waiting on chassis and tranny

what is the cheapest route for rock rings? Just for looks obviously... I haven't put much thought into them until tonight while looking at the axles... longing to drive...

 

[rcracer]

I'm going to glue 1 1/2 to 1" reducting washers to my wheels, they look close to rock rings

FYI SE Michiganders Larrys Performance RC's (586-997-4840) in Utica has TLT-1 Rockbuster kits for 79.95"thumbsup" Two left, and I was told they will be getting two more. I figured since they're getting harder to find I'd post here for those who are looking.

good find Chris, I'm tempted to pick one up now that scale crawling is kind of catching on in Michigan. I really enjoy driving the scaler more than the super or 2.2 for the shear fact that we lack large rocks.

 

[Herzog-racing]

so when are we crawling?

 

[Crawlerguy851]

I'm getting some parts to fix up the Jero again...so I'll be up in running in a couple of weeks.
