Not much crawling for this scaler.

My favorite go fast and its kinda scale. Sorry, not a crawler though.

Awesome rail man! Looks like it would be a blast to drive. Can it pull the wheels up at speed?

 

[ah_5500]

Thanks. In grass. Yes. On a ball field no. I think it's too hard.

This thing is awesome. Do you have a build thread?

 

[ah_5500]

No. I bought it close to this. I added interior/drivers. Change wheels and tires and some other stuff you don't see (electronics and their location, fixed the way they had the steering and suspension, ugh). Wicked fun buggy.

 

[jrowles91]

Can you tell what's it's made of? What parts from what kits??

 

[ah_5500]

Rc4wd desert storm four seater chassis. Everything else is pretty much traxxas stampede/rustler/bandit/jato except wheels and tires. The chassis is not made anymore. There was one on the forum for sale yesterday. A little high on their price though.

The one where the guy wanted $350 for it? It looked to be a decent deal.. :shock:

What did you do to change the steering? And on the suspension? Looks the same as when I sold it to you.

The back was messed up and the left hung about a half inch or more lower than the right. It was constantly break left axles.
The steering and front suspension had rods that were way too short so I have made new longer and way stronger ones. Where you had put spacers on the spindles to allow the short tie rods to reach it gave leverage to let the steering be sloppy and was also bending the spindle. Pretty much the tire would move lock to lock without the steering moving.
Thanks for selling it to me. I'm slowing getting it dialed in. This thing is a blast!

Not a horrible deal but I paid around that for this one brushless and minus receiver. Thanks trucker bob

You bet bud! I was curious what you had fixed because I have another one of those chassis' and a two seater Desert Storm chassis as well. I will end up building them both at some point and don't want to make the same mistake's. Glad you're having fun with it and it looks great with your upgrades!!"thumbsup"

 

[ah_5500]

Thanks. I made my own links for it the same way I make my crawler links. Can't wait to hit some beach sand.

Great pic! Love the flaps on your rear tires. Are any of those lights functional???

 

[ah_5500]

Thanks! No. I thought about wiring them up but it's just more to mess up while bashing.
