Pshh, who pays to drive their scaler? Sucker!

J/k, I would have been there if I hadn't sold my G6 rig two weeks before.

And I like this rig, simple but effective.

You must be a old man to need running boards. :lmao:

Was it hard to install the dinky rc bedsides? Did you have to do a lot of trimming to the body?

 

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

So I got an msg from Rc OmG..a new servo company.
They asked if i'd be interested in a few to test out for them..
so they sent me a few to test out on my crawlers.

if you can use a pair of scissors its not hard at all.."thumbsup"

trim them out..
mount to cage,then cab,then tidy up the rear by bolting it together. 8)

 

[Shinjari]

So would you suggest those servos? they seem reasonably priced

 

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

ill let ya know after the 22nd of june...

if it survives our G6 at Superlift it'll get my stamp of approval..
not that it means anything..:roll:


so far im pleased with them..

when i 1st got them I hooked/powered them up and tried to twist the servo horn as hard as I could with my hands..trying to break it or chip a gear.
no problems..

The Huge Tumble downhill at Superlift I thought for shure was gonna break something..rolled/endo'd down 40ft.."Horsepower hill"

at :20seconds into video the trees to the left of the buggy is where it started to roll/endo..

 

[dirtyrigpig]

how did you bend up your sliders?

 

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

look at post #8

use a heat gun.
heat up the slider support bars and bend just a lil past what you want.

"thumbsup"

If there is a 1:1 ride that weekend we will probably be there! It's about a 9 hour trip just to drive rc's! Lol my dad only has diesels so it's pricey to drive there!
