Team Associated teasing a scale crawler!

[Shinchu]

remind me to watch out for Hondas and tacomas on the freeway since bob is 3 wheeling in san diego LOL try not to hit me i'm in a white 2019 F150 SCREW FX4 with SBG sticker on the back window.
wait you're going to axialfest with an ascender and enduro? brave... then again you 3 wheel a Tacoma around corners lol

i do agree, the enduro is impressive out of the box. I've only taken it out once so far (that dad life) but its great.
let me know if you wanna go crawling sometime. i live in el cajon, and santee (west hills) has some nice terrain.

** just saw they are making the body decals available separate!!! $15 aint too shabby!

I picked up that sticker sheet and I dont even have the Sendero lol, I got the kit and a set of the Sendero wheels which needed the little hub stickers but I got all these other awesome stickers too.

Just to add to the chassis flex conversation, with the hard plastic parts there is very little flex, its close to being as stiff as the Ascender.

Also I dont think chassis flex is all that bad in crawlers, and I think you be hard pressed to make it actually flex enough to throw off your line IMHO. Look at the SCX10's they are quite flimsy but dont seem to suffer at all. Racing RCs is the only application I'd be concerned about flex.

I was also thinking about dirt oval cars and how they have chassis flex built into the chassis so that they might drop the front left a bit as they're leaning over in the turns, totally different application but I though it was worth mentioning.

I cant wait to bump this thread on FLEX FRIDAY.

They've got a new Utility bed out for the Sendero.

This new utility bed is perfect! This is exactly what I've been wanting for my rig. I like how it sits low on the chassis rails and not up higher above the shocks, and its more than $20+ cheaper than the proline half cage. SOLD! BOOMSHAKALOCKA!

I wonder how that utility bed would look on my wroncho with a 13.5" wheelbase? What do you think? Thoughts

Could work out, the bed seems to stick out a good bit from the rails.

I like the price and how low pro it is too, may get one and chop it a little.

 

[MaX-D]

chop it a little.

I like how you think. When in doubt, cut it out.

Looks like I'll be buying two of these utility beds, one for the wroncho, and one for the scaler. I just really dig this utility bed.
BOO-YAH!

What would it take to put the original floor on to this, just cut out the wheel wells and cut a spot for the shock hoops and shocks?

For those using the stock Reedy 16T motor that comes in the RTR, how are you liking it? Any issues on 3s? How is the quality compared to say Holmes Hobby motor of the same caliber?

The reason I ask is I need to get a new brushed motor for one of my rigs (Wraith), and my LHS carries associated and Reedy products.

Holmes Crawlmaster has better magnets per JRH.
That said the motor currently available is the the
Rebuildable can type, although Associated now has an sku for the rtr motor today

How important are the magnets in the motor? Brushed motors are new to me. I'm replacing the stock axial motor in my son's Wraith. I'm also swapping out the stock ESC for the hobbywing 1080

Better magnets give it more snap .
I know my 13t Crawlmaster has more grunt vs the 16t radon , different pinions also hard to tell 13/16

I just got mine, but I can't seem to find the power switch on the truck. The moment I pop the battery in it starts up. Do they come with one on the receiver or is this standard?
