I just put the can under it to take some pics. At ride height the battery is pretty much at the same height as the lower links, maybe even alittle lower. That was my main problem with the old one. And yeah man I'll keep taking pics. I worked on it all day today. So far I have about 2 days into it. now I've got to get new motors, ESC, new pinions, esc...

The best ESC for the money is definetly a Tekin Rebel II. You can get them for $79.99 at https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/seekpart.pl?src=ns&pn=TEKTT1020 And you can get some lathe motors from RCC http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16536&highlight=lathe+motors http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5673&highlight=lathe+motors new pinions at tower http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEW94&P=ML 88 4R, 350 V8, R150 5 speed Sold <...uot; /> 97 4R, stock, daily driver 98 Sienna, kid and dog hauler, wife's ride Re: R/C tube buggy [Re: Adam F] #669335 12/06/05 07:02 AM Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,871 Mansfield Texas onebadtrooper OP Body Damage is Cool I got the front pretty much done today. I made the upper links about 1/4 to long so I'm going to fix that. I found a spot to put the rear shocks(the zip tie's are just for mock up, I'm going to braze some mounts on). My last one I had way to many zip ties <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />..... I'm going to have to make some shock loops for the front. My wheel base is 16". You can't really tell from the pics, but this thing is pretty low. anyway here's some pics.... 89 trooper, tera low t-case gears,5.38's, 3" indy4xsus lift3"body lift,safari snorkle,warn winch,custom bull bar,custom rock sliders,warn hubs,35x13.50r15,custom rear bumper trooper pics Re: R/C tube buggy [Re: onebadtrooper] #669336 12/06/05 07:06 AM Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 11,595 Cincinnati, OH Adam F Forum Moderator Lookin' good! 88 4R, 350 V8, R150 5 speed Sold <...uot; /> 97 4R, stock, daily driver 98 Sienna, kid and dog hauler, wife's ride Re: R/C tube buggy [Re: Adam F] #669337 12/06/05 03:11 PM Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 2,854 Toronto, Canada G Greg_Canada Roll Me Over clod speed controls don't like 14.4 volts <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> ask me how i know.

Any suggestions on a type or where to start for a noob? When I first got started, I collected parts for about 2 months. I kept an eye on several RC forums for parts. I would start with a clod. You can find the axles used for around $65-$100 depending on condition and accesories included. THE best place for rc crawler info is the forums at www.rccrawler.com you can find all the parts you need in the for sale section to build a custom crawler. Just have patience, and check often because stuff goes fast. 88 4R, 350 V8, R150 5 speed Sold <...uot; /> 97 4R, stock, daily driver 98 Sienna, kid and dog hauler, wife's ride Page 5 of 17 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 … 16 17 Go to page...
