Tom, sorry to hear about your pain. After a scare I had a few weeks ago, I might get mine snipped too lol.
On a serious note, you did the right thing by getting the procedure. I have several friends who have been through it, and its much safer and easier on the guy than it is on the gal...
Let me know what else you might need, I'm getting ready to get rid of TONS of extra crawler parts that I've picked up here and there along the way, to make room for the new stuff thats been piling up while I was sick.
Lookin good man. With the right setup, you will be able to out crawl a lot of these guys that are running aftermarket chassis'. I know I was REALLY surprised as I was testing the dual triangulation skid plate during the design phase at just how much it improved the handling of the rig. When...
What does the American Meatloaf Association have to do with flying, besides the fact that a bad batch will have your frequency open to others because you'll be in the outhouse of the local flying field (or the nearest tree, depending on the quality of the field)?
Thanks man, I appreciate it. I've been working on a top secret build the last few days, but I'm back in the RC saddle full swing and have three top notch rigs lined up on the shelf with all the parts needed to build, and I'm getting ready to order another one.
If anyone has one of these and wants to put a Cobalt in it, please let me know. We can fab up just what you need at EEM. In fact, we may have secret experience with a top secret project thats very similar.
Pete, I have EXACTLY what you're looking for. I bought it for a crawler and didn't know squat about stick radios, turns out it wont operate the toaster in my crawler like I was hoping it would. Well it will, but everytime I try to make toast, the pasta maker pukes out cheese.
Anyway, I have...
No one seems to have mentioned it, but a HUGE advantage with the Berg rigs is the center of gravity. By having the motors mounted on the axle, it allows you to eliminate the transmission and mechanical dig unit from the chassis. By placing the weight directly over the axles, you DRASTICALLY...
Absolutely beautiful rig Lloyd, it's hard to believe how far you've come from our first PM's about crawling and if it was worth spending the money on, and independent suspension, to the axial, and now to the Berg. I'm super impressed. If I had to guess I would think we've probably exchanged...
Just so you guys will have an idea of what this post is about, I'm posting about the Original topic, the Losi crawler.
I've been itching for these worm drive axles since I saw my first set on a 2.2 comp rig a long time ago, and I was considering custom building a few sets until I heard...
Several stores on ebay have been good to me too. Before discovering eastendmachining.com, and then later becoming an employee, I ordered about 95 percent of my stuff through ebay, and never been screwed yet by buying from reputable vendors.
We have a huge selection of stock replacement parts...
Yeap, nitro is not for crawlers. I will say that current nitro technology is not for crawlers because some will argue that if someone put enough time and money into developing a drivetrain it could work, although it will never be up to the standards of electric. You need the instant throttle...
The Berg axles are buy far the best axles for competition in the 2.2 class. The shafty rigs (crawlers which use a transmission and driveshafts) just can't compete with the Berg type motor-over-axle rigs because of the center of gravity. The Berg axles and other MOA axles have the motors...
I often wondered the same thing that you're wondering. I've always built hot rods and I also drag race, (1:1 stuff). I've always been an on-road type of guy in my full size rigs, never been into off road or 4x4 stuff.
In RC I like off road stuff because I don't have a track to race on-road...
I knew it had to be a coonass doin something like that. Lol, nice work. I really like the simplicity. I think if you're going to do a cop car you should build it into a scaler with a hard body. There are crown vic bodies all over the place on 1/10 scale models. Some even come with push...
