Administrator N4W Card Holder  Arrr.. Me good eye! Ultimate N4Wheeler  |
Picked up this thing about 2 weeks ago. After getting all the electronics and getting it set up, it is an absolute blast to play with on the rocks. It behaves very much like a real rock crawler in how it handles obstacles.
I'm running a Rooster Crawler ESC, which works really well for crawling. With no throttle applied, the ESC applies braking to hold the truck in position. The motor is a Novak 55 turn. Radio is a Futaba 3PM 3 channel. The 3rd channel, I'll either end up using for rear steer or for a rear drive disconnect/lockout transmission so it can do front digs! I have a few more parts on the way, such as a 195oz/in servo for steering, and a stage 2 CKRC competition suspension upgrade kit. The current servo is only around 90oz/in and it struggles to turn the wheels when the tires have a lot of traction.       I'll be bringing this RC truck on the Arizona Run for some additional camp entertainment. ------------------------------------------------------------  <--Click Me!"As a lion is to a cat, so is a mastiff compared to a dog."

Its advertised as having 70 degrees of articulation. Should improve even more with the stage 2 suspension upgrade.

I have played with one of these and they are kick ass. I gotta get me one soon.
I have an '89 Nissan Hardbody King Cab with a Chevy truck/Blazer 4" suspension lift and 3" body lift. It will soon have a TBI 350, SM-465 4 speed trans and 208 T-case rounded off with 39" tires. |

The best price I found was from www.ckrccrawlers.com for $227. If you add a few more items, all orders over $300 have free shipping (if you look for the free shipping listing on the site). They also sell the Novak rooster crawler and 55T motor combo there for $100, which is a bargain & is what I got for mine. The rooster crawler ESC normally runs around $100 by itself.
http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/index.php?main_page=pr...4_59&products_id=302 Or you could get this kit, which is ready to run (except for assembly) for $369.. the components are OK, but not the best. http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/index.php?main_page=pr...4_59&products_id=297 Personally, I prefer to get the base kit and then shop around for deals on good components. ------------------------------------------------------------ <--Click Me!"As a lion is to a cat, so is a mastiff compared to a dog."

All you need now is an old Kyosho Terrano body to plunk on that bad boy.
