The controller that came with mine is a STX2, I'm pretty sure it's an entry level controller. What you recommend for rock crawling? Would be nice to have controller that would control mutable buggies?
I was messing around with mine after reading about venting, squished the tire and could hear air coming out of the rims, vented rims?
Could be, I read about vented rims somewhere.
Yep, if they are plastic wheels they are usually vented from the factory. The scx24 wheels are vented from the factory. I don't like the vent hole in the wheel because water will get in and not have a way out. That causes the foams to break down really fast. With a vent in the tire it will throw the water out when the tire spins up. I usually put a vent in the tire even if there's a wheel vent.
Check with your hobby shop and see what they stock. Probably Spectrum stuff. You might be able to trade your RTR running gear in on a better one. It won't be worth much but I know the hobby shop I worked at in college would buy the transmitter and receiver from the rtr gear and give credit towards better equipment.
You should change your handle for this thread to RC Tech. HA! We do appreciate you putting up with all the dumb questions. We may need lights at the 2021 TO. HA!
Can you get softer foam d nut?
They make a two stage foam insert that is supposed to be the latest and greatest. It's a firm foam close to the wheel to keep the sidewall stiffer and soft foam on the outer part to keep the tread soft and terrain forming.
Yep, what @Mopower58 said. They sell all sorts of foams in different degrees of hardness and shape. A lot of the fancy ones have foams that are cut with valleys in the outer foam which let the tire flex and grab. I never got into the crawlers deep enough to get into foam cutting. The compound on the good tires is crazy.
COOL, I'll be bringing 100 white flags to the TO!
Now you need to get a 1/10 trail truck
I'll be getting with you, when I have some stupid money ahead, next RC won't be under a thousand!
HA! Yes, these cheap rail buggies have my attention as of now. I just wanted something small to ride with the boys that didn't cost a lot! Got two cheap O's that keep me plenty entertained as of now. The The Temper is a lot faster than the Night Crawler?
This is really stupid! But fun!
Can't help you out there. I didn't even know what a Temper was until I just Googled it.
