Losi Night Crawler down, broke the rear drive shaft, parts are on back order? Did get a 30 minute run though before the failure. The ECX Temper did great, wild little 1/17 crawler , when in doubt gas it in the big rocks, you'll either make it or be on your top! HA! Think I got the battery thing figured out.

Or break it. 🤣

Battery is charged, got to go!

Battery is charged, got to go!

Congrats and enjoy. Although your rock wall might not exactly be the same optimum running location for this one.

Funny little critter, it dives nice. I didn't think it would with all the play in the suspension links. Nice it comes with extra upper and lower links, drive line parts and extra hold down clip for the front. It's not a Night Crawler or Temper by any means, going to need fender flares modified, but is going to be a hoot! And got a back glass for RC club sticker, small one though! HA!

Well I thought it was prime time for the little SC24, took it out in the rain and climbed the wet roots that I did with the Temper with dry roots yesterday, It was easier and faster with the little SCX24, because of it's size. The only reason I bought this little buggy was the TO crawl, to play with the P5 owners! HA! Naw this little SCX24 will hold its own, the controls are very smooth, I'm impressed, no big rock crawler , we will see?

Those are really fun @Smitty335 . I haven't done much of anything with mine since I printed the rock bouncer chassis for it.

BS!

BS!

Well Little Herbert hit the wall this afternoon, he did pretty good, about 40% of the wall. This little crawler is impressive. Run time is great! As you can tell I crawl! The controls are so smooth. I can see where the 1/24th scale will help skills

with the bigger crawlers, Ha, when you can flip on a dog turd, changes your perspective, HA!

I’m really glad you’re enjoying the one I recommended.

The last pieces of the drivetrain that haven’t been upgraded went today. Pinon is gone and chunked the spur, My hobby place had a MIP rear driveshaft and I’m going to a 31 pinion with a 51 spur from the stock 27 since it broke. It’s going to rip.

Got busted Saturday after crawling, wife asked me, you get another RS truck. Me yes, it was a cheap-o and used, well it was used, two days of usage. I didn't exactly lie. I really like the little sc24, Needs some brass bad. It's a challenge to crawl with, I love it! Thinking front brass knuckles and rear wheel weights? Front bumper sicks out way to far, first impressions, so far.

 

[Smitty335]

Got some 6 GM steering knuckles coming Thursday, I almost ordered 10 GM wheel weight for the rear, seemed heavy?
