So finally got my new crawler!!

Hey guys so i finally got my new crawler and its almost done! Im hoping to have it done bye sunday so maybe i can get out and test it out!! Oh i go a scx10 (dingo kit)!! Im super stooked this is my first rc build btw so also a little nervse! anyways I hope that i might be able to meet up with some of you scaler guys sunday? any takers??

Any photos to show us?

Here are a few

and a couple more

i was ganna paint it silver and blue but my kids picked this color out and told me i would be grounded if i didnt paint it the color they wanted!! lol so how could i tell them no!!

They picked a good color. I want a yota body painted desert camo.

ahh nice camo is an easy paint job also!! That kit was a little bit of a pain but after the front and rear axels were together everything else went really fast!!

Since you're not grounded when can you come out and play?

lol anytime! I want to come out and play if anyone wants 2 just say when and where! I got 2 lipos for this thing i should be able to run for a while!!

Where have you been crawling?

lol havent been really just running around in my yard! im still trying to find out the good spots to go to since i have only lived in this area for 2 yrs and only been into rc's for a few months now!

Oh and im able to go play on week days before 2pm and anytime on the weekends!

So i got a quick question for u crawler guys!! Is it better to have a high turn motor or low?? I have been watching some "rc adventure" video's and it looks to me there running a lower turn motor for some extra speed! Right now i have a 55t motor and was thinking of maybe going down to a 30t motor or something like that! any suggestions??

Highland crawler would know best, but I think the crawler guys run higher turn motors like 55 turn and up.

I would agree. Higher turn is a lower gear ratio. Right.? My drifter has a 8 t brushless. And just the slightest throttle makes it spin out easy. But thats what it needs.

I run a 19 turn in my scx10 with 3s lipo.  In scaler's u want that extra wheel speed because there not as graceful as a comp crawler and don't need as much fineness.  Plus they a way more fun when you can do some hill climes with them.

Adam is right, I run a 17 turn triple on three to four S packs myself and also have a hot swapable 35 turn motor for those times when finesse is needed.

Ah ok well thxs now it looks like i need to upgrade my 55t motor and even go with a 3s...lol    ADAM im coming in today or tomorrow to get new motor and 3's pack

ok so where are some good place to go do some trail runs and stuff like that im still kinda new to the area so dont know where to go

I went with Highlandcrawler and a bunch of other guys to a place in Gold Hill just off the I5 freeway, I think it was exit 43, that was really cool.  You exit the freeway and go over to the other side and turn right to a bridge and just under it are some great rocks for crawling.

Here is a video of one of those meet ups:
