Amazon off brand, HobbyStar 1250kv motor (Out runner RC plane motor) Castle Micro 2, BEC wired direct power to servo 5.5v 2amp, Amazon aluminum 3gear SCX10 transmission (originally all steel gears/replaced spur and pinion with plastic mod1 Redcat spur and metal Redcat pinion.) Amazon 45kg (7volt max servo). AR45 Straight axles, using the front links and shocks from that kit. I was using a 3s 45c 1300mah battery. Think either the servo is still to much for the system, or was a poor soldering job on my part. Servo seems to glitch at times. Guessing the truck's weight to be 5 pounds or under.

@@dublintwentyfour7163 Very nice build.👍🏾💯

I'm so glad you took the moment to watch and ask, your truck is looking and sounding so sweet! May just have to build an lcg, lightweight, micro, setup.

Don't think they will fit Capra axles for what you're trying to do. Wouldn't just buy them without a back up for them. It does use standard interchangeable offsets, so you could make it wider. Going to thinner stance will probably interfere with the portal/wheel clearance.

@@dublintwentyfour7163I really appreciate the feedback! I’m gonna give em a shot hopefully it comes together.

@@HighhScore Good luck, it is a nice wheel either way 😊

It is kind of chill.

Pretty sure it was running a BL120, 3200 or 3600kv 540 size (off brand motor), and a 3s 50c battery.

Pretty sure it was esc. Just started rolling backward, then nothing. Going to dry it, take it apart, and inspect.

It was the wire of the motor to esc, pinched across a sharp edge of the motor can. Motor got hot enough to melt the wires. I suppose somehow the signal for "reverse" received some voltage. That was the only damage I saw, now seems to work fine. But I did change the esc in the truck to the ISDT90.

Thanks, hopefully I will be getting this one back with a dig system.

This truck is only gonna get better.

Built this one a few years ago, then robbed the parts to build up other stuff. Missed running it so slapped in some electronics and hit the dirt. This used to be my best performing truck. I think with some better tires and a 1080 it would be my #1 or #2 truck again.

This one I do really like, it's one of my better performers. Used a setup similar to a stubby revolver motor and micro esc. Power system was less than $100.

Thanks, one day I will get a scale RC4WD rig. Until then, still trying to that scaler on the cheap 😁

That particular day it was just cheap Amazon metal portal axles. Now it has the trx4 clone axles as well.

Thanks for the comment and subscription. First time trying to build a "Scale Truck".

Yes, most definitely! 1st time to hit that. Truck weight is like 3-4 pounds. Great ESC rated for 3 pounds or less I believe. The transfer case + Redcat portal's + the grass, yeah overheat time

Thank you, one day it will get painted. Hopefully it will be presentable when finished.

Thanks! After the test run it gave me some ideas. It is going to be crawler, but maybe built it up like a "sleeper". Could you imagine a capable crawler smoken a slash off the line! Ordered a body for it, I think for the style of truck I envision, the body will fit the look perfect.

There is a lot I want to do with that truck. Trying to build "scale" from scratch is pretty difficult. Should have just bought the TF2 kit, it would have been cheaper and look better 🤣

Still figuring out the UA-cam thing, wanted to know what the "shorts" were so had to try it. Seems interesting, will figure out a way to make it like a sneak peek for other vids. Still figuring it out. Built up a couple of foam board planes, got all the pieces and fixed the edf jet, found a 5th scale to put my os72 in. My ankle has healed up for the most part, will start searching around town for good crawler areas, and open fields to fly the big stuff.

It does have a little bit of twist, I can not directly compare both items. Do I think it's worth it..... Hell yes! I have been overwhelmed by cost vs performance. As it sits right now, it cost as much as an RTR TRX4 Sport. It performs, only in comparison with videos I've seen, as well or better than an decked out TRX4, with all the features. When I started that build, I only wanted to see if the $100 frame with the forward mounted motor and low setting mid battery would be a good start on weight distribution. Then it became wanting to build a TRX4, on a budget. Then it became a beast of a crawler and I didn't so much worry about the cost, just improve performance with Injora parts. If you like the idea, check out Exocaged RC. He has posted a recent video of the new complete kit, as it comes to you. Bashed it for a video, then put a brushless system in it for a second video. If you're thinking about picking one up, watch his vids, that will answer your question 😁

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. Trying to build this one up in a cost effective but capable way. Already have some ideas for changes before it sees the rocks again. Keep an eye out, this truck is sure to show up again.

Since that video I did add some low end weight. As far as the battery placement and size, the smaller batteries seem to do better for the roll. Heavy batteries seem to pitch it forward on declines. I think the chassis itself is pretty nice for a platform to build off of.

Mine is still running, just packed away for a bit. Hopefully the ankle will be well enough to get more vids posted. Got some head and chest phone holders, hope to get some flight vids..... I miss flying.

Thanks for the comment! Wanted to do a simple run before I packed it away for a bit. Doing some house work, on a recovering ankle. Vids will be few and far between for a few weeks. Will at least try to get vids before each one is stored. Found more stones in the yard while mowing, that tarp/stone area looks to be a good start.

Was like $25 for eight of those little pods. Then direct power from 12v battery. Can hook up straight to ESC batter wire as long as you run 3s on the truck. It's pretty simple to set up, but you don't want to run too many. Amp draw is multiplied by each left (I think) So 1 LED bulb drawing 12 volts at say 0.02 amps, turns into 10 LED bulbs pulling 12volts at 0.2 amps. Those on that truck are just twisted together and heat shrunk, so I can take them off and run in a different truck if I choose. May do a vid showing different lights, those two types are the most simple to work with, and pretty much waterproof. I have had other that are brighter still 😁 those take a little work.

Definitely taking this to the rocks when I can !

Thanks for the praise. Hope to be able to get some actual run videos soon. Found a place not to far from me where they hope crawler events and competitions. Think the last event they held was beginning of April so it seems they are still active. Pretty rocky area will be nice to put these trucks to the real test.

@@dublintwentyfour7163 very good then I will wait for it. 👍👍😉

Yeah, 1st time sucked bad. Extreme pain for 6 months, then therapy. This one was a day surgery to remove the plates and screws. Not as painful, or just desensitized from the initial surgery. Hopefully 8-12 weeks should be walking unassisted again. Will still have to do therapy but maybe just once a week instead of 2 or 3 times a week. Good news, the OG SCX10 is just about together. Was going to use all the plastic stuff, but had so many aluminum parts, went ahead a slapped that stuff on instead. May try and do a run video when I find the electronics. 1 project down 🤗

Heavy rains, gotta love nature 😁

ESC is the Hobbywing 1080. In this video it was a 5000mah 2s 30c. I do use 1200mah 3s 30c, 1200mah 3s 75c, 1400mah 3s 45c, 2200mah 3s 30c. Lots of different brands, eflite, venom, gens ace, tattu, others I don't know right off hand. Generally I will look on Amazon for good price and good ratings. Bad written reviews for batteries I avoid buying.

terima kasih sudah berlangganan. Saya berharap semuanya baik-baik saja di Indonesia. saya harap ini adalah terjemahan yang tepat.

It seems to do ok. My slap the ar45 kit on it. 100mm shocks so will raise it up some. My other idea is to use the Axial 3 gear transmission put dual motors 17 or 21 turn, and use the heavy portals with the zero reduction portal gears. Those axles seem to produce a lot of amps so generally only use 550 can motors. But dual 540's low turn small pinion, could be ok.

@@dublintwentyfour7163 wow ,dual motors sounds fantastic 👌👍👍😀

It is coming along. Just trying to decide if I want to run the cheaper tires to see if they break in. Or just go with some decent proline, or pitbulls.

With that particular one, made the wheel base as long as I could using rear links both front and back. Tried the idea of having stiff rear Shocks so the back doesn't buckle on an incline. Try to get good performance from budget parts. I generally just build, I have a few RTR trucks. I like the RTR stuff, but if I can build it for less, from individually bought pieces, and have better performance, just makes since.

Thanks, it started as a "budget build" has turned into something that I'm trying to make super capable. It is a surprising project!

Also sub'd your's. Gonna get some flight vids someday, just need a camera man.

@@dublintwentyfour7163 just get headstrap to either hold phone or gopro, thats what i do👍👍

@@rcplaytime I could give that a try. Only have the phone, will look into something. A long time ago I tried to film by taping the phone to a ball cap. That didn't work to well 🤣

Thanks, crawling is pretty much all I've done with the trucks. Even when I bought the Element Trail walker, first thing I did was take those 1.55 tires to the rocks 🤣 it didn't do that great, but I still had a good time.

Thanks! Was thinking about getting another vid today. Slapped a body on it, taped the holes, think it's time to hit the ruts 😁

Got an hour and a half of footage down to 28 minutes, accidentally deleted the edit. Another 3 hours of editing got it down to 22 minutes. Yay! Finally got it done, still messed up a little..... No intro screen, and some of the fast forward stuff wasn't muted. Will get it down one of these days 😁

Only slightly. Should see some TTC (Tough Truck Competition) footage. People walking 3 feet into knee deep soup to retrieve a truck that now weighs an extra 5 pound because of all the extra mud....can't wait to go 😁

Thanks for checking it out! First time using a video editor, still figuring things out. Kinda glitchy but sync's with music every now and again. That luck happen-stance 🤣 Think I'm going to have fun with editing, watch for more!

Well it's a castle creations system Mamba X, I have it set in a crawler mode 100% drag brake. You can set it for 0% which will have no braking, or whatever percentage you want to allow for some freewheeling. It would then just depend on how heavy the truck is as to how fast it rolls down a slope. You can get some setting features with simple remote control programing through trigger pulls, or more advanced setting through the computer and castle link connection. This particular one was not that cheap, run around $200-$250 but I on a personal note do think it's worth the cost, as other sensored brushless setups can be most costly and allow for less features.
