thanks, I use to race Jeep's so building this was a throw back to those days. i have a few things i have to correct, that will be in an upcoming video but waiting for parts is a pain. and some of the stuff that comes from China is just not useable. but stay tuned more to come!
I think you'll find that it doesn't crawl like you would like to because of weight distribution and center of gravity. You really need a 60/40 to 70/30 front weight bias. Your battery is going to cause a massive rear weight bias as well as raising the c.o.g. to the top of the rig. You also will do a lot better with a crawler motor and esc. You're not going to have the control you want with your current electronics. Holmes Hobbies makes some good affordable brushed systems. Nice suspension set up. Very nice first build though. Much better than my first for sure. Check out the GMade R1. That is the buggy Injora based your rig off of.
Thankis for the tips i do have a new motor and ESC on the way i got the hobby wing fusion se 1800kv all in one. as far as balance i'm about the 60 40 as you said. as far as crawling i have not been on big rocks but id seems to do very well, stay tuned for an update Video to come.
You’ll find that a high capacity battery is not necessary. With the low gearing the amp draw is no way near as a boat. I have a 4300mah 3S in a Vanquish Optic that will last about 1hr or so. If those wheels have removable hubs you can replace with Injora.
I think it might be the hex not sure but i ordered a set of them and some new wheels we shall see. i have ran the truck so stay tuned to see my final thoughts and some crawling.
That thing is SO SWEET!! I definitely want one!! Great Job! The proof is in the pudding!!
I will put a list together for people who want to build one in a later Video. It wasn't that bad on price, but i had to shop around.
That looks like a fun project! I have had good luck with Injora stuff so far on my little WPL. Looking forward to seeing it out in the wild👀👍
