That’s awesome! The defender is a very challenging crawler to drive but it can help build skill quickly and is a lot of fun. I’ve seen people get them into places I would have never expected
@@JustScalin Yes I've heard that it very top heavy. Couldn't get it with out that body though it just look too good ha. I'll probably take the back wheel off and get some weight on the front.
Sounds good. I’d suggest a metal servo horn and then run it as intended for a few weeks then mod as you feel you find the limits. Either way it’s an amazing truck and a fun hobby so welcome to the club!
Thanks for yet another great video - super clear and helpful. My first crawler, a superb red Traxxas Defender, has just arrived. Cant't wait to take it out on the trail !
I just recently acquired a Redcat Everest Gen 7 Pro in black, that is slightly modified (removed the roof rack items, and after a while added aluminum suspension links from 4wd rc and did a flash hobby 45kg servo for the front lifted the bumpers and tucked them all the way in except for the rear one which is one out from the "all the way" location, i also lifted the suspension of the truck by dropping the top of the suspension one down from where it was . I have the tire on the back using a couple of rubber bands using the bumper space and the top hook on the stock roof rack (everything else is stock) took off the snorkel and added stickers, and added a couple of chains i had laying around IT LOOKS AWESOME motor just kicked out yesterday, and im replacing that and the transmission, and driveshafts to upgrade the whole system. do you think I should do portal axles? i kind of want to
It’s quite an old platform so I’d keep it relatively stock and save up for something more modern to mod. I can highly recommend the NWSD rails and one of the best cheap RTR options is the element ecto
Great information. I've just ordered my first crawler the defender. Looking forward to learning a new hobby.

I'm glad I got into this hobby after being a full size offroad enthusiast my entire life. Made picking up the hobby super easy and extremely fun..
Very good explanation. Crawling requires thought and patience.
As a newbie, I found this understandable and very useful. Thanks!
Great, glad I could help!

Great to hear! The Defender can still be fun crawling with a bit of practice. It's a definite challenge

I’m finding content everywhere on how to assemble crawlers , which is great, but very few videos about how to crawl.

Watch the right line first!
I would have lost it off those rock 25 times already
You’ll get there. Take it slower than feels necessary at first and build up from there. Almost always going slower will be better than faster
sorry about the length
