RC crawler

If you want to morph your big rig clod buster, there are reputable parts providers that make putting together an upgraded vehicle less of a nightmare. Some tips to keep in mind while building or tweaking your remote vehicle:


Make use of quick disconnects makes digging into your RC crawler to find problems much easier


Set your tires up to run with the tread reversed


Add weight to the front tires stick-on weights or BBs are the norm


Mount shocks upside down lowers the CG


Use a rounded body style your rig will be more likely to flip back upright after loosing footing


Lock differentials with JB Weld or hot glue for best security, order machined aluminium lockers


Load your tires with foam try the new memory foam inserts from KreepyKrawler Design


Get the best radio you can pistol grip models can limit your response find a radio that allows you to do 2 stick steering, front and rear


Dont skimp on servos you need power to crawl
