-Rune Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Hello from Norway! A small video of my Maverick Scout on my first crawler trip http://youtu.be/bX2mEezc7cU Are there any of you who have experience with these on Maverick? http://www.fusionhobbies.com/product/j51033-junfac-2-2-wheel-widener-x4-19mm-offset Would have liked the car a little wider, rolls fast sideways.

ghazghul Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Awesome landscape in Norway. Very jealous. Almost unlimited mods you can do on these, just do a quick search on the forum. I'd go lower height and weight wise before you go wider... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byron185 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Nice video,just lower the body,weights in the wheels for now that will make a massive difference also remove the bumpers for a bit mor ground clearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rune Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Thanks for the tips I have read and read about crawling, cars, batteries and setup. It is probably true that the simple is often best. Starting with lowering the body and find a new place to receiver, esc, and weights in the tires. I will update when the job is done and tested. Fun that you liked my video, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rune Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Hey. Turned the top plate upside down with some modifications and mounted esc and receiver under there, lower center of gravity, i hope Will make attaching the battery in front of somehow. Also shortened shock absorbers with a cm. The cable that comes out on top is to Led lights. Can not wait to try it again But, I wonder, are the cars come with three gray springs and one black?

rawalker666 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 the black spring is stiffer its an attempt to reduce torque twist in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rune Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Ok, thanks for reply. Did not notice it until today, hehe. Is it the same where it is mounted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawalker666 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 should be on the rear left shock the black one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Rune Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Thank you Neil I will post more pictures just I am getting on a bit more sticky labels. I think i go for less labels and more clean look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nr73 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I agree, on something like this I would keep the stickers minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rune Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 New battery holder, waiting for new lipobatterier that will fit in the holder. Soon ready for new adventures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rune Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 My new Dingo-body og my Maverick Scout. Not quite finished yet, just hook up LED's now so it is ready for new trips Ready for a trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nr73 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Looking good. . I need to make up a similar battery mount to what you've got on the scout, I run a small 2s lipo and it's in the perfect place to get bashed or punctured by a rock. I plan on making a compartment for it out if thin sheet aluminium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rune Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Ready for a little crawling trip Scout x 2 and homemade trailer in aluminum. (The green wire you can see under the body on the first car, is the power cord to the lights on the trailer.) Thanks Neil! It's a really good place to have your battery, get a little extra weight in front too. The one I've used for battery mount is really a towel holder I have added weight in the wheels, 160 grams front and 140 in the rear, it helped Will take a picture one day of how I attach the battery now, I also run with 2s Lipo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
