Maverick Scout video and project photo

[-Rune]

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.

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...

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

[-Rune]

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

[-Rune]

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?

the black spring is stiffer its an attempt to reduce torque twist in the car 

[-Rune]

Ok, thanks for reply. Did not notice it until today, hehe.

Is it the same where it is mounted?

[rawalker666]

should be on the rear left shock the black one

[-Rune]

Thanks a lot

[rawalker666]

just noticed on your photos on your front axle on one side the shock is closest to the wheel and on the otherside its the link thats closest

[-Rune]

Well observed Now I have moved them to the right place Thanks a lot.

New body looks great

[-Rune]

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.

[nr73]

I agree, on something like this I would keep the stickers minimal.

New battery holder, waiting for new lipobatterier that will fit in the holder.

Soon ready for new adventures

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

[nr73]

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.

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.

Here is the new she'll for my Scout . Not as well finished as yours but it will do while I build the new chassis

[-Rune]

It looks very cool Congrats Z750jay   

 

It's Fun to build and put in new things, doing Dingo body now, cupe lights, speedometer, RPM, stereo etc.

Missing steering wheel and driver   Any good ideas where I can get it?
