Alex97 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I've always wanted a crawler, with my new 4 channel radio it would be rude not to. Great start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting a light kit, which, better wheels, tyres, better electronics, and scale accessories soon. You should get crawler they are fun and well worth the money they are a money pit tho as you will always find stuff to buy for it.

Tomlad Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Nice looking good. You will have to keep the thread up to date with your upgrades. I'm really wanting a scout but need to leave it a bit as I have just spent a fair bit on my e firestorm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitrab36 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Hey Kiza. Cracking build mate. The standard body really does let the looks down, That's why I changed mine too. Have a look at my current build for a few ideas. My scout build ! Putting weights in the wheels and star cutting the foams made the world of difference to mine. Any grease is waterproof if you use enough. 'Waterproof grease' or marine grease as its really called is made to not be broken down by salt water, unless your running it on the beach or near the sea Tamiya grease is fine bud if that's all you've got.

I can't see 60g & 30g is going to make any noticable difference mate. Get some more weight in them and watch it transform it into a very stable crawler Edited February 16, 2015 by Mitrab36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretch Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 nice thread, i haven't found my scout to be a money pit as a few cheap mods make it quite capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiza1208 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 It's been a long time since I updated this. So the latest on this rig is it's been boxed up after a few things broke on it and I ran out of funds it will be coming back out of retirement soon I hope when I've been working for a few weeks so I can afford to get some upgrades for it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
