Popular Post Jimplops Posted June 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2020 Pick this up today, liked them since I first set eyes on one, this is the original one with carbon chassis rails and single speed transmission. Plan is to strip it down and give it a clean and lube, then repaint the shell on the outside with a fresher brighter colour. As you can see it's big. Looks better with the roof off. Makes the KR4A look small, which is a fair size itself. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimplops Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 Having done a bit of research about the esc, out the box the founder is speccd as 2s max, but the esc is a custom HW Dual 860, which is capable of 4s, and the newer founder 2/cragsman rated at 3s on the same spec esc without the winch, winch controller on the founder spec is 2s, so bye bye winch hello 3s 😁 makes life easier 🤣🤣🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimplops Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 Few details, my 3600mah 3s fits nicely in the battery tray 👍 Carbon chassis and aluminium gearbox Poison Spider licenced axles and bumpers Forward mounted battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimplops Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 Been around awhile, asiatees was the big stockist, and rcmodelz in Blackburn was the only seller over here off the top of my head lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimplops Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Took the founder out for its first run with me, current suspension set up could do with a bit of tweaking, nice and soft for trail, but once it gets a bit more edgy too soft, so will play around with damper oil and preload. I've got some rc4wd rock crushers that'll go, as the tyres on there don't have much grip even vented. With the battery mounted high up in the front is noticeable, so may have a play around with battery position. For it's size it is a cracking truck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimplops Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Cheers, That's Rivington near Bolton. It came ARTR so just slapped one of my batteries in. Had a quick mock up to reduce the centre of gravity, swap the carbon plate and the electronics box around and then mount the battery tray across the chassis just behind the front wheels, that'll drop the centre of gravity by 25mm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
