Low gear. It was like a fast walk, high gear was an uncomfortable walking pace/slow jog. The bumper was a direct fit 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i mentioned I was going to mod an existing switch on my Radiolink RC4GS......well that didn't go so well. Managed to cut the aerial cable during the partial re assembly (don't ask!!) so now its FUBAR Thinking of alternatives, I've got the 6 channel version of the above in mind but(around £80 with 2 receivers) but any worthy alternatives around the same price, considering that if you pick the 'power bundle 2' at Modelsport you get a 3 channel Absima CR3P and 1 receiver I am going to use my radiolink rc4gs, I do not see why this radio would not work, I use the radio also to shift on a tamiya 3 speed semi truck, you can program the 3 and 4 channel for it.

No brains Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) it is starting to look like something did some building on the chassis and build the shocks, going to skip some steps and do that later, I am waiting for the servo and esc.

Popular Post No brains Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 Lost week it was snow and freezing, this week it looks like it is spring over here, so I take advantage of it and painted the body The body is metallic black and the seats ar white, the black has a nice sprarkle in it but in the picture you can not see it maybe later when I make some pictures in the sun. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those seats will contrast nicely with the body 👍 I ran mine today, but I was having too much fun to snap any pics this time 😁 The Holmes Hobbies motor has completely transformed it, I can't recommend it enough! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post No brains Posted March 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Put the steering servo and the shift servo in today, I had to order another shift servo, I had a micro servo but that was to big ,ordered one from hobbyking and this one fits fine. Program the shift servo on my radiolink 4 channel radio, it work like a charm there is a push button that u can use with the 3 and 4 channel. And built some part of the axle.

I realise now that I was modifying my RC4GS for no reason. Had I actually READ the manual, or had a faff with the settings I'd have found out that the push button can be set to momentary (stock) or position1/position2 with each press. DOH! Oh well, I'll update to the RC6GS when I finally get to order Coming along nicely there dude 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPeaski Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 When things start to come together, instead of doing a full build thread like @Stormbringer and @everclear1984 have done, I'll post changes or differences to their builds. I've got a couple of things I want to try with the paint scheme so I'll put them in too. I always knew I'd get one so prematurely I ordered some alloy beadlocks from Ebay and tyres that @Stormbringer linked to earlier in this thread. I'll post them when it comes to it in the build schedule. Can't wait now, and I feel like a kid in anticipation of Christmas 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yrkoon Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 got mine on monday a day early woot and got to work last evening and this afternoon untill a wee while ago, seems a pretty awesome kit to build and it is my first crawler so a bit of a learning experience as well, which is part of the reason i wanted a kit for my first big crawler, when something goes wrong ill know how it goes together 🙂 any one want a pic overload? first steps let there be motor starting to look like a chassis screw they alloy rods on front and back i had to switch places with 2 it is starting to resemble something had my end bits on the end of all the drive shafts at the wrong angle for when it came to fit the shocks lol ohoh shock time i hate building shocks, thankfully dad knew what bit to file down to make them slide up and down a lot smoother then i found out the fun bit because i miss aligned the angle on my drive shaft bits i had to do some dismantling to get the shocks to align lol and now it resembles a truck, muddy wheels because im waiting on bead locks and dad had his old tyres/wheels all ready glued behold the glory dad gave me some red alloy thingies still got a surprising amount of grease left over, im used to tamiya kits that hardly have any, any ways i need to start sorting out my leccys for it and spray the body, has been a enjoyable build so far and i have more knowledge than before i started, also had a laugh with dad tonight who kept spinning his pc chair around as a back seat builder, some was useful some not so much lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
