Ramrod420 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I have no idea what kind of parts I would need to make it more of a crawler but is something I can do without waiting for the differential housing gears that are back ordered until AUGUST!?!? I want to play with this car again and right now it's just sitting because I don't want to break it anymore. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part axi232053 is backordered until August. I can't let this car just sit around until then. Any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I can't see what it is good at out of the box:P As a basher it kind of sucks, and with the amount of power this thing comes with it seems like they want it to be a basher? As a rock climber or rock racer it just doesn't work with the diff setup and cogging. Will for sure go the crawler/rock racer route with mine, and lock the diffs etc.. Please teach me how.

Also gonna lock all 3 diffs (parts on the way) Also ordered the LMT servo saver. Next step is to get rid of the Spektrum RC/RX because I don't understand the bind/start up procedure. Have to switch the RC on and off several times to make it work. Besides that I want a roll bar, but can wait for the Axial option to be available..

fastolsen Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Any tips on 15T pinion for my Mamba motor with 3mm axle? Traxxas 32Pitch is not a good fit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian-2.0 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Sway bar fitted 😁 and they are spot on for size I only had to trim the length of the metal piano wire rod down to size and make the bushings for the sway bar clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian-2.0 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I have changed the lower links now to different ones in the picture to the Axial ones with a slight angle so fit much better now 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastolsen Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 So, I fitted the Mamba X and a 1900kv sensor motor and it is so smooth compared to the spektrum system. With a 12T pinion I have the low speed control and enough wheel speed on 4s to make it up the bigger hills. Locked the rear and center differential. Next is to wait for the sway bar option and drive as much as possible.. Also thinking of switching the RX/RC to my KoPropo system because I hate the bind struggle and the feel of the cheap radio... Little bit curious on how the driveshafts will hold up, but with my smooth driving I hope it won't be a problem:) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Finally got round to fitting a B-Link to the Mamba X. I also wanted to run the Rockracer mode on the Aux wire, but was getting Aux Wire Glitch warning beeps, I tried all sorts to try and fix it and it turns out it was a ill fitting pin in the Aux Wire connector, I took it out the connector and fitted it directly on the RX, problem solved! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Still having issues with the esc. Looks like it’s toast, got the right hump, so the servo and rx are going in my Pre-Runner project 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
