CC-02 Tyre upgrade
OldSchoolRC1 replied to Bill123's topic in Monster Trucks, 4x4, Wheelie Rigs and Crawlers
MST KM tires are excellent and still very scale looking. About the same size as Tamiya BFGs (Slightly smaller than the Rock Blocks) -
Blue and Silver are my go to colors for most of my rides, though no specific pattern.

DT02/03/04 Gearbox Reinforcement.
OldSchoolRC1 replied to Eric Bloodsmith's topic in Build Tips and Techniques
Would love to hear some of those tips myself. Snapped off that mount on the first pack with the Super Hornet. Yes, same material on the DT04. -
More caster on the front wheels gives more bite when crawling. I'm not 100% on the science, but I've tried with more and less caster and more definitely helps. Technically, it helps with directional stability and easier steering too, but you'd never really notice at crawler speeds. If you were planning to run on the faster side, the 15d is probably fine. For crawl duty, definetly go with the 25d setup. It affects the rear too if you are doing 4WS but I can't really say how. Similar I guess.

One of my TRX4's clock in at about 4600 grams. 1750 is pretty light!

Love it - that looks fantastic! The TL is such a versatile chassis.

Clod shocks A-OK
OldSchoolRC1 replied to F-150's topic in Monster Trucks, 4x4, Wheelie Rigs and Crawlers
I ran single Axial AX10 shocks on all 4 corners of my otherwise stock clod. Made a huge difference! Didn't look as cool, but just the right amount of dampening and a little more flex than the stock shocks allow. -
Just for fun. Driveway and sandy parking lot running mostly.

F150 Baja Trail / Race Truck
OldSchoolRC1 replied to Mad Ax's topic in Monster Trucks, 4x4, Wheelie Rigs and Crawlers
One of my favorite Tamiya kits! ....And always a good read scrolling through a Mad Ax thread. -
DT03. They fit right on, no problem.

First time running the Evo - what a hoot! It handles far better than any Hornet has a right to. Built stock and running the silver can - it's pretty fun right out of the box. Only made it through 1/2 of a battery pack before the upper link mount broke off the transmission. Ouch. Going to raid my daughter's DT02 until I can track down the parts. Kind of a freak thing, I wasn't beating the heck out of it. Odd place for a break.

Built in the short WB configuration and just added swaybars, turnbuckles, and some PL tires for now. Very cool little buggy!!
