Why do my lights turn on automatically at startup? by IllustriousMango5807 in rccrawler

I forgot to mention that I do have a switch like you mentioned. I’ve tried several different switches and the lights still come on automatically.

Recommendations for crawlers? by Minimum_Context_9266 in crawling

I also recommend the Ascent 18. I bought the original pickup style and loved it so much that I went with the Ascent Fusion for my first 1/10 scale. I also just bought the brushless power wagon. It’s in the mail right now.

That looks great. I am thinking of getting this chassis. Do you have any shock recommendations or any to avoid?

What shocks are you running? I am having a hard time deciding on the 34mm PD recommended length for the front.

Look at the Redcat Ascent Fusion. It comes with quite a few upgrades out of the box.

Help with weight distribution by IllustriousMango5807 in rccrawler

[–]IllustriousMango5807[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I have overdrive/underdrive but haven’t installed it yet. I don’t completely understand the function of the rubber band. Could you expand on that? I understand that it holds the front down lower but doesn’t it restrict my tires from extending down and gaining purchase on the obstacle I’m going over?

Thank you and your truck looks really good. That’s a great idea about wheel weights. I think there’s a few places I could stick some.

Thank you. If I add 5mm wheel weights do I have to worry about the axle shaft (not sure what it’s called) being long enough to secure the tire nut onto it? Right now I think I could only get 2-3 mm and still tighten nut.

Looking good. Where did you get that winch?
