NICE leroy...just notice the new catigory!

I Like rock crawlers especially the TXT nice

I figured up that my ratio was to high. I started and made me a new
reduction for it and changed where the motor mounted.

Looking good!:)

Cool txt! Why not use a GD600 for gear reduction? I have put mine through a 22t titan on 10 cells, 55t lathe on 12 cells, and a stock sliver can on 12 cells; it never failed me. (I think I put an HV-maxx on it once too...) I comes stock with a 5mm out put shaft that I milled down to 3mm with no adverse affects... (to accept 3mm pinions)

bye :018:

With the gd600 the motor would have been up against the battery tray.
The battery tray hold the servo for shifting as well. So I wanted to move it
to rear. The motor that is. I took it out for a test run. It was pretty neat.
Nothing like a maxx handles.

Nice lookin truck. How does it perform?

Shaun

great man!!

you even have got a new part on the forum.. :p

Nice! Like the new part of this forum! :)

Motor on truck is a feigao 12s.
I am running a 18.97 schulze esc.
I am running a 2s lipo as well.
Performane is ok. I need lockers.
I do have some body twist in it as well. will see about fixing that as well.
Overall am fairly happy with truck.
Like the way it looks more than anything.

What mah pack are you using, leroy?
Thats one thing for sure ; it looks good!
What are you crawling over these days, dude?! :)

I used a 6000 mah pack. Don't know run time cause didn't have a lvc.
I just played around for about 20 mins or so. I got some bricks.
wood pile. Then I have a stream and some logs in the woods to play on.

Sounds like fun! I bet with 6000mah it will run for a long time.

Well if not just add a 8000 in it. :d
It fits as well. If to slow I can step up on the voltage as well.

Just for reference, in my tlt-1 with an e-maxx transmission geared 12/76 +GD600 @3.8:1 with a kyosho x-speed motor (22t like traxxas titan) running 1600mah 2/3a 10 cell pack I got 55min to an hour of run time...

Bye:018:

I did me some modding. I changed the shocks on it to ofna front buggy
shocks. I moved the lower links up for more clearance. It seems to have
helped out some. The shocks seem to help the torque twist. I seen on another
forum that some one has a 4 t0 1 ratio for the front and back diffs. Does
any one know where to get this?

nice i bet those ofna shock work flawlessly nice.

Looks very nice. Have fun with it. :027:

I plan to have fun. I dont done the diffs to solid all wheel drive. :D

Great looking truck CHC!

Very good job indeed! Nice project! I like!

We (or atleast I) would love to see a video of this run, if its too much to ask Leroy! :)

I want to get it to do well before a vid. I am not happy with the performance yet. It may see a few more changes before video. I will surely post one when
get it. I got a few changes left before i do a video.

nice work.
can you show me the tranny mounts?
thanks, mike.

The tranny mounts come from this place. www.rc4wd.com I got them with
truck. It also had the battery plate to.

I did some more mods to it. I moved some links around cut the chassis for more ground clearance.

Does that have rear steering too? Also, how does the BL work for crawling? Any cogging issues?

2Nice!

I'll say it again... Its sweeet.

I put an order in for a new esc. I am going mamba max on it.

What motor leroy? 4600 or 5700? Or are you using the 12s on the MM.

I just ordered the esc. Going to keep the 12s for now. I may change that out at a later date. I am going for other stuff at moment.

Ok. What other stuff are you talking about?

cool, I read that you needed diff lockers. I have 2 brand new ones here that were made by a friend of mine from RCAlloys. Make me an offer as I have no use for them right now.

I got my diffs locked at moment. I may have something else in the future to
replace them. I am waiting on the word. I got to test truck yesturday. It
does better since longer. It has good articaultion with not much torque roll.
New parts consisted of new radio, servo, and few other small items.

This project is going to be sold. Thanks for looking :)

for your next TXT i have some 4:1 axle gears with spools :wink:

So did it end up selling?
