Losi Comp Crawler build

great job paul. . .. . .

weather is getting pretty nice now. . . .

time for some crawling

papa chard any news on my up coming crawler...... lets rock and crawl....

nice!


so lets get em carbon fiber panels all scratched up on the rocks then mate??!!!!

...

is there a possibility you can have the rx inside the chassis? probably on top of your dig servo? ..... much safer there ...

hey strawb

plan is to try and get the rx inside , there is space in there now as i have gotten rid of a lot of excess wiring.

dont want to do it on the dig servo cause i'm trying to keep the COG low, so will probably mount over the motor or directly behind the battery...i have some ideas just need to test the wire routing....

was aslo considering moving the dig servo to were the original radio tray with new mounting plate (rcbros has nice one) and then putting the esc and rx in the chassis too...

the CF is only a sticker....so we can scratch it up proper! hahaha

time to get this finished so we can craaaaaaaaaaaaawl!

great ideas .... just get er finished so we can get this badboy all scratched up!!!

hey paul, i got the rcbros low COG dig mount. . . and the OTA steering, my problem is the same as yours, where to place the RX coz i only have room for the ESC behind the dig servo almost near the rear axle. . . . and the MMP esc is quite huge!

wanna see how you solve this. . . . and i'll follow you

will have to see when i get the mount...i will keep you posted

to save space i have been testing my goat esc with the fan off to see what temps its reaching and so far it hasnt even burst a sweat...so reckon i can save some space by taking it off.....dont think you can remove the fan from a MMP...thats where those tekken esc come in hand...nice and tiny

@paul ..... ive had my goat without a fan for quite some time now .... ive binded, blurped, throttled it like crazy and the temps are just at a normal warm stage ...

@ richard

have done a quick test fit to see how things will work with the low COG dig mount (still waiting for it to arrive)




ESC now sits where the dig servo was...plus theres still plenty room for a fan if needed, rx is above the motor mount, ESC cap fits nicely in front of the ESC......will shorten some wires to tidy up the install....all seems to fit well!



i will remove the battery tray and make a lexan plate on the links to support the battery which should help nicely get the weight on the front axle

Nice....are those the HX connectors from hobby king?

Yip, good spotting Andy

Decided to give them a bash, I actually really like them, they super easy to solder, solid quality and way cheaper than deans!

The also really easy handle, any keen to see how the do! So far so good!

Yeah, I use them on the planes and heli's .....they work really well. I have found that the heatshrink doesnt stick nicely to the brass....
Thay are easy to solder, but be careful you dont overheat the brass.....or it melts the plastic...ask me how I know...

andy the best way to avoid that it to plug in a spare connector to the one you are soldering, then even if you start to melt the plastic the pins will stay in place, then only remove the spare connector once everything has cooled also put some tape over the spare connectors exposed brass tabs when soldering battery leads so you dont short the pack by accident....

since i started doing this i havent duffed a single plug

no issues with the heat shrink here

nice one paul. . . . i'm almost finished with mine. . . will post pictures when i'm done. . . .

the LCC boys can go MOA on a Beetlejuice as well


check this out


LCC MOA Beetlejuice

thats pretty hardcore!

but if i was gonna do that i reckon i'd just get some berg axles and start from scratch

yup, i think i'm going to keep this rig a shafty. . . .

and if i want an MOA. . . . . i'll get a bully or a berg or an xr10?

when will we get to see this thing hit the rocks here in alain?

i reckon we have 2 weekends left before the heat really comes in!!!!
