If you put magnets in the wheels you could go straight up steel girders!

Yeah, the performance goes way up when you don't have as body, even a very lightweight one. It's a balancing act that you have to decide for yourself on how much body details you want to and how much crawling performance you're willing to sacrifice to make your rig look pretty. Me? I like a pretty rig!Wanted to see how well the RGT did on an incline and was able to get like 46° with smooth wood no grip and body on. Added some carpet and with body on did 49-50° and without body did 53-54°. Can tell with a little more weight up front should get a few more for sure. Pretty awesome though for what little I've done to it! View attachment 132796View attachment 132797
Ya I'm kinda in-between as I want a good looking rig but also want the most climbing ability I can get. Probably look into a different body eventually that I can paint and will be really light being the thinner lexan.Yeah, the performance goes way up when you don't have as body, even a very lightweight one.

It does for sure but definitely part my fault for not looking at the parts on the rig prior to ordering them. Not the end of the world and rig is performing amazingly with the changes so far I think next will be a better esc to smooth out the slow crawling but otherwise I'm extremely happy with itSucks about the steering parts.
Ugh don't say that we need an El Niño winter at least or there's going to be nothing left of Northern Cali next yearYou better get that course done before monsoon season! Unfortunately I'm been reading we are in for a cold dry winter.
Dude, you just need to build a Snowboy 2.4gHz!I can handle the cold as long as I dont have to shovel snow lol
I'll take all the snow happily! Dont care if I have to shovel feet and feet as we need it so bad it's not even funny! Haven't seen good snow in a good almost 10yrs which is killing us up here. Shoot I'd even take a winter like in 92 where we seen over 22 feet in a month. Had days where we got like 8 ft overnight and had to crawl out of the second story windows. Hate to say it but we need a winter like that so bad!I can handle the cold as long as I dont have to shovel snow lol
Awesome, always nice when you find hidden gems you left yourself and forgot about definitely a good excuse for a new buildI run the HW 1080 in all of my crawlers with Holmes Hobbies motors. They are an awesome system for sure. I was boxing stuff up in my shop today and I found a CrawlMaster Sport 550 still in the package and completely forgot I bought it. Good excuse to build another crawler...
Ya I've heard nothing but good about both so really looking forward to getting them installed and seeing how much better the rig does.That’s a nice setup, esc even comes with a little program card. Easily 2 of the best bargains in crawling...
