Check eBay.

Nobody sell pre-painted from the factory. You will have to find one that someone has painted or have someone paint it for you. There are a few members here that offer painting services (NCNitro, Candyman, Lessen).

Those three guys are excellent at painting. You can check out their work in the bodyshop section.

My LHS has the novac rooster combo for 130 would this be a good upgrade power wise? My concern is the manual for the LNC says the motor is a 55T 540 size it seems like the rooster would be the power? I def need more power it stalls out and won't pull itself up stuff I think it shouldn't have a problem with

 

[abadk9420]

I would not recommend that combo for the LNC, it does not have enough speed and will be crazy slow, most of the people I know that have the LNC or LCC are running either a Novak brushless 2s or 3s Goat ESC with a 18.5 motor combo, or a Tekin brushless system. The other option that works but requires moving some things around is Castle Creations Mamba Max or Sidewinder with a Traxxas 21 turn 550 motor, you could also look at the Losi brushless systems.

the 18.5 would be better than the 21.5? i ask cause their the same price

Yes because it will give you a little more wheel speed when you need it.

I'm gonna order the goat 3s tomorrow but do i still need a bec to give my 7954 servo enough power? or should i just get it to be safe?

 

[abadk9420]

As long as that servo runs fine at 6 volt you should be OK, The goat 3s combo comes with a external BEC, it is not as high of a amp rating as the Castle BEC but my buddies is working fine running a a hobbico cs-170 servo that puts out 333oz of torque...

I'm gonna order a lipo battery but dont really want to put it in the battery tray..does anyone have pics of a LNC with the pack located somewhere else so i can see it and get some ideas?

 

[hamz9561]

I mounted my pack on the back axle of my Mini Rock Crawler to help redistribute the weight and lower the center of gravity.

 

[slowngreen]

Are you going to run 3s?

 

[Aaronlnc]

i can run either 2 or 3.. so whichever is best I'm assuming 3s is the way to go.. if you say 3s then yes that is what ill run...and got the goat 3s system all installed and bec..everything works great...thanks for all the help everyone

Nice!!!! looks like your on your way to a nice little crawler course, Now you just need to find more bigger rounder rocks for the course.

 

[slowngreen]

Yeah for sure go with 3s. Small packs though 1500 or less with as small of a foot print as possible.

 

[Aaronlnc]

ok thanks...and i know when the esc is in neutral te red light is supposed to be on but mine wants to creep forward..does that mean i need to adjust the dead band?

 

[slowngreen]

Your trim might be forward to much.

 

[Aaronlnc]

yea the course is just a bunch of busted up concrete from some work around his house and some stone from his jobsite..we plan on goin to the river and grabbin some rock from there. I'm not a big fan of all the flat stone but its somethin to play on for now..and we can easily mix it up to create new lines

i had to back my trim all the way off and its still not hittin neutral. it stops but the red light doesn't come on
any 3s packs you recomend?

 

[slowngreen]

These are pretty good and only $25 shipped for two from Hong Kong.


If they get them back in stock, I really liked these before I went to 4s, for $10 a pop, might as well get a few too....But they are out of stock.
