Build Thread Meus MB24 - Mr Crawly

[WickedFog]

Still debating which servo to get. It will either be the Torq servo or the Ecopower WP173-X24. Waiting for more reviews.

Ordered the Ecopower WP173-X24

Well

It turns out the Meus Isokinetic axles I bought came with a servo mount already installed. I previously had read somewhere you have to use their servo mount, and that is unfortunately correct. So the Ecopwer servo above that I just bought with the built-in servo mount will not fit these axles. The tabs that slip into the axle are way too thick

So back to the drawing board on the servo for this build. I just installed an Emax servo, but I am not happy with how little torque it has. Maybe I'll try a Reef's or NSDRC servo in it.

Little update because I kinda forgot about this build actually. I am going to see if Furitek's unity motor fits in this guy, because of the limited room in the chassis. I'll have to wait til I can pull it from the Doomsday build for a test fit. But if it works, I'll be ordering a second one.

Curious what shocks you ended up using?

Stock SCX24 shocks. I may swap them out later, but the aftermarket springs on everything I've seen are way too hard. Like in the Doomsday 6x6 build. The aftermarket shock springs would hold up a brick. So I found a seller on ebay that sells springs and I ordered some lighter ones. Now it sits at full droop.
