RC Crawling - How to Score a Run?

Way overpowered scale/crawlers are fun for sure. My Wraith may just be my favorite RC that I've ever owned.

Thats what I was gonna do with the Ryft or the Bomber. Mod it to 6S

Bottom line is, do whatever makes it fun for you personally, since that's the only person you have to please, unless your name is @Tunedpipe then your wife's crawler better be what she likes!

The wife resembles that remark hahaha.

The Ryft has severe torque twist. If you buy the kit version it comes with a sway bar, but even vids I have seen of it the body still tweaks pretty hard on launch.

Theres a mod for putting dual shocks on teh back that supposed to work better than the sway bar at countering that...or was that in conjunction with the sway bar? can't remember now

Not sure what axles it has. The ar44 on the 10.2 is supposed to be less torque twisting then the original scx10. I want to say the new axles like the trx4 eliminates it more.

You know what would make cool trail markers? Miniature versions of those inflatable wiggling guys like they use at car lots and stuff.

And if you touch one your rig blows up!

Maybe I could work a couple in at the finish line with an aquarium air pump

As someone else already mentioned torque twist is an issue. Not to mention, I don't think the axles will survive 6s. I've ran the Wraith on 4s a couple of times, and it's ludicrous speed, 3s was my usual go to.

My Bomber is too hyper on 2s

Yep, If I were to do that Id run the double rear shock mod and sway bar and I dont doubt that 6S will break stuff in the drive line. If I couldnt beef it up enough Id back it down to 4S or whatever it would handle. I just want to do it to say I did it lol

Understood, nothing wrong with that. I run Creeper Bob Ti axles in the back of my wraith. The Pro4 snapped a stock one like a toothpick.

It has a really soft suspension on it to fly over rocks. So beefing it up with some heavier springs and shock oil would probably work wonders.

Apparently Talbot already did it.
