Status: offline 		Oh ok so the 1/18th is actually pretty small. The pics made it look much bigger! lol. I wouldnt be paying for either one if I got one.. My birthday is the 12th so my parents would be buying it . But, I'm thinking instead of buying one of these I'll just get parts to make my txt-1 crawl even better...


Thanks,


-Brandon

Status: offline 		i have the sixth scale one and it's awesome. I put savage shocks on it, cut off the suspension stops and traded the belt in for metal gearing. I put my neice in a clothes basket and towed her around the yard with it. it's got great power for what it is. It also has a really good run time. I'm just babbling so if you have questions let me know.

Status: offline 		i was looking at their site and noticed that the 1/6th is digital proportional stearing and i'm wondering if this is also for the 1/18th?

Status: offline 		The gears i used are just ones' i had laying around so no i don't have a part number. what i did was matched the small pulley on the motor with a gear then matched the big pulley with a gear but had to make a bushing to fit it on the shaft then i got lucky and had one to fill in the gap. I hope this makes sense. I find your own you could measure to the center of each shaft then take the pulleys to your hobby shop and find the closest you can find, subtract that from your measurment and get one to fill in the gap. I just put the center gear on a shaft with two spring clips to keep it from moving side to side then on the outside of the gear case i put two more spring clips. I think this all makes sense, if not please let me know. After putting the savage shocks on I have a little under 12" of travel on one wheel. My next step is to replace the blue trailing arms with something a little more flexible. The biggest problem i've found is that they don't use many screws. Most of the connections are pressed in and can be a pain to get out. anyhow, thanks for reading

Status: offline 		I dont know if anyone can actually answer this, but the general thinking (or at least in my oppinion) is any hobby level RC should or will most likely out perform a non-hobby level RC. Again this might not be the case, because this crawler seems to be the new rage.

I wonder if this would turn out to be anything like what's happening with the wal-mart car.

Status: offline 		Thats nice, but my problem with it is its 9.6v instead of the standard 7.2v. You have to buy all new special battery packs for that
