Status: online 		Yeah, I probably mis-spoke, as I am not a crawling expert.. (actually, not an expert of any kind.. unfortunately.. ha!) I just thought that for a crawler, since it is going so slow.. the thing like caster angle, damping of the suspension, etc. isn't as critical as say a higher speed basher.. but thanks for pointing it out... ! My bad assumption!

Status: offline 		It's fine, i'm not an expert either, just thought i'd share what i knew. I'v been doing a fair bit of reading on suspension geometry lately for the TLT scaler.
This thread goes into detail about suspension geometry, helped me: http://thecrawlpit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2448&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I found this interesting steering setup, where the link from the servo is connected to the drag link.. instead of to one of the knuckle!

isn't it kind of difficult to mount the servo at this position? I believe the mounts for the axle fixation couldn't be used then. Do you have more pictures or where did you get this one from?

kind regards

No, I just saw it from another forum.. only one pic..

Status: offline 		Hi,

actually I think I have found what I was looking for. This seems to be the best solution to attach the servos at the TXT-1 axles. The challenge will be to make the carriers fit because I don't have a drawing yet nor the right tools for building it.

Have a nice day

Keep us posted!!

The pin holding the U-Joint together fell out after 3 minutes today

This was the first time in months that I had the TXT out since I broke everything

Status: offline 		It was a press fit.

I'm going to see if I can find a dowel pin small enough that will work, press it in there and then jb weld the ends so it doesn't happen again.

E-mail rc4wd, I bet they will take care of you...

Status: online 		Yeah, take some pics and e-mail them, to see if they can get you some replacement that you can use as spares in the future..

Maybe you need to order a REVO shaft as back up too, ha ha!!

Status: offline 		I was sent a whole new shaft

What I am going to do is JB Weld where the pins are at and hope that it keeps them from falling out again.
