RE: OFFICIAL WHEELY KING CRAWLER THREAD
Reaper,
Yes many people have had problems with the transmision "clicking" when the two spring loaded gears inside slip past eack other as the tranny is loaded heavily. I would guess that this was designed in to facilitate reverse to forward wheelies, and due to the fact that a traditional slipper would slip to much this featuture was designed in. You can look at the parts breakdown in the instructions to see what I am talking about. I like you have had no trouble and from what I have read it only occurs under a high load, most people who have had trouble are using them as hopped up higher speed bashers or as larger wheelbase(15-17+ inches) are the majority of the people though some others had the same problem.
Back to my project status I finally got around to finishing the links and axle plates tonight and got in all mounted up. I also got the brushless motor I mentioned mounted and wired. Unfortunately I miss-calculated and now have a 13 inch wheel base[sm=omg_smile.gif],oops. also I lost one of my stub axles[:@], the damndest thing is I just saw it like 2 hours ago. Maybe I will find it tommorow when I shorten those links. Well one step closer I guess.
To Do:
Mount shocks
Complete tube chassis(cab)
Setup steering servo mount and linkage
Lock rear steer
Mount up electronics
Make body panels
Most of the had stuff is out of the way, here are some new pics.
