Ordered my 2nd redcat today

[forist]

Just ordered a Rockslide RS10 1/10 Scale Crawler, looks like a blast to play with. If anyone else has one let me know what you think of it plz.

Ive heard great things about it. I was actually thinking about getting one, but now i want a rampage haha.

They are ok, especially for the price. There are several things on them that need improvement before I would even beging to try and comp with it. But for a casual MoA crawler they can do just fine. I contemplated buying one, stripping it down to just the axles and building a full blown comp rig. but it wouldve costed about the same as buying a set of Bully's or berg axles.

I like the bully axles think I might change over to them later down the line.

I run a MoA Losi, it performs exceptionally well. Just wish there wasnt so many of them on the crawling scene

 

[badboy2]

man u still run 1\10??you need to run that rampage more often hehehe.


gratz on the crawler bro!

it is getting cold here so the TT is going to be in hibernation for a few months. Will be upgrading to get set for fresh running this spring. The rockslide will be a inside winter toy to pass the time

I love RC crawling. I first thought it would suck to go so slow....its frickin awesome! The concentration required to hit your lines and perform very well is great. Plus its alot cheaper, parts wise ,than trying to go super fast and wrecking. Plus I can crawl in my house, from my recliner

Post up a pic Beast, do u have any hopups on it. And what would u recommend for starting hopups if any. This will be my first crawler.

Heres a few pics, don't mind the wiring job. Ive cleaned it up and changed the mounting positions on a few things.








Specs are:


Losi Comp Crawler


HB Rovers (not in pics)


Tower Pro MG995


Eritrex MoA kit


Punk RC Dig unit


2xIntegy v35s


Tekin FXR


CC Bec


3s 30c 1800mah Zippy Lipo


Traxxas TQ3 with Momentarty pushbutton mod.


Im working on eliminating the CC Bec, and Tower Pro MG995 servo. As soon as I can source a MKS HV300 servo I can run it directly off of the 3s lipo. Which will clean up the wiring alot more.


As far as the Redcat RS10 goes, I will dig up a few threads on RCcrawler.com to help get you started. The best thing you could do right off the bat is buy some Rovers (at $25 for 4 they are cheap) and add some weight to the wheels.
