Just got done ordering one of these crawlers. Looks like it will be great fun especially in the house, I think it will make a good couch crawler.

i have one they are well built, bead locks,links,frame all aluminum, 3-channel fm radio, fan cooled speed control, the batt, is a 5 cell hump pack, im getting 3 hrs run time, i do not know how they can build it for that $$$$ way cool,!!!!, everyone should have one for when you are waiting for parts, , , ,,

Are you talking about the Rockslide RS10 with a 5 cell battery? I have one with a 6-cell 2x3 battery pack - not a 5 cell hump pack, is this an upgrade? 3 hours of run time seems long compared to my 20 - 25 minutes with stock battery pack. I agree the rig is well made for an entry level crawler....

 

[hardcore]

mine has a 5 cell hump pack, its the one that came w/the truck. i have been using it as a demo, charged it once , ran it at least 2 hrs, in fact my buddy just left w/ his 2 kids and they have had it outside for a hour and it still is going, i will say im not useing a stk charger, maybe thats the diff.

 

[austexjg]

What does your battery look like - two rows of three batteries in a square block configuration covered in black plastic? I just purchased a RS10 and the battery does not last that long - a good 30 - 40 minutes at slow crawling speeds. I am also using a Dynamite Vision Peak Ultra to charge the battery pack. How long have you had this truck as a demo?

 

[RampageHopUps]

Discharge and charge a few times. The pack will get better, and make sure you are putting all the juice in.

i got mine last thursday, if i could i would show you a pic, im not pulling your leg, i have a herd time tilling the batt, but it spends most of the time buzzing around the yard wide open,

 

[Pete379]

Isn't the battery a 1500 or 2000 mah? Can anyone tell me is it nicad or nimh? Either way I think its going to be great fun! Hey Rob, do you know when Redcats coming out with any upgrades for the crawler?

 

[austexjg]

It is a 1500mah battery - at least that is what mine is.

No more comments on this crawler?

 

[RampageHopUps]

The HBF guys seem to like it. So do the RCCrawler guys.

 

[austexjg]

What does HBF stand for? A rc forum?

I think it is very cool little crawler, i put a 5000mah battery in mine because the original only lasted about 20 minutes, the stock servos seemed to work fine but i change mine over to the rock crusher servos by airtronics, with the 5000mah i get tired before the battery does

 

[austexjg]

My back servo only lasted 2 weeks - time to upgrade for better torque. Any suggestions?

 

[Obeast44]

Ive used the Tower Pro MG995 servos for years with great results. They have208oz. of torque, metal gears with dual ball bearings and only $10-$14 each. Used one for T/B on my Baja with front brakes and it could lock all four wheels in gravel. Out of the 8 I have purchased only one has failed in the last 2 years.

 

[austexjg]

Thanks for the info. - I have been looking at those - what about the MG996®, I guess it is an updated version?

 

[Obeast44]

Yes they are the updated version. I havent tried those yet though. I will when I run out of MG995's.
