NewBright 94:1 Gears by Flapding

[MrGimli2]

they allways make the gears to stiff

[bleachismilife]

very nice work i wish mine looked good and good call on the springs check out my vids please tell me what u think

[rockhopperz93xeedmax]

hahahaha, thats silly!! I didnt know you even could mod these things!! sounds like a dying bug... thats a nice house man!! cant you just buy an Axial?? Well good job anyways, it does work LOT better than stock!

[huggysthejellyfish]

nice,did it take much to mod?

[hilslamer]

@huggysthejellyfish

I honestly spent way too much time on this for what it is. But, it was a learning process and I enjoyted the challenge. I really didn't innnovate that much, I just used what I saw others doing and sort of combined all the best of the best.

[reddanx35]

How do you make the shocks like yours? I have the same kind of Jeep, only the shocks are very stiff.

[hilslamer]

@reddanx35

I found some springs at my local hardware store that were much softer, and simply replaced the stock springs. It was very cheap and worked much better immediately with little tuning.

[gravedigr23]

@reddanx35 i took out the springs in my and cut out about half an inch works great for me

[pp19961021]

that changes made to the truck

[airsoft948]

is it waterproof and are those different tires

[hilslamer]

No on waterproofness and yes, those are Proline Moab tires.

[huggysthejellyfish]

@hilslamer where did u buy the tires? and where they easy to remove and put the new ones on?

[airsoft948]

How can you adjust the shocks, mine shocks are very hard also i have the same one.

[master4anything]

where did u get it!!

[shard890]

@master4anything i got mine at radio shack

[driftingallnightlong]

what gear is it how many teeth on the gear

[hilslamer]

You need to learn to type in complete sentences, and perhaps use punctuation so that I can understand what you're trying to ask me.

[driftingallnightlong]

its what gear did you use or did you make a forum

[hilslamer]

That's the crawl ratio, after gear modifications, yes. No Forum.

[nitroiscrapp]

no matter how much time or how many mods you do to these things they end up scrapp . they are toys dissposable . . as texx to post big crawler a new video bet he carnt its scrapp

[hilslamer]

As fun as it was, I have to admit...they are just toys. Mine is retired and still works, but is pretty loose in every respect...

[driftingallnightlong]

what are you talking about flapding gear kit

[hilslamer]

"Flapding" was a login on a web forum dedicated to the NewBright vehicles - they were some of the first cheap, simple but capable ccrawlers to come out for less than $100 - and so had a cult following for a short time.

[zoso0987]

gotta let some air outta the tires man! :D

[pbu69]

hi. nice crawler. what motors and tires are you using and what website did you get them from? thanks!

[hilslamer]

Tires are MOabs, ProLine i think. It's been so long and that was such a fleeting project that I can't remember the motors, but I do remember getting them from Jameco Electronics.

[blackcell2047]

omg

[pat123pat456]

I have one too but it's the larger one but it is stock any suggestions

[kx85kid12]

i hate mine my wheel poped off when i was rockcrawling

[hilslamer]

As a "toy" crawler, they take some patience.

[NOFEARAVK]

were do you get those

[bigdworley88]

k hey hilslamer can u help me i have one of these i want mine just like urs mine is boneeeee stock how can i get the shock coils an like how do i install them an like any other help or suggestions ? please help im new at this

[hgfgffggf]

where did u get the thin shock coils

[hilslamer]

Ace Hardware - they were acutlaly a tightly wound spring and a stretched the coils out to fit the stock guides/towers - crude but it made for nice soft sprigns that ook a nice set.

Sag is at about 60% of vertical wheel travel - not so good for ground clearance but twists and settles nice, with lower CG for less propensity to rollover. Taking the body off makes it handle infinitely better too, but then it's just not a jeep to me...

[jdm94923]

Thats a walmart toy?

[hilslamer]

Why yes, it is. Although WalMart quit carrying them...

[figjam65]

is that a hobby or just a toy?

[hilslamer]

In the realm of R/C rockcralers, it's definitely considered a "toy" crawler, although it does surprisingly well for what it is and what I have into it...

[andreaxtx]

yes! yours have same desine but have not the performance of beadblock or type nylint. i say so because you can see that your tires don't crack, don't wrink like or your crawler is light or tires are heavy and i see not so high. look for wheel of your dimension more soft your problem is that is like if you have a 20" tyre with 22" wheel you need a 16" tyre...good my italian explain :))

the less expensive are the nylint. the beadblock are expensive...look for exagonl!! and try.

[hilslamer]

Good suggestions, thanks! I'm a little busyt o tinker with this right now, but will be back to it eventually...I have plans for it....

[TractorKid7]

nice!

[andreaxtx]

nice car but i think it's still original. try to change tyres with other like moab or if can nylint it should be have more grip!!

[TractorKid7]

lol i think those are moabs!
