unimog=FAIL!

[s14slide]

so its been 8months since the last post. Are you going to answer what kind of motor your using? How about more specifically, is it a sensored motor?

[pigeonfarmboy]

Must have missed that question. (Usually I'm very good about answering everything)

Most of the time I use brushed motors that are 45-55 turns. Lately I prefer Novak & Tekin.

I've also been using Holmes Hobbies 7t Cobalt Puller motors. Those are just simply badass. (Make sure your drivetrain can handle the power)

If you prefer brushless, I like the Novak Goat sensored system. Lots of adjustability and easy programming.

[rccrawler1396]

what motor do you use?

[rccrawler1396]

that bug is bad!!

[thumbtackwarrior13]

go truck

[driftkid93308]

the bug had a damn good setup

[Monkeykid5228]

that black bug a axial ax10 scorpian???

[pigeonfarmboy]

AX10 wasn't available at the time this video was made. They are Tamiya TLT axles.

[mjbooner]

man what shocks fo you use on the bug and will they fit the ax10 rtr??? please respond 5

[pigeonfarmboy]

They are Traxxas Big Bore shocks. They will fit on an Axial rig but are a shorter shock shaft/body.

[mjbooner]

are they soft

[pigeonfarmboy]

Soft enough, you can change springs if needed though.

[teamlosi22]

seems to be pretty much a cake walk for the 2.2's but hella fun for the 1.9s

[breitenbach13]

lol the first car was hella funny =]

[mathwiss]

droop suspensions on all of em?

[pigeonfarmboy]

No rigs with droop on this vid.

[PowerSports420]

whats droop suspension, I hear alot of talk about using it???

[pigeonfarmboy]

Shock is actually working backwards from a standard coilover setup.

[PowerSports420]

Ohhhh, so it working like my racing dirtbike, spring is on the bottom pushing up, right???

[pigeonfarmboy]

Yep

[sjowners]

people have way too much time on their hands, looks like good fun though!

[pigeonfarmboy]

Yeah you're right.....I'm going to take up the crack pipe now.

[pwnuallgearsofwar]

u should make a nitro crawler

[pigeonfarmboy]

I'd rather try to remove my spleen with a spork.

[squirrelnutcased]

amen brother!

[pimpofselah]

i made my old stampede into a 4 wheel drive with a emaxx 4wd set up and then i put wheelie king suspension on it and and it sets like 8 inches off the ground because i put clod axles on it and alum drive shafts nice vid

[karl9562210]

that yellow truck was funny

[ejoty49]

the black one sounds like a jet kinda is it gas or electrick

[karl9562210]

electric

[Bw321a]

I'm thinking about converting my T4 into a rock crawler. do u think i can do that? and if i can what will i need to do and what parts will i need to convert it? thank you.

[pigeonfarmboy]

I wouldn't waste your time. There are too many budget-minded kits and ways of building crawlers to even consider modifying a T4. Write me a message if you'd like more help.

[vanter6]

can u not buy a kit of rock crawler then lil a rtr or summit?

[pigeonfarmboy]

Axial makes the AX-10 Scorpion kit and HPI makes the Wheely King 4x4 which needs some conversion for crawling. Check out rcpcrawlers[.]com

[Ducks101fan]

like moab for rc eh? lol

[H4Ck3RDuD3]

Awesome vids man, whats the song its crazy.

[pigeonfarmboy]

Radiohead "Just"

[RAWFODOG188]

pretty cool. what is the average cost of a 4WD electric truck/buggy and what is there a website you can give me so i can get some info. on them?

[pigeonfarmboy]

Check out rccrawler. Great source for any information you need.

[4x4wrangler]

u seem experience can u put bb's in jumbo kong tyres wat does it do

[pigeonfarmboy]

Well not a whole lot. Jumbo Kongs are pretty much useless.

[nitrohippy]

THE RIG WAS SUCH A PIMP MO-BEAL,

[nitrohippy]

nitro is cooler

[hammeredscout]

Awesome video, but we can't pay for some of those mistakes in real rigs.

[deathydeathface]

thats pretty sweet. that buggy does so well :O nice suspension setup

[deathydeathface]

That buggy looking one they did a follow cam of near the start sounds like its powered by a jet engine Oo... why?

[pigeonfarmboy]

Outrunner brushless motors sound like this.

[kyaphus]

gotta love that sound... its like a diesel! lol a jet diesel :P

[Pro60modman]

sweet brushless setup

[headgear102]

Dude those are KICK ASS.How much are they?

[pigeonfarmboy]

Expect to spend $600+ for full hobby grade crawlers. Corners can be cut however if competing isn't your main goal.

[headgear102]

thanks how about a website

[BurstAngel4]

do u know if Bruder has a website?? im lookin at buying 1 like ur buggy in the style of a truck.

i have a body not sure if it will fit

[lamborghinihudini]

that unimog truck is so badass!! nice vid!!

[kevan0317]

Awesome SW2 brushless rig. I wouldn't be suprised if people model their own rigs after this one.

[pigeonfarmboy]

I'm definitely not the first.

[badatnan]

where did you get the vw cab over body sick video

[pigeonfarmboy]

A European company called Bruder makes them.

[J0llyR0ger]

Those are SICK! Where do you get a r/c rock crawler like that???

[scooby300]

This is the nuts mate love it!!!
