Firat crawl for the Ascent-18 Baby Blue. Modified it a tad, leaned the shocks in and moved the upper rear links to the upper hole. All went well until I broke a rear lower link. I 3d printed some new one and was back in business. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/redcat-ascent-18-lower-links-gramps50-2
Bought some Duratrax Showdowns mounted them on some metal beadlocks and installed them on my SCX10 Deadbolt. I actually thought I had bought some Deepwoods but put the wrong tires in my cart. I didn't realize it until I had opened one of the packages. Oh well let's see what they will do. Took them out the my backyard crawler course that I am in the process of rebuilding and tried them out. I will say I was impressed they went right up the slope that a couple of days ago running the same wheels with some Injora Supper Swampers ( Hyrax clones) could make it over the top or even to the top for that mater. The 1st scene in the video is the very 1st attempt at trying to go to the top.
Took the Happymodel Cine8 out for it's maiden flight today. It was pretty windy 10 mph steady with 20+ mph gust so it made flying a challenge. It did much better on 3s than 2s the extra weight and power helped.
My buddy and I took our SCX24's on our weekly Friday Night Crawl. He's running his Deadbolt and I running my Power Wagon which started life as a Jeep JLU
Took a stock SCX24 Deadbolt with a Holmes Hobby Tourge Master Sport 050 55T motor and tested it with and without 7.6g each wheel weight extensions. Tried to run the same line on my indoor course starting and stopping at the same places. Won't say which segment is using weights, you be the Judge as to whether there was a difference or not.
