Rc crawler setup guide

Should I soften the front, the rear, or both to get the wheel back down with maximum grip? Seems like it's common to have a relatively stiff front and soft rear.

OllieP- soften up your front suspension, and possibly raise your rear links at the axle. GiJoe- take those spacers of the sides and move those upper rear links back in against the mount. See what this does for you! Originally Posted by Tgreer. Last edited by GiJoe; at PM.

I think your rear uppers are to low at the chassis, try going up a touch. Are you running any knuckle weight or weight in the tires up front? Also that last pic is way too much articulation, you want to fit a 2. Last edited by Tgreer; at PM. BB code is On. Smilies are On. Trackbacks are On. Pingbacks are On. Refbacks are On. Forum Rules.

Re: Suspension Set-Up I know this is probably old news to some of you, but I just read it and thought of this thread. Re: Suspension Set-Up Based on suspension set-ups I've seen on other crawlers in pictures , I set up my rear upper links to the highest hole in the Losi adjustable mount.

Re: Suspension Set-Up it affects the rear anti-squat. Re: Suspension Set-Up I'd guess it will also add some bump or should it be "tilt" steering, which typically isn't good. Re: Suspension Set-Up for my setup, running a softer front has proven more beneficial than stiffer.

With lots of people actually creating rock crawler courses, there are quite a few of them to analyze, and while lots of them actually look really nice, a lot of others make you wonder what in the world the builders were thinking.

If you are looking to build a rock crawler course that you and a lot of other people would be proud of, then we are here to help. We are going to provide you with a step-by-step guide that will help ensure that your new course not only looks nice but is also incredibly functional and fun.

If you want to see some of the best selling RC rock crawlers you can find them by clicking here. To see how some people have different types of RC rock crawler courses set up you will want to check out the videos below. Now that you have all the supplies and materials that you need all purchased you need to make sure you have them all together so that you can get started properly.

Look for a spot that perfectly suits your needs as per the size and shape of your course that you have decided on. When you have found a good spot, lay down the plastic. Be sure and overlap the pieces of plastic by about 4 inches to prevent the weeds from coming up in between each strip.

Next, put a large heavy rock down on every single corner of the plastic strips that you have laid out. This helps you to get a more stable surface to crawl on. As soon as you have covered up a fair amount of the plastic in the medium and large boulders you have picked, continue by stacking and interlacing more boulders and smaller rocks on top of the first layer of large and medium-sized boulders.

This would simply be building another layer. Continue laying the rocks to make layers until you think you have made a course that provides enough challenge for your crawler.
