I have to thank you so much for your channel. I found it maybe a month or two ago and I really enjoyed your style of entertainment. It got me off my butt and I fixed a … shoot I don’t know what you would call it but it does the crawling thing(exceed madtorque) and I forgot how much I really enjoyed driving it. And I just figured out I don’t live to far away from the ranch. Again thanks for getting me to my work bench. I’m mean it’s no super duper rock crawler but at least I’ve got something.
I have broken two portal input gears, they became dust. One front and one rear, broke in 2022 after a long trail drive over hard terrain, had the same car since 2019 so i am not dissatisfied with it. Also lotsa brass and very heavy wheels and violent driving style and Fusion
🥇 great video please make a video showing how to do all the crossweight movements you're doing to the truck to show how you = your calculations on the crossweight and CGH with front/rear up would be alot easier to understand and be able to do it with my rigs I'm guessing you use the pencil ✏️ under tire to scale to do cross weight thanks canyon
Are you going to try that new Furitek Python X esc? I got one ordered from Furitek but I don't think it's shipped yet. Should have waited and ordered it on Amain.
That's a lot of brass snassy brass. About the same amount I used on my 10.2 LCG build I just finished, and it works great. Is it too much? I dunno, maybe? All I know is that it works great. :D I've seen a few people in the 24th scale world go way overboard with brass. Like building the whole damn thing with brass parts, and not just unsprung weight. Some even do chassis rails, skids, towers, all that stuff you want to be light, in brass. Sure, it probably looks cool, if you really like gold colored stuff, but it kind of defeats the purpose. You just end up with a tiny rig that weighs well over 1.000 grams, compared to 300g or so stock.
I'm sure you're aware of brass inserts for accepting hardware in 3d prints, if not, well, they're a thing, heat set into the print, then you have a proper thread to screw into.
Don't tell me, tell them. I didn't print those infernal parts, nor do I think that 3D printed parts have any business being in an FMM, inserts or not. Will I end up at some point having to reverse engineer that part out of a proper material? I'm all but certain.
@@CrawlerCanyon yeah I missed the start bit and just caught you problem solving the rig. I think printed parts can do just fine in a brushed rig but there has to be consideration taken in the slicing and print orientation. Infill 100% and layer lines perpendicular to prevailing forces helps a lot. My Capra is running a flat skid and link riser which have survived so far. The first riser I printed failed right along the layer lines which is when I started thinking a bit more engineery about prints.
@@thindigital Im running a 3d printed skid, shock towers and upper links (look like wishbones) everything has been good so far. 100% infil and yes print orientation makes a big difference. Also running my own design of 3d printed beadlocks, they seem ok so far.
@@drowildcat2960 this has not been my experience, did you have some parts fail? I wouldn't run PLA parts on my slash or rustler but regular PLA plus parts are working fine for me on slow crawlers.
I'm so ready for fall...I did a 2-night camp and crawl last week...the forecast said we had a cool front coming in and it was supposed to be in the 80's. Turns out it was over 100 without so much as a squirrel's fart worth of wind and enough humidity to give me the Yeti sweats for 2 days straight.

Yes!!! A plus 1 hour episode!!!
Agree 💯% !
I love that this episode is over an hour long. I’m sitting here putting shocks together 👌👌👌😎😎😎😎
I can't say I've ever regretted adding unsprung weight.
I do love a bit of eye candy, Treal be looking real nice 👌
Morcheeba!.. I met them back in like 97 at the troubadour when I was interning at capital records. Excellent choice… 👍
I feel your pain with the heat, I moved from Palm Desert to get away from it.
I would be indeed honored to have a shock stand on my bench Mr canyon 😎😎😎😎💯
This is such a great episode Mr canyon. 👌😎.
The rig looks awesome but I really love the shocks stand 😁
NOTHING EXCEEDS LIKE EXCESS
That heat has to be rough on the trucks and of course humans
Diablo and the color remind me of the robot devil on Futurama, lol

I dont know know that there is too much as long as its lower than current center of gravity with foward bias in mind
That body color is pretty cool 😎.

Love your videos. What paint and color did you use on the body, it looks really good.
That is Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric Specialty Coating HVP110, Burgundy. Available at most any auto parts store.
@@CrawlerCanyon thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
As ace Ventura says. A much to much of much to much 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You seen my trx4 and it has way to much brass. For me to much brass is when it takes the fun out of driving it.

3D printing has its place for some things like 4 cosmetics but for RC parts 3dprinting a complete joke
