I went for a light weight build on my Nessie build and got it to 1997 grams ready to crawl and I could have gotten it lighter with carbon fiber wheels, but needed a wheel with more negative offset.
Movie trailer or voice over voice is amazing ! 2200g = 4.85 lbs amazing, 61% bias and 72mm CG is very nice. plastic balls :) Enjoying the build and the dedication to it. Looking great and performing very well. Just need drive time to get used to it now with all the different changes, not sure i would make another change without more drivetime to see if she needs anything.
center cut, try staying farther left entry with the rear, very first attempt it dang near had it cant quite tell what caused it not the take it on the first attempt, but it pops rear too far right on that vertical ledge rock.
I’m at 2239grams running weight with my 10 Pro 61/39 front to rear and I’ve been killing with it. Two podium finishes in my last two comps and four of my last six.
I think I had made 2218 in this video, lighter in the next one, and even lighter as he sits right now. If I'm going down the rabbit hole, I'm getting to the bottom.
@@CrawlerCanyonmy 2239g is with the stock transmission still. I’ve done the 1:1 gear delete and deleted the standoffs, that lightens it a good bit. I’m also running no sliders or bumpers and titanium hardware on the rails with a 450mah 3s.
My VRD doesn’t weigh much more. It’s sits at 5lbs even fully dressed with battery. I definitely need to build a an SCX10 Pro or a VRD with straight axles
Great vid Mr C. I do want to reduce the OD/UD ratio as I also think the 40%'ish is to much. I was thinking, you could tether the ball's with a short length of braid so's you dont have to fight the gopher?😂
@@CrawlerCanyon Do you really feel the S4 pins are better on your rocks than the tusks or is this a performance per dollar rating? On the rocks here in Central Montana the S4 pins were just OK. Now that it’s in the mid 90’s or hotter the JCG’s (J Concepts green) are golden, but the S5 pins, proline predator (obviously) and Extreme routes are all terrible. I don’t think I’ve ran the S4 pins when it’s been hot and maybe I need to revisit them…..
Yeah, it would be the same final. It's just (for whatever reason) a whole lot easier to find the 8-27 than it is the 8-33. I can get a 2-pack of 8-27 all day for $25.
Titanium is roughly aluminum weight, and roughly steel strength. Being very general, of course. They are also blindingly expensive. The cheap-cheaps (of questionable grade or just outright ungraded) start around 40 cents . Something 25+ millimeters long can go $3-5 each. Heavy is cheap, light is EXPENSIVE.
Mostly recycled MDF from a cut up speaker box. I want to build a few more, but don't have the capacity to bring home a 4x8 sheet of MDF, and don't see another home delivery for obstacle stuff until probably October.
@@STP_RIDGELINE a normal person would have just gotten a lazy susan mechanism from the hardware store for $5. I routed matching grooves in two pieces of MDF with a 1/4" ball-end bit and then filled the grooves with ball bearings.
You're not kidding. I don't know how many 12+ pound TRX-4s I've head about. Daphne weighs 7lbs, and her wheels are bricks. Even Ironsides is single digits. I don't know how they do it.
@CrawlerCanyon it blew my mind when I held someone's 12 pound trx4. No idea how it's done 😂 I put 2 I think 118g brass front outers on my trx4 and that has been more than enough for weight.
@CrawlerCanyon you know what that dude also had cantilever suspension in the back 😂 I'm pretty sure I saw sparks from the front wheel scraping that's how bad it torque twisted 😂 and apparently it was his best crawler? Idk I'm tired lol
@@me-rn7jx I know how they do it, I just don't know how they live with it. There's an AliExpress brass axle housing that's 500g for the housing and diff cover alone. I think you could put together a 2kg axle. BUT WHY
@CrawlerCanyon oh that is horrible🤣 I thought the front bumper brass part was quite bad. And also do you have gmades air filled wheel? Or system idek lol but I saw the bighorn tire review and it looked dope.
You've got me flashing back to my cycling gram-geek criterium days. Shall we now call you the hoarse whisperer?
Wow, you have taken the 10 pro to the next, next level.👏

Rigs lighter than 2kg are unpredictable in most places.
@@themountain59 how do you mean ? tuned rig is just that no matter the weight.

Damn, you sound intimidating today.
This episode is what i was waiting for. Ive been mind dealing this for the last year, where can i take off weight.
Need to do some wire management, shorting everything to the exact length should loose so more sprung weight

Now try some tusk with printed inserts.
They won't beat the pins. They'd be very good I'm sure, but not good enough to justify the fact that they would cost over four times as much.

Definitely took the Blue pill on this one 🔵…min/max🕳️🐇
I sleep with a fan on. Lol
Can’t sleep without 1
@@sprather84 indeed lol
could you change the 8-27 in the rear for a 8-33 in the front for more gear reduction?
Yeah, it would be the same final. It's just (for whatever reason) a whole lot easier to find the 8-27 than it is the 8-33. I can get a 2-pack of 8-27 all day for $25.
To light maybe. Try some other tires perhaps.
ARe Titanium screws lighter than your steel ones?Or aluminium bolts if you want to go crazy

@@CrawlerCanyon Absolutely fair!
there needs to be a pause when doing clarkson and the quote... (pause) "in the weeerold."
Your sick bro, take a break.
What did u use to build susan???
Mostly recycled MDF from a cut up speaker box. I want to build a few more, but don't have the capacity to bring home a 4x8 sheet of MDF, and don't see another home delivery for obstacle stuff until probably October.
@@CrawlerCanyon nice also you used some kind of bearing setup for it to spin???

How would i talk to you about some decals , I would like to purchase from you......😁

This is me also.
And then you go over to trx4s and everyone who has one make them weigh like 10-15 pounds😂😂
