    Thanks alot buddy. Coming from the canadian maritimes! Waiting on my budget wpl 24-1. Ill check to see if i have space in the wheels for washers before i buy weights. I dont mind that glued in look.

    Great video. You meantioned about using a screwdriver on the hot glue. Next time try some rubbing alcohol on a Q-Tip. Soak the hotglue and let it sit for about 2 or 3 min and it will peel right off.

    That’s a really good mod that I need for my bandit vxl to keep those front tires down when I do speed runs ! 👍

      It might not be the best for speed. You’d have to be pretty precise with placement or the tires could be out of balance. Worth a try though.

    Nice one! I've used sticky wheel balancing weights inside the tires before. ( I asked for some at my local tire repair shop to begin with, but they aren't too expensive on the internet. But I've gone over to using plumber's solder wire. Cut 4 lengths of solder all the same,. remove the tire, put some double sided tape around the wheel "well" (the centre part of the rim where the tire doesn't touch) , not hot glue as it will cool off before you've finished, wrap the solder wire around the sticky wheel "well". I then wrapped electrical tape around the solder wire to keep it in place. Tires back on and you're good to go.

      Awesome idea! Sounds like it’d add a good amount of weight 👍

      @@skybasherrc2372 Yep, if I recall, I've added around 300g to my non scale crawler that way alone. FTX Ravine, (Danchee Ridgerock in the US) Plus sticky weights on the axles, so over 400g of weights.

      Not sure. I just took one of my wheels to Lowe's Hardware and picked out which one fit better. Good luck.

    What is a good set up on the spur gear n the pinion gear for the ascender. I'm going to run a crawlmaster 550 12 turn or 15 turn...not really worried about real fast wheel speed but want to really get good torque n slow crawling...Thanks

      Mine is still stock. Not sure what gearing it has. The 35T motor has done very good paired with the Hobbywing 1080. Sorry I can’t give you info. on gearing.
