hey wats up? i have one of those trucks i got it for 20 bucks from toys r us[:@] and i got the "rock crawling" kit too like about 4 months ago... i want to know if you locked your rear diff? because i want to lock mine but i dont know how.

i just used super glue to lock the diffs.. it works good. crawls much better. but watch out for the axles that go to the wheels cause mine broke because of all the stress with the locked diffs.. FYI

mine has no climbin power i got the crawler upgrade on it but ill put it on my bed and try to crawl up the pile of blankets and it cant get up it. still tryin to find some way to get more power maybe ad some batterys to it. im lookin for a motor but havent found one yet. still thinkin bout tryin the xmod esc but not exactly sure how i would put it on

lohocla

does the crawler upgrade come with a new motor??

MAXX4X4

yea it comes with a motor, shocks, body, and wheels and tires.

when i switched from alkaline to nimh AA's i noticed more power to the motor. i rec to use nimh AA's. ull notice the difference. trust me..

i got a 6-cell batt back that came in one of my airsoft guns. i may tru and hook that up to see what i can get out of it. them hook up my esc from my xmod so ill have better speed control

i just got back from webetoys, and got one of these and the crawler upgrade, $10 for the truck and $5 for the crawler kit. i have to say the flex on these things is impresive, i want a little more power, and im going to mod the shocks, i think one of my x mod motors will fit in this thing, hmmm im going to try and get some mo power, u think just some recharable AA's will be a little power boost?

myae86rolla

yea u will notice the extra boost. i kno i did.. thanks

tjarr001

th xmod motors wont fit. they are a little too small but may be able to make it work with some moding.

myae86rolla

show some pics of that xmod motor fitted when its all ready to go. i would like to see......

tjarr001

i wanna see someone use the xmod esc so i will know how to hook mine up.

Anybody have any video???

u think it will be ok to glue the rear diff on this thing, with the stock motor and everything, maby if i am just carefull to not break it. i think with a locked rear this thing would be like the ultimate rc u can buy for 10 bucks

EDIT: well i glued my rear diff just now, it wheels a ton beter, and the turning and such does not seem to be affected much if any i cant really even tell, so we'll see if anything breaks, but if it does oh well, i will buy a couple more and have a parts truck, if u take these thing apart they are actually prety beefy, the weakest part prolly being the dogbones. but i guess time will tell. man these things are fun fer a whoping $10 bucks.

hillbilie

whoa where can i get this one in the pic, i cant find any info on it or where to get it, but it looks cool

i dont think that they make those anymore. the ones being talked about in this section are a newer version of that. but i would like to have that one too.

lohocla

Yeah unfortunately the ssmt is not made anymore. Ive heard they have been found in Canada.
You might find one on fleabay. I did for 14.95 which isnt bad. but I didnt buy it and now I see them for sometimes 50 dollars.

hillbilie

yeah thats prety much what i thought, that pic was the first time i had seen one, and they looked prety sick, i little more like a real crawler. oh well though mine wheels awesome now with a locked rear.

tjarr001

i locked the front but not the back yet. ill do it this weekend along with installing the xmod esc. ill take some pics and maybe post a vid if i can figure out how to do it. i just got done painting my hummer body camo. anyone know of some taller wheels that could be put on this truck for more ground clearance
