update:

i finally found myself some lead weights from a local balancing shop here in alain ....

i put 160grams on each front rim and 60grams on each for the rear before installing the white dot rovers ....

i reconfigured the wiring for the esc and the motor ...... shortened the wires and relocated the goat esc to the rear of the rig ....

installed a JR DS8411 ultra torque digital servo .......

i fabricated myself a front mounted battery tray .... space is fitted to receive a 11.1V 3s lipo ..... found myself velcros to hold the batteries as well ...

some pics .....

the R1 had its maiden crawl session last night in an open area where i saw rocks piled up ......

RC Crawling is a different rush ...... highly addicting i may add ......

the Goat 3s esc performed to its reputation .... fantastic drag brake ..... the 18.5 Ballistic had torque and it complimented very well with the JR DS8411 ultra torque servo ......

the HB rovers are just amazingly sticky and soft just enough to catch traction .....

i had a blast driving it ........ anyone up for crawling sessions in hatta?

i'll join you for a crawl in hatta once it cools down a bit twisted evil

ps the rig looks great man!
