strawb you do realise that this is temporary and that in a few weeks time you will have a crawler in the shopping cart and your cursor hovering over that checkout button again.....hehehehe

another mini to add to the mayhem!

you had a deal with bandit's mini? whoo's gonna bring it here?

@paul ..... i know i know .... its still in the cart actually .... im planning on checking out the LCC first and the electronics to follow .... this is becoming really bad now .....

@chardiboi ...... he'll be coming back by march .... but he'll be sending t via courier to his wifey who's here in alain .... hopefully ..... soon soon .... before the next alain track day ..... i wanna join the bashing fun

sorry for OT. . . .

what good gear grease is available out here. . . . i planning to rebuild by axles. . . .

I am not sure what a worm gear would need, but assuming that there is a LOT of friction and a LOT of wearing surfaces, I would definately consider Tamiya AW grease.

is there any all purpose grease available? one thats for high friction?

can i use the one for cars?

Yeah, you could use a car/marine based grease...I am not sure which would be best for this application but I would be tempted to go for car wheel bearing grease...it is VERY thick and 'stringy' so it wont get flung off the gears....make sure your gearboxes/axles are sealed well when re-installing.....any sand in there will turn to grinding paste :-)

I think the worm gear axles need regular maintenance so you should be ok with that...

richard,

you may find automotive grease is too thick and not sticky enough and will work its way out of the axles quickly...Tamiya AW grease is probably a good solution....ball diff grease may work well as it is quite sticky and shouldnt work its way out of the axles...

thanks guys. . . . gonna rebuikd it, then drill a tiny hole on axle and a screw cover maybe, so later on if want to add grease i won't have to open it often. . . just inject some grease into the hole

cheers

So decided it was time to do some tweaking on the ye old LCC, so i can join strawb a wee crawl session

finally installed the DMG ALT tuber, and busy re-postioned electronics to get a lower COG.

here some progress pics

great job paul. . .. . .

weather is getting pretty nice now. . . .

time for some crawling

papa chard any news on my up coming crawler...... lets rock and crawl....

nice!


so lets get em carbon fiber panels all scratched up on the rocks then mate??!!!!

...

is there a possibility you can have the rx inside the chassis? probably on top of your dig servo? ..... much safer there ...

hey strawb

plan is to try and get the rx inside , there is space in there now as i have gotten rid of a lot of excess wiring.

dont want to do it on the dig servo cause i'm trying to keep the COG low, so will probably mount over the motor or directly behind the battery...i have some ideas just need to test the wire routing....

was aslo considering moving the dig servo to were the original radio tray with new mounting plate (rcbros has nice one) and then putting the esc and rx in the chassis too...

the CF is only a sticker....so we can scratch it up proper! hahaha

time to get this finished so we can craaaaaaaaaaaaawl!

great ideas .... just get er finished so we can get this badboy all scratched up!!!
