Enjoy mate

​@VladTePez after you move the esc and remove the old esc location where to you place the lower links?

Haha talking head vids are the worst glad you appreciated the respite m8

Thx Craig, there should be previous vids where i talk through what I’ve done

Thx man, will bring it to face your creation at some point )

I mite possibly see you on sunday 😁👍

Any time you know that I like your video

Have you heard anything from Gerry

@@3dman875 haha true mate

@@3dman875 no Fred, he’s probably still creating his work empire )

awesome! glad you enjoyed the build and got inspired to do your own )

​@@Pezzapoowhat is the body you used on this rig?

thx mate, I kept the stock electrics sue to that choice, if you switch out the esc you will lose all the funky steering modes but on the downside I believe that its the stock ESC that struggles with power output to two motors under load, especially with heavier wheels etc. Even switching motors had little effect on the stalling. So your option will work but you will need probably two esc's, one for each motor and a good transmitter receiver combo that you can setup properly to give you the steering options.

@@Pezzapoo thanks for the input at this point I’m not sure which route go Go back to stock and just appreciate it for what it is or keep on with the upgrades lol Cheers and have a great night

I have videos explaining it all Josh but yes you just use the existing holes and its golden. )

thx mate, I will dig it out when I get chance and get back to you

@@Pezzapoo cheers buddy, much appreciated 👍🏼

The tubes are the same length as the standard ones but just curved at one end. Not sure on shocks, will have a look when I get it out of storage. I did one for a friend and just kept standard shocks with pen springs, it worked better.

where you found this body?

LOL nevermind, just got to that point.

was thinking of putting in some 35T 540 brushed in there with the Hobbywing quicrun 880, worth the while or not? Very new to the hobby and looking for some solid advice? Cheers great video and yeah if your selling those links sign me up !

Yes if you’re putting a new esc in but no if you are staying stock. Sry just seen :/

Hi mate, Its not in front of me now but Its got two 15 or 25mm wheel spacers one either side attached to the chassis and I just manually screw in the wheel nuts through two holes I drilled in the sides of the body

Hi, Found on fb marketplace. Cheap (storm) toy grade RC

thx its a 'tech rc truck' really cheap thing

Any one have a link??

Sry not sure what the body is called, it was a cheap fb purchase something like ‘storm’ the cars were great at funduro but recently I have a clicking noise from a diff but its a cheap fix. Imo you could get the best performance from keeping stock wheels/tyres and putting pen springs inside the standard shocks. Just do the tray chop mod and make some links. Tbe heavier wheels are a negative as the esc is weak on power.

@@Pezzapoo Tks a lot for your prompt reply have a nice Sunday

Its packed away now but imo using the standard shocks without the springs and using pen springs is cheapest and better.

Wasn’t me bud? Let me see if its held?

I can't see it anywhere sorry mate, was not me though thx

Do you mean it folds in too tight sam? Are your shocks in similar places too?

@@Pezzapoo Yea that’s right, and then it doesn’t return. I have just rewatched and heard the bit about the springs returning the truck to droop instead of full extend, so I’m going to try that! My shocks are in the same place as yours. You were my inspiration as I love my traxxas but I really wanted a capable council build!

@@sambeach9169 haha Council builds ftw. Ok so I got these shocks from Injora.com but I put the pen springs on the opposite side of the piston head than they come to be in full droop. Should certainly help

@@Pezzapoo Haha absolutely! Need to make some council build stickers! I have the same shocks, that’s why I was head scratching. But this evening I have done the spring mod as you’ve just described and it has transformed the truck. I’m well chuffed. Thanks for your continued help and vids!

@@sambeach9169 awesome! Glad it worked and yes! Council build stickers next )

Ravine is sold in UK, Ridgerock in USA, both same cheap cars, the Axial capra is a high end equivalent that I'm comparing this to for a fraction of the price

@@Pezzapoo is the ridgerock & capra close enough that any of the parts are interchangeable? Like the suspension four link bars and steering control bars etc? I've already replaced the stock ones with stainless steel straws, and threaded rod for the steering. I also put the 25kg servos in it, a 5200 battery, and 2.2 x 5.75 hyrax predator tires. With all that and the additional 8 oz of suspended weight on the very bottom center beside the stock ESC, and 6 ounces that are currently in the front tires but will soon be moved the axle, it already performs a whole world better than it did stock. I also made some custom risers for the suspension mounts so I could lower the center of gravity while keeping most of the articulation. But the major flaw I have now is the motors are just too weak, and the rear wants to stall out.

No its just modded. Pls check my previous vids

I will I tried finding to see how you did it. But I will check again. Also do you remember where you got that body? I like that a lot

Its a cheap rtr car i found on facebook. Storm or something?

Its from a cheap RC car i found on marketplace, don’t recall the name sadly

No i upgraded motors but its pointless with standard electrics

cheap £20 facebook find it says storm on it?

These aren’t the stock wheels and tyres?
