Thanks so much for watching!! 🙏

You are Welcome my Friend 🐻‍❄️🐼👍🏻

It’s absolutely worth it and way easier than I thought it would be. Much smoother throttle control. Thanks for watching!! 🙏👍

Thank you!! It’s still a work in progress

Thanks for suggesting it! Absolutely worth it 👍

Thanks ✌️

Thank you sir for watching and your continued support!! 👍🙏

@@NEO-RC 😃

I’ll try that thank you. Finding shock mounts that will work for this is proving pretty difficult but thank you. The desert lizards are by far the best shock I’ve tried so far

@NEO-RC I have my shocks set up with no springs installed at all. But im finding that the front end unloads quite a bit while climbing up steep inclines, so im going to try using the longest, medium strength spring underneath on the front shocks to hopefully prevent that from happening.

I noticed the shocks are rather poorly positioned but i put softer springs in mine and it made a crazy difference crawls 60° angle

Thank you for the little push to try it. I love that brushless system and definitely won’t be the last rig I put one of those in. I did strip the set screw somehow on the pinion gear but was able to retap and get it back in but have another one the way since their only $8.

@@NEO-RC Anytime man I'm glad you are enjoying it, I wouldn't be surprised if you started picking up more brushless motors now that you have experience with this build. Pinion set screws always need locktite but then they strip out when you try to remove them lol just the way it goes.

Quick tip: If you soak, or brush the motor pinion and it's set screw with a good cleaner. Let it dry. Then thread locking compound is not needed. You just gotta get the metal clean so it can sort of bind a little when tightening. Me personally...I use brake clean or isopropyl alcohol if I run out of brake clean. Oh and DON'T use the non-chlorinated brake clean (green can). It will leave a residue.

@@chrispearce9224 great information to know! Thank you sir 👍

Go for it! The Hw fusions are the best upgrade for any RTR. If you can, I recommend the fusion pro but SE 1800kv at half the price is great as well. Or if you want stay brushed the hw 1080 esc is also a good upgrade. Thanks so much for watching and dropping a comment! 👍

@@NEO-RC 😁 The hw1080 is what I'm using now, I need to try a different motor. I have big fat tires on it.

@@vinnieland6140 right on, then yeah definitely give the fusion a try👍

They do allow for a lot more suspension travel in the rear. The front is limited by the pan hard bar and front link length. Thanks for watching and the comment! 👍

@@NEO-RCAre you using the same mount location as the RCLions?

@@MrCveedub for the desert lizards, yes sir I am

The atlas was my first motor upgrade too. Not at all as hard as it may look. Just don’t couple the pinion gear (on the motor shaft) to the spur too tightly. Leave a little slack so the gears turn easily and don’t bind. I had take it back apart and loosen the spacing just a bit. Not that hard to do at all👍

Thank you! I’ve had the same issue with the axle knuckle pins walking out. I tapped them back in but they keep walking out. Not sure what can be done aside from getting all new axles. My Atlas has been on the shelf since those pins keep walking out and I have other projects so I haven’t really messed with it much.

Thank you sir, really appreciate that! It’s a solid piece of plastic so I’d have to be cut down and it would probably rub the tires. Not a lot of options for aftermarket bumpers on the atlas either or any that I’ve seen.

@@NEO-RC It's a great car man i love it

Yes sir it did. That and the steering arm are what’s limiting the front suspension travel with taller shocks. Try giving FMS a call or email, they may just send you one. Part for the atlas on FMS website are pretty cheap. You might be able to get a link set for around $20

Thanks you! The atlas is a good looking truck but it’s more of a trail truck than crawler and it’s good for those just getting into the hobby but I honestly wouldn’t recommend it for a long term use. I’ve had some issues with pins falling out of the axles. For the price it’s definitely not bad. I’ve ran it a lot and keep it greased but seems to be wearing out in less than a year. Just my experience with it. Thank you so much for watching!!

@@NEO-RC Thanks for the reply! That's very helpful. Is there another rig that you would recommend for a newb? I do like to tinker and don't mind swapping out parts. I see you have videos on the Ecto. I will go check those out!

@@MrBowser2012 yes, the RedCat ascent fusion. I have the regular ascent and put a fusion SE 1800kv brushless motor in it and now they offer the ascent with that fusion motor already in it and it’s a fantastic machine at a great price. Really hard to beat. They are easy to work on and I’ve ran the crap out of mine and it’s doing great. The other is the element Ecto. The Ecto is my favorite but needs a little work to get it where it needs to be where the ascent fusion is upgraded from the factory and ready to rock.

@@NEO-RC Thanks! I will definitely check out the RedCat. That Ecto of yours is sure a nice looking rig and seems to run well. Watching your videos make me want to get working on my course. nice job!

@@MrBowser2012 thanks so much! The Ecto is awesome. I put a fusion pro motor in it, upgraded the steering servo, high clearance links, wheels and tires and added brass hubs on the front axle and brass differential covers on the front and rear. It’s hands down my favorite with the ascent a close second. I kinda had to build a course because there’s no where very close to me to go crawling and having it in my backyard is super convenient. Does take some work but I’m glad I made it. Let me know how you do with your course. Love seeing others creativity with obstacles and such.

I did grease the axles but not the drive gears. Figured that would cause slipping at the highest torque point. I’m not 100% sure if i should or shouldn’t gears the drive gears.

@NEO-RC I did and have no slipping the only thing to worry about is the hubs stripping the rims

@@CHEESESLICER96 right on, put some grease in there. Thanks!
