Hauling my crawlers back to Black Betty the Ratillac

With the Hobby Plus cr18p Terranaut

Also pictured axialscx24 brushless Deadbolt, axialscx24 brushless Basecamp build, and Injora trx4m fat viper bug build.

I was lucky to find a figure and dog, mirrors my old ass and my sweet boy in heaven. Did a little weathering on it and added a dent or two. Tried to replicate some tears in the seat as well. Just fun to drive and customize.

I’m just curious if anyone has any suggestions on places to go rc crawling in northern wi, mi area?

River sides, creeks, tails etc. sick of crawling on my homemade course and ran out of places near my house.

I switched to Shock Oil #100 to reduce the damping and get a nice, slow, progressive body roll.

what upgrade should I do first

videos will be in comments if they will post

A rocky trail, a loaded roof rack, and nowhere to turn back.
Took the RockVan out for another adventure, and this terrain felt like the perfect place for it. The blue-and-orange body stands out against the dusty rocks, while the roof cargo, red netting, and lights give it that proper expedition-ready look.
I love how a little scale truck can turn an ordinary rocky hillside into an entire adventure. Every climb becomes a challenge, every angle tells a different story, and there’s always another trail waiting to be explored.
No easy routes. No shortcuts. Just one more climb.

Tiny truck. Big journey.

Injora body, +3mm planet axles, brass links, 26mm shocks

Treal wheels and tires

Did a test run in my front yard and I'm very happy with it. The extra weight helps it feel planted and the body looks so good. The Treal tires are also pretty good but when I hit some really soft stuff they did struggle.

Would would adding slightly longer shocks do for my build? Pretty sure one of mine are leaking so a replacement will be needed regardless, just looking at some options

Hi, I love all the content here, I'm new to the crawler game. And advice on what to buy?

Maybe I'm framing the question incorrectly based on my limited understanding of the context, but I'm trying to control a relay based on the temperature of a sensor to control a 35mm cooling fan. I purchased one of these AIO relays online but it's quite bulky, so I'm curious about the most compact solution people have come up with, whether an AIO solution or a sensor/controller/relay combo solution.

Hey! I was driving my C8823 in some tall grass that had some dew on it and lost steering. I’m pretty sure however that the steering failed while I was moving from asphalt to grass. I see this damage on the servo saver but am not sure if it’s a QC issue? I’m new to fixing issues like this and would appreciate any input on whether anything looks wrong in the picture or what steps I could take to figure out what’s causing the issue without unnecessarily spending!

Edit: the indicators for the light still turn on and throttle still works so the transmitter seems to be fine

Got my first real crawler/trail truck. Element Trailwalker. Just finished it up mostly, still waiting on a set of side mirrors since they were missing from the truck out if the box. Hand painted all the black plastics to look a bit more like aged metal. Did the front bumper, sliders, and bed cage. Darkened up the grill a bit. Weathered the body with the traditional sanding but added some additional rust holes using a small drill bit and gave it a bit more dimension by adding some metallic copper, silver, and brown paint streaks.

After a few drives I upgraded the stock electronics to a Fusion SE and Injora 35kg servo. Stock tires on some extra heavy cheap Amazon wheels.

Really happy with how's it's turning out so far.

A classic Ford, a rocky trail, and nowhere in particular to be.
Sometimes all you need is a good truck and a stretch of rough terrain. 🛻
