Im looking at getting my first crawler. Not sure if I want to go balls deep into crawlers so I just wanted a budget one I can tinker with as parts break. Out of the two which would you get?

Cogging? Why?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve never experienced this with any of my many crawlers, so I’m going to assume that this is what “cogging” is.

Can anyone explain to me why it does this, and how to fix it? The motor and esc are both brand new, the “micro sense Komodo” motor, and “micropython-sense” esc (first time using furitek) purchased direct from furitek, the rig it self is a brand new build, and I’ve taken it out once for about an hour, didn’t really notice too much of it on the rocks, a little, but I didn’t think anything of it until tonight testing out the new tires it was really bad.

I’ve greased all the gears in the trans, diff and portals, there doesn’t seem to be any resistance whatsoever through the drive line. So I don’t know if I just got a lemon, is that just how they are, or if I haven’t tuned it correctly.. any help would be appreciated

RockVan V2 Mystery Machine

I absolutely love my RockVan V2. I got it to make a Mystery Machine and couldn't be happier that this is where I'm starting my RC journey. This was my first time painting polycarbonate and I did this without any decals. To get the words and details I used a Silhouette cutting machine (like a Cricut) to cut into the painters tape and then sprayed painted it.

On the Trail RGT Bronco. Slow, capable, and always camera-ready.

Took the RGT Bronco out for a slow trail run and ended up spending more time behind the camera than the transmitter. I love how realistic this truck looks from a low angle—sometimes it doesn’t even feel like an RC. Definitely one of my favorite models to photograph.

Up and running… He’s complete. Threw in a HW 1200 Fusion. So he’ll crawl slow. Not bad for 90% spare parts.
