Here is my latest project. Its my crawler, my baby, my king. This thing has it all, except offroad upgrade:( It has locked diffs all around, Propulse servo, custom tires, bearings, awd, articulation mod, custom lift (bryce is the creator of the custom lift, not me), and other random stuff i guess. Need suggestions for paint, I did the fender guard things and side skirts flat black, hood is gloss black, and so is the bed. I might paint it, its gotta be a unique color and cant be wasted because this is my last mint F-150 that isnt a painted or something. (sideskirts and bk is from other f150's so the stock pieces and bodies are still blue. Well here are the pics.

i know, custom lift is better than stock though. But im going crazy because i cant find my swampers!!! and the tires suck, they are almost like plastic.

It doesn't look very custom, just looks like a flipped front Titan Clip to me. Nice crawling BTW. Which servo is better, the ProPulse, or the HS-55?

No the actual chassis is lifted, look between the shocktower and knuckles. There is heatshrink that holds it up and keeps lifted. And i have no idea which servo is better. They are about the same i guess. I've only used this one. Bryce uses the mini-t servo. If you are thinking of using your propulse one, make sure you know what your doing. There is alot of times where you can mess up. Here is some more pics, I took my deepdish slammed rims, and moddified some lego tire to fit and so it has more ground clearence now, and it has a wider stance.

:lol:

You and your deepdish rims again... Looks okay, body is a bit high for me. Exactly how fast does these servo motors go? I know their not fast, but I've been wondering this for ages now...

BLT is the HS 55 slower or faster? or about the same? I might buy a HS-55 and put it in another truck chassis.

I'd say the hs-55 is a little slowler but has more torque.

The HS-55 is the like the most well known servo for xmods right? I want one but since I have a roller propulse why not use something I already have? I think it has plenty of torque, but if I get a Hs55 i will make a comparrison video.

Hehe, I remember when you told me that. When I fix mine, my friend told me today that he's gonna buy it for $100 with battery, then it'll be his problem. My LHS has a large variety of Servo's so I have plenty to choose from. If I don't feel like fixing up my Pro-Pulse, I may just keep it and salvage it for parts, or tear out the electronics and any other part that is acting weird, than make it into a RC18T with the electrics, motor, and esc. That'll make it better.

The gear on the servo looks like its crooked...
You may want to check that before it screws something up.

if the gear didnt keep coming off the main gear it would have made it up all the way in the second vid.

no the screw got screw in too far and know when I try to unscrew it, it keeps turning and wont come out. So I just superglued it on.

How to remove Superglue:
1. Cover the servo in a plastic bag.
2. Zip tie or rubber band the bag to the servo without the gear.
3. Place the waterproofed servo into water(make sure it is perfectly[or almost perfectly] waterproof.)
4. Wait 10-50 minutes depending on how much glue you used.
5. Remove the servo from the water and try to get the gear off.
