ok so the only advantage to being on the road all day long is being able to stop at some of the local hobby shops when im in other cities. makes it to where i can keep my stuff running and pay less and not have the hassle of my local hobby shop.

so my goal tonight was to get the mini rock crawler running, and tomorrow night get the mgt.
so up first had to replace the shock, then the stock servo seemed kinda crap, or the guy that had this before just abused it. lol could be either. and then of course i had to find some way to control this.

so for the shocks i went back with the stock ones, cheap easy, blah blah blah. then the control part. i found my spare sc10 receiver that i had picked up a while back, and installed that with some double sided sticky, ran some antenna tubes and shrink taped a lot of it in place. lol. and then zip ties became my best friend. ha

and then the servo. well id been reading get the mg645. and i asked the hobby shop about it and they confirmed, yes itll work, double sided sticky tape and good to go. since its a 1/10 scale servo. well the double sided sticky tape didnt hold it on its own, so after some tape again i zip tied it. seems to be holding up until i can get an adjustable setpoint remote....
this servo has 7.7kg a cm. so it has no problem turning the wheels.

so heres some pics. enjoy
