Thanks! This build is one of the most rewarding things I have ever undertaken!

Thanks! I used Crawler Innovations Double Deuce foam system. I can't remember the stiffness, but I ran softer up front.

Suspension is suspension and the same principals apply. However, you have to allow for differences in geometry between different trucks.

@@hewlejr I hear you my dude, I love messing with adjustable settings and will continue to do so, until I make it really good. And then I'll prolly keep on until I ruin it!!!!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁

@@wordreet , lol. The hardest part is knowing when to stop!

@@hewlejr Oh, never!

Thanks! The R1 is one of the most fun rigs to mod as it bridges the gap between scale and comp and offers enough of both to make for a uniquely fun experience! Many of my mods are covered in detail in my threads on the rc crawler forums (username: supermoturd).

joshua hewlett thank you I’ll check it out

www.classicutcustoms.com/classicutcustoms.html it is the bulldog transmission.

Man, this thing was hand built from scratch over the course of 2 years. All I can give you is the part list that is in the video description.

Ok, I will watch all the episodes)

@@hewlejr 👍👍

Thanks! It runs on a bulldog transmission and a holmes hobbies 400 puller. Both are buttery smooth!

@@hewlejr Sounds great - will definitely consider this combination for my build! Thanks!

I have an Axial transmission and Vanquish Products Hurtz dig system installed. The dig allows you to lock or disengage the rear drive using a third channel on your transmitter. Super fun to drive and tightens turning radius remarkably. It also lets you shift the rear into neutral as you start steep climbs so that the rear wheels don't bite and flip you over backwards.

You prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother for the last few months :)

@Sutton Kellan yea, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself :)

@Sutton Kellan Definitely, been using instaflixxer for years myself :D

Out of the box, it performs pretty poorly. It takes a bit of work to get it running well, but that's half the fun.

I run 3s and I can go for a couple of hours.

Lol. You nailed it!

So glad it was helpful!!!!

Those are HB Rover soft (white dot) tires. They don't make them anymore. :( Sometimes you can find them on ebay and other sites.

Thanks! It was definitely one of those days that leaves a smile on your face.

Modifications include: Hacked GT3B radio controller from OverkillRC, Axial Wraith transmission in Vanquish aluminum housing, Vanquish Hurtz Dig, custom underdrive, custom 45-degree steering, and HB Rovers (white dot).

@@hewlejr I heard that. 🤔👌🏻🔥😎🔥🤙🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Those are the stock GMade Wheels with HB Rover White-Dot tires.

It was tricky. I ordered the Delrin skid-plate and carefully drilled it out for the Wraith trans. A set of center-punches helps.

joshua hewlett how did you do the driveshafts and where did you get the wrath transmission

@@nolanhauge , I used the hardened steel Junfac drive shafts (5mm hole with 95-130mm travel) from rcrun.com. They are compact enough to provide clearance for the wraith spur gear cover. The transmission is the aluminum one from Vanquish Products. You'll need a Traxxas 58T 32P spur gear and a 6T 32P pinion to get the gear reduction where you want it. I have a tutorial on the RCCrawler forums that covers my overdrive mod for the R1.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Unstuck V2

These are the HB Rover white-dot tires. Great tires!

I custom fabbed a set of link extensions

I installed a Vanquish Products Hurtz Dig system. Freaking amazing upgrade. It's a shame they discontinued them.

Thanks! The R1 is such a great platform. I did stretch the back end by about 3/4 inch.

joshua hewlett, when u mention that you stretch 3/4 of an inch longer at the rear, do u need to change the stock drive shaft as well?

@@Stonely1974 I also own an r1, with the aluminum stealth chassis, you do need a longer drive shaft if you stretch the rear that much

@@OverlandSubaru do you mind telling me the length and brand of the extended and original drive shalft for the V2 stealth chassis? I am considering switching to stealth v2 chassis.

@@Stonely1974 brand I'm not sure, I went with "punisher" shafts but they broke (lost pins, forgot lock tite) then I went with a Chinese aluminum no name because I needed something quick. It's really about the lenth, the cheap one's I bought (wish app for android) have held up remarkably well. 50+ crawls and zero issues.

Thanks! It was A LOT of work, but totally worth it!

@@hewlejr what do you mean by a lot of work basically adjusting links shocks things like that. 🤙🏻🔥😎

Heavy modifications. I went with an Axial transmission and vanquish dig system. I also lengthened the rear links.

I have and it is definitely fun! Planning on building a nitro truggy for FPV at some point.

.... not that you needed any :)

Thanks! Wheel speed looks like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaOun3d6qbNksNU

Thanks!
