Crawler Canyon ICFTLS: TAPAS-- Building a Ghost Ride

[@jord001]

Outstanding performance, Mr Spain will be stoked. Cant beat building/assembling them yourself

[@billtruett8593]

As you said meus did the heavy lifting… But I think you’ve hit a pretty good stride on what’s a good and capable rig at a very reasonable price. Every rig keeps getting better and better… Hugo’s going to enjoy this very much ! Great work.

[@tonygregg6957]

It's a great combo/curation, the whole chassis, axle and 313 link kit is £205 (about $250) at the minute. It's mind blowing when I think how much I put into my first g-speed. Why buy another radio, vanquish RTR would be fitting and I'm sure Spain might have a preference anyway. My 2.2 build is getting one just so I can let someone else drive it with me and they are pretty decent.

Bring on the mustard, brown, and pink! 😉

[@SamStevens-vo9xx]

Home from the woods , now to catch up with the canyon 👍🏻

[@KingKong-bo7nk]

mr canyon I’ve been using little o rings on the body posts to keep the spacers from falling off when the thumb screws are off. And bonus the give a little spring pressure to the thumb screws so they don’t vibrate and come loose

[@Bonitacreekrcs]

Double bend the rear links! And paint it metallic gold with silver backing coat.

[@neildaniels5443]

Wagwan Canyoneros 👊

[@FaithSaraG]

Brass rings up front will definitely make it better.

[@Bonitacreekrcs]

Brass!Brass!Brass!

Great job thanks for the content

[@RichardKendrick-c9z]

I vote for a free pass to stage 3 , before it goes to Europe. ⚡️🤙⚡️

This is the build I’ve been waiting for. The creep body works well 👌

TAPASSSSSSS. such a fitting name for Hugo 😎😎😎😎

[@HVT03]

Its amazing that im going to get such a good rig!!! Seing it on Deadline and Greenline would be really cool, as we have seen/will see everyone in the fleet running there, we can compare Tapas pretty well with the rest of the fleet I have Trenchers, Hyrax, Fusks, Champs, fake Approaches, and Cougars (which will be going in a future build). I will try all of them in Tapas. Probably will end up leaving the Canyon Trails, cause you know, the Canyon essence (and because they were doing the thing!). But I want to try all the tires I have in the rig thats going to be my best performer Idk how to feel about the S8E's, im too perfectionist to leave them on, knowing that they like to leak... Might end up swapping them for Chavs soon-ish. I still have the shock rebuild packs you sent me for Chavs. I have a set of red Chavs for a parts built pre-runner crawler (like Ruby), and if Tapas gets another set of Chavs, there will go all my rebuild packs I'd say dont cut the fenders completely. A bit of pirate ship noises are part of the Canyon, arent they? Dont worry about the radio, I have an RC6GS from Ali, if anything, you can send Tapas with a radiolink receiver and thats it (please, dont send it with a battery. PLEASE. I dont even have other Lipos, nor a charger) Of course im thankful with every single Canyonero for making this possible. If I have to pay anything to cover shipping, tell me

[@Bonitacreekrcs]

Mr.C,did you 3d print those vr knobs?

[@Bonitacreekrcs]

330mm wheelbase!

[@neildaniels5443]

Its a Meish or Vanqus 😊

[@rolandwittwer5026]

Mr.C that rig has to leave the canyon with your signature in it!

[@JamesPrill-hz1oj]

Evening everyone

[@Bonitacreekrcs]

Howdy👊

[@Sal-tripin]

very very nice 🤌🛻

[@AnySumptionBanter]

Discussing price vs kits and rtr. Will the lay driver actually be able to see and feel the diff?

[@CrawlerCanyon]

I would think that the electronics would be the biggest, most immediate difference. Pretty much all RTR gear outside of Traxxas is pretty bad. A Fusion SE is tough competition.

[@Bonitacreekrcs]

$500 is more than I want to spend on one vehicle again. I think I’ve dumped more than $300 in my ascent and I don’t know how capable it is compared to something competent.

[@CrawlerCanyon]

Probably best not to think about it. Especially when this one, built as it is, is less than $500.

[@Bonitacreekrcs]

@ 😢 it does have that soa mount so it is 4link front🤷‍♂️ but it does still have the gen9 axles and I put a gold dig box in it,but it shifts like crap. I’ve just kinda written 1/10 scale off and have been doing minis. I did a from scratch scx24 ultra4 buggy build. I 3d printed the cage so all in it was like $240. It’s got a outrunner (not a 030 brushed motor😂)and some meus isokinetic axles (52° steering angle!). So it’s got some nice parts.

[@Bonitacreekrcs]

Howdy👊

[@KingKong-bo7nk]

It’s supposed to be 21% in the trans. What length shocks are you using? I’ve been running 85mm chavs on my gold rush with meus capras / Amazon CF wheels to narrow it. But I’m getting only about 3.8” of flex

[@CrawlerCanyon]

Those are S8Es off of a VRD Carbon, so 90-ish. On MEUS nylons, so width is just about right.

[@Team_ReVolt]

Is mister Spain in da house?

[@jord001]

He's bound to have watched, he should be extremely happy.

[@HVT03]

I just started watching 😁

[@JPWirt]

I missed it, what did the wheelbase end up?

[@CrawlerCanyon]

330

[@JPWirt]

@CrawlerCanyon oooo, time for a shot! LOL

[@CrawlerCanyon]

@@JPWirt oh, what I meant to say was 330MM WHEELBASE

[@JPWirt]

@@CrawlerCanyon if I had actually been playing the game, I'd be walkin wobbly by now. Side note, I just lost The Game.

[@jimbocreationsbu8203]

$500 rc - should paint it red - and a bit yellow for the Spanish flag colors -OR no yellow cause of the wheels color

[@jord001]

agreed but havent a clue as to if theres a design or not
