I love my RidgeRock! I upgraded my servos, removed tire foam, used 1.9 beadlocks and new tires. Added wheel weights to all four tires. Also added black wheel weights to both diffs. Changed out lower arms to high clearance aluminum arms. The rig is unstoppable. One of my favorite vehicles. So impressive. Great video! Keep up the great work.

First of all man, LOVE your videos! Your video you did on calibrating Hobbywing on your drift car helped me tremendously on getting mine going! Quick question... just got my Ridgerock dropped off and had a question on how low the ESC sits. I saw another video where they removed it and relocated it inside... what do you think are the Pros/Cons on this mod? Thank you🙂
@RoadsideRCКүн бұрын
Hi there! Glad to hear the videos have been helpful! Basically - any time you can move weight forward and down, that is the right move. You want the rear to be very light, and all of the weight to be as low and forward as possible.

@RoadsideRC Жыл бұрын
Even with this, I am still not 100% satisfied with the weight distribution. I really want to remove more rear weight and get more in the front. Perhaps that is one of the drawbacks of MOA when it adds a lump of metal at the rear!

I am relatively new to this channel, and I got one of these last month. I don't have a 3d printer for that battery tray mod, and I don't exactly know how to change from a factory battery set up to the same or similar battery set up you have done on this one. Do you still use the same receiver that it came with? I have changed the receiver and esc on my brushless Typhon and Senton, but I am new to the crawler scene, and just don't feel comfortable yet with the delicateness of it all. Any insight is appreciated. Awesome mods btw, and explaining everything, it's very helpful.

Thanks for joining! Yes - I kept the factory electronics in order to maintain the 4WS, etc. To run a lipo, all you need is the battery itself. The factory battery is a Li-ion, so going to a Lipo - the ESC is fine.

@KingMrBigE Жыл бұрын
Ok couple of things... first off, moving the shock mounting points to the farthest back and up helps alot. No keys needed. Second, use some high clearance links that are a few mm longer than the stock plastic ones which will not only increase the shock angles but will also decrease the height. Lowered it considerably with just these mods alone. You are way overthinking it. Oh and just attach the weights to the tops of the servos, 4 of them fit perfectly.
@RoadsideRC Жыл бұрын
I know the E10 links fit, but my understanding is they are the same length. Which links did you use? I prefer my weight to be as low as possible, hence them going low. Plus, they are hidden, so don't look ugly.
@KingMrBigE Жыл бұрын
@@RoadsideRC I used the E-10 links. You will have to run your wires up the center y links. Because of the bends it makes it sit lower and flatter.

For the part that you pointed out where it previously fell but in your current run after mods it didn't... do you think it was due to the lowering of the Ridgerock or the weights that were added? I guess what I'm asking is was one mod more the factor than the other for it not falling? Great video.

How many RC, 1/10 scale trucks come with all the weight of a motor and a servo built onto each axle ? That's a LOT of weight you would otherwise have a hard time getting on there, besides zip tying an old motor & servo onto each axle for weight. And you think you still need more, lol !!!
