ECX Temper - Slab Run

The snow is finally gone and spring is just around the corner. Temps are above 32 degrees...it's time to get out to our "go to" spot and have a run. Good run with the Temper!
Upgrades to the Temper over the last year...
19 mm wheel wideners
aluminum knuckles/c-hubs
Mickey Thompson Baja Claw tires (1.9's)
Axial 8-hole beadlock wheels
Upgraded waterproof Hobbico ESC
Spectrum receiver
Weighted front wheels
changed oil in shocks (30 weight)
use 1/2 inch shock spacers (electrical tape cut to size) to combat torque twist
few minor body mods
added some additional lead weight down low for stability
battery forward mod
moved new ESC lower on the mounting plate
Hope you enjoy the vid!

[@RcNickster709]

btw. music was a great choice too ☺

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks! This rig takes on any challenge you throw at it!

[@rcjan5690]

So that is a "real" crawler i guess..very nice, and beautiful landscape..

[@2krcbackroads421]

Yeah, this is more of a traditional or purpose built crawler. It's a little different than a "Scaler" that can crawl. Thanks for having a look!

[@poppysrcandmodels]

Great crawling! That rig is awesome!😉👍

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks Jeff! It is a great rig...I know you know how good it is!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks Jeff! Really is a great little rig...I know you know!

[@rcdabbler]

So, you did get out! True to your word! 😀 That looks like a place I'll need to visit, once I get my Everest 10 crawler upgraded.

[@2krcbackroads421]

Yes, yes I did...ha ha Let me know when you're ready...I'll meet you out there.

[@rcdabbler]

2KRCBACKROADS Sounds like a plan! Now I just need to be true to my word and get some RC work done. 😝

[@2krcbackroads421]

The pressure is on...ha ha. Like you said, tough for us family guys sometimes....

[@TAZXB]

Very kewl... I'm waiting on 2 Tempers to arrive, in a day or so... One for me and one for my girlfriend... I've watched, I think all of your videos on them, and I'll be making the 'mod' ' to them after we run them a few time'z... Keep up da awesome work...

[@2krcbackroads421]

Hey thanks Man....and congrats to you! Great entry level crawler...with a few mods, it's a very capable rig! Thanks for tunin' in!

[@TSully2013]

super vidéo super prises de vues , magnifique paysage véhicule cool 👍👍👍👍👍🔝

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks so much...and thanks for the comment!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

CRAZY cool looking Rig!! SERIOUS articulation too. I just found out - that's only 1/18th Scale?? 😲 That's quite a little Beast! I didn't realize I hadn't subbed you yet. Fixed that! ~ Carmine

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks Carmine, really appreciate that! It's a 1/18 scale out of the box, but I installed 19 mm wheel wideners which push the wheels out making it as wide as a 1/10 scale rig. Thanks for havin' a look and for the sub!!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Now THERE'S an idea I never would have thought of!!! AWESOME! Push the wheels out, bigger tires, and maybe a CJ, Samurai or other 1/10th Scale mini body, and I'll have a much less expensive Crawler Rig!! Thank you so much for that. Don't those have tiny motors, like a 380 or even 280?? ~ Carmine

[@2krcbackroads421]

Yeah, they run on a tiny ~370 size motor...TONS of torque. CJ body would be very cool!!

[@RCTeamAustria]

nice run

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks, appreciate it!!

[@davidrcstudio2452]

nice video!

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks!

[@JCRC]

I see you have the wheel wideners on it - help much? thanks for sharing :)

[@2krcbackroads421]

Thanks Joe! I use 19mm wheel wideners on this rig. I upgraded the knuckles and C-hubs as well....

[@JCRC]

2KRCBACKROADS Nice and strong then :)

[@2krcbackroads421]

Joe Conti RC Yeah. Sorry, I misread your question...ha ha. I thought you said "how much". Yes, the wideners do help. The wheel wideners and tires were the best upgrades on this rig. The wideners made the rig more stable...

[@JCRC]

2KRCBACKROADS I love a sable truck :) Who doesn't? lol - but yes yu can tell the difference in performance instantly :)

[@michaelcurtiswood]

Where did you find your ESC? And does it have a voltage cut-off for LiPo batteries? Are you still running the stock batt?

[@2krcbackroads421]

It's a Hobbico ESC...cheap ($19). Not sure on a LiPo cut-off as I run NiMH in all my rigs. I'll check and let you know...

[@denyboy15]

where is the spot? im from everett washington.

[@2krcbackroads421]

Right on!! I filmed this in Snoqualmie...right around Snoqualmie Falls.

[@tylynblaylock]

list of mods?

[@2krcbackroads421]

- 19 mm wheel wideners - aluminum knuckles/c-hubs - Mickey Thompson Baja Claw tires (1.9's) - Axial 8-hole beadlock wheels - Upgraded waterproof Hobbico ESC - Spectrum receiver - Weighted front wheels - changed oil in shocks (30 weight) - use 1/2 inch shock spacers (electrical tape cut to size) to combat torque twist - few minor body mods - added some additional lead weight down low for stability Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
