Low CG Belly dragger with G-Speed V3 and SCX10 ii axles - ultimate rc crawler

[@douglasparnell3224]

That rig is amazing. I tell everyone if they are into rc or thinking of getting into rc to check out rc review for the best info and content. It’s been fun watching over the last two years and seeing the channel grow. Thanks Francis

[@JESTER_Garage]

Seeing these makes me want to build my own

[@jasonrobson676]

More vids of these please, supper interesting rigs!

[@lowandslowcrawlers]

Looks like a class 2 or 3 rig from So Cal. All comp trucks down here use the game changer/brazen/toyzuki/ chassis and custom bumper set up and call it class 2 or 3

[@fernsolo]

curious why are his HC links bent at the opposite end of every aftermarket HC link? His are bent at the wheels, which appears to be installed wrong?

[@HBFTimmahh]

Im assemblying a set of the SSD Diamods with metal tubes f&r, alum Chubs and SSD brass knuckles for a LCG Belly dragger. Lots like the Gspeed. there are a few decent options, but may seem to be based around capra portals. Not sure I want to do the SSD Protals, not that I'v adverse to it. but it would be 250 out the door for the portal kit and metal tubes for the portal (unless the stock metal tubes work which they might then its only the kit at 190.). thinking of using the SSD Scale tranny and new od transfer case to add 20% to the front. have the OD gears in the diffs, (both) and can drop the stock gears in the rear and go up to about 32% OD up front. Or put the stock gears up front and drop to about 12% OD up front. OR get the VP underdrive and go to a 5% up front od, or a 43% if put in the rear axle. Loots of good options but its all gear based." Portal gears can be swapped for od or ud as well. Which is good thinking on SSDs part. Rig looks like it does really well.

[@sprather84]

Fran you should do a build on your sport and change it to a belly dragger for us all that's what I would like to do to mine I need some inspiration ive got my eye on the brazin ATL

[@baxrok2.]

Another sweet build! Just a tad too light for me. They don't move the same when they are that light and I like to see at least a little bit of tire deformation.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Fair enough!

[@bigpar5]

Can you please tell me what size of OTTSIX drive shafts were used on the build? I’m currently converting a Axial 10.2 to G SPEED chassis.

[@kevingoodrich3050]

With that trans set up can he run a dig unit ?? My wroncho with AR 60's and a servo winch is about 6 lbs.

[@RCReviewChannel]

I do not think so. Links to this transmission is in the description now. There's a version with overdrive and one without.

[@treavonbrooks78tb]

Can u do one with the negative g chassis

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Those are Über capable!!! I'd build one - if I could.... I do like heavier Rigs, because they behave more like real Trucks, limitations and all. But for the do anything, shock factor, these can't be beat! I do like that those Motors aren't as noisy as Revolvers. Stay SAFE Bro! 😷 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@GeezerGramps]

Was those rocks & area made for crawling or just part of the landscape?

[@RCReviewChannel]

It was a waterfall feature gone awry. Shortly after they built it ( about 200 yards long) they realized how much water it consumed. And that we live in the California desert. So they shut off the water. Probably decades ago.

[@mauriceprudhomme5296]

Lol thanks! I always wondered too. I would be there lots.

Hi.I would really like to build a lcg chassis kit. but i am a noob. don't know what is going where

[@Firewlkre]

How wide are the frame spacers and is there much flex in the frame?

[@GSPEEDCHASSIS]

Recommended frame spacer length is 67mm or 70mm.

[@Boss-dr2zk]

@@GSPEEDCHASSIS Why do they go for a that wide chassis? Is there any remarkable performance difference to narrower chassis?

[@GSPEEDCHASSIS]

Squeezing the chassis rails in, to meet the narrow spacers creates a more rigid frame. Also the narrower spacers creates more room outside of the rails for the shocks.

[@GSPEEDCHASSIS]

@@Boss-dr2zk 👍

[@stanlow443]

What body style is it, look like Powerwagon?

[@michaellenheiser3157]

Francis,. Look into UGRC Lab Predator Chassis for the Gen8. It is a belly dragger comp style chassis that is a game changer for the Gen 8 platform. I would like to see you do a build on this. Kind regards

[@pabotlg209]

[@dominiqueleblanc2193]

Nice rig but sometimes I think lighter is not always better. Low cg is great, don't get me wrong. I would but on some heavier wheels.

[@seanmcpherson7962]

Why? Why not add more dense weight around axke or st hubs(,center of wheel and somewhere low and centered in a sphere on the chassis? And i m3anndense as in tungsten. Not brass. Less rotational inertia to deal with and better more practice location of COM..

What pinion goes well with the yellowjacket motor? I have the 1500kv and the pinion noise is louder than the motor itself.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Not sure. We did check the pinion mesh and it is dialed. The motor is only loud during startup.

[@KTMcaptain]

How can the sidewinder possibly be smoother than the micro x? The esc only controls the voltage and the motor pulls current based off the demands at given voltage levels. This is why your servo test the current rating went up with the voltage used. The sidewinder would have to have higher throttle resolution in order to possibly be smoother. On my mamba monster x the esc resolution allows me to give increments of 0.016v using a single throttle curve point at 50% throttle = 20% power. My puller pro standard 2700kv needs to hit 0.066v to even rotate... which unloaded would equate to 178rpm. With load it will have an even lower rpm. This is called confirmation bias. Someone hears a rumor, that rumor creates bias, and when the individual sees any difference between the two observed samples they attribute that difference to the rumor. Strait from castle, the esc cannot control the amount of current drawn by the motor, which is why you need really good batteries for high power motors because motors like my puller pro r 4100kv, which draws 160amps in my trx6, will suck the life out of lower quality batteries. And when that happens it puts a lot of stress on the esc and can fry it...

[@RCReviewChannel]

This is just for an out-runner motor which is sensorless.

[@bugman72]

I have run both the Sidewinder Micro 2 and the Mamba Micro X and have replaced all of my Sidewinders with Micro Xs. The Micro X is a much smoother ESC than the Micro 2. I've used both on brushed and brushless motors and the Micro X has much better throttle resolution.

[@briankenny6822]

I have almost the same rig but I have the micro x

[@fardadf4859]

Looks too light. Maybe sum weight to the hub and axels work.

Brian Moreno what is it copying if I may ask?

John Hickey their v1 was a copy of the bpc chassis. Since then he has had someone design his chassis now. They’re nice. But im a Toyzuki guy.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Might be a bit of a stretch there. And a low blow.

[@GSPEEDCHASSIS]

That is false information! When the first GSPEED Chassis was designed and I was accused of copying BPC, both BPC chassis and the V1 GSPEED, on Facebook to the public, both were placed on a Hobbico cutting mat showing measurements, proving that the rails were different. It's very unfortunate that false rumors like this are carried on by hearsay.

[@poolguru1]

GSPEED Chassis well I got a v3 on the way so no matter. Between Francis and Bill Deras recommendations for your chassis,that was enough for me. Just need to figure out what transmission I need.🤔
