Great video. You meantioned about using a screwdriver on the hot glue. Next time try some rubbing alcohol on a Q-Tip. Soak the hotglue and let it sit for about 2 or 3 min and it will peel right off.

That’s a really good mod that I need for my bandit vxl to keep those front tires down when I do speed runs ! 👍

It might not be the best for speed. You’d have to be pretty precise with placement or the tires could be out of balance. Worth a try though.

Nice one! I've used sticky wheel balancing weights inside the tires before. ( I asked for some at my local tire repair shop to begin with, but they aren't too expensive on the internet. But I've gone over to using plumber's solder wire. Cut 4 lengths of solder all the same,. remove the tire, put some double sided tape around the wheel "well" (the centre part of the rim where the tire doesn't touch) , not hot glue as it will cool off before you've finished, wrap the solder wire around the sticky wheel "well". I then wrapped electrical tape around the solder wire to keep it in place. Tires back on and you're good to go.

Awesome idea! Sounds like it’d add a good amount of weight 👍

What is a good set up on the spur gear n the pinion gear for the ascender. I'm going to run a crawlmaster 550 12 turn or 15 turn...not really worried about real fast wheel speed but want to really get good torque n slow crawling...Thanks
