Gday guys

I took the plunge and my wife got me a venom creeper its what i wanted so i see a lot of people ask about them so i was going to do a build tread so people can see what its like and stuff this is my first crawler so i will be learning to.

i wanna get the green one, but whatevers the cheapest on ebay. i'll be getting the ezrun crawler combo from hongkong and most likely a eurgle radio and havent decided on the servo yet. i'm thinking of a white rockstar energy drink theme for the body. can't wait:D, im only $60 away from the kit, also what are the vcd pins?

They are the pins that connect the axels and the diff shafts to the unis.... I looked at the ez run combo but i just didnt like the thought of it i have a ezrun combo in my slash but for the crawler i wanted to do it good....

eg. The novak rooster esc is amazing it has a incridble drag brake along with 2 profiles one for lipo and one for nimh...

Other recomendtions is stage 2 suspention upgrade and the behind the axel steering kit i got it all from ckrc ( Our sponsors dont stock these parts as they are CKRC owened)

And get some rover tyres they are cheap....

The suspention kit droops the shocks and gives it a much better center of gravity...
And if your going to buy from there you ight as well get lipos to couple of little packs last forever my 1300mah lasts over a hour....

You can get a kit stage 2 suspention from ck for 140 plus 50 for the BTA convert to aus and postage could be cheap pm if yoy need some more advice

Mate save your money.... so u can get a good setup also put the motor in the gear box first not after lol and you might want to have a motor with a bit more speed like a 50 or 45 turn
