hsp crawler thread

[creepy crawla]

well i'm sorry if i offended anyone, all i was trying to do was get my point across that he was thinking of the wrong crawler. the lock isn't needed as i've posted enough in this thread and it was obiously a mistake in creating this thread but i will finish this by saying that i have mentioned that it is a 1/10 and have posted pictures, all of this only happened because he didn't belive me about my crawler and anyway, i'm not converting, i'm buying an scx10.

Sorry CC, but the Ban pic is not helpful to your case, I believe you owe GV an apology, right or wrong he has a right to be heard, as do you.
I am in 2 minds, wether to close the thread or wait and see if your attitude changes.

Be advised, it had better, or this thread will be closed.

Please refrain from verbally attacking other forum members, if you dis-agree with the info you receive, disregard it.

Cheers
Pete

Yeh i believe you need to re avaluate your maners Brendan......and give GV an apology...also it is always better to say nothing & listen rather than abuse others.

In short....Wake up to your self.

[creepy crawla]

okay, i'm sorry for personally attacking you gv. i should not have went off like that and explained in a more calm manner. i will try to see others points more clearly from now on and make myself very clear.

Okay, latest damage report, the front left wheel isn't driving as the left half of the diff lock is shreaded and the front right hub keeps popping out and the yok on the rear drive shaft is continuously popping out (fixed by a zip tie) and that's about it for now.

[creepy crawla]

I totally eliminated The torque twist by using two pen springs, one on the front left shock and one on the back right. They don't affect the flex much but during testing the front right c hub broke again so I'm trying to get warranty on the c hubs.

Hi Sav, welcome to the forum.

Have a look at http://www.rcaction.com.au/index.html not sure weather they have crawler parts thought.I got some parts from them about 12 - 18 months ago, not sure on the delivery side of thing as I picked up directly from them.

I also have this same hsp crawler and have issues lol. Nothing has broken but it's too top heavy and the wheels rub on the body. The torque flex is also very annoying. I might try your pen spring idea.

I also saw someone on youtube swap their HSP compnents over to another body. I assume the same as mentioned in this thread.

Was going to create a new thread but might as well just keep this one alive. From what I can tell the HSP Pangolin 1/10 is similar if not a copy of the Axial AX-10. Many people have converted their AX-10 into an SCX-10. I will probably do this with my HSP.

Video in my above post is from someone-else who has done this already.

You can buy a complete chassis assembly from ebay for no very much.

For anyone who cares the HSP Pangolin is identical to the Maverick Scout. I believe HSP make the Scout for them. The electronics appear to be different but the rest is identical. The Scout is very popular in the UK so if you need any help/tips with conversions etc search for Maverick Scout instead of HSP Pangolin.

Hi Everyone,

Have been looking for a bigger and better body for my 1/8 Hsp crawler since 2011 and have finally found one. It's a Smartech body, from a 1/5 big foot. Mounted it with some hsp body posts used in their 10th scale on road cars. Enjoy the pics.

So I converted my HSP Pangolin into an Axial SCX10. Used the HSP drivetrain and electrics and an Axial SCX10 chassis I picked up 2nd hand.

From this (has different shocks fitted in this pic)



To this.

The gearbox mount/skid plate has to have 2 of the holes slotted to mount up the HSP gearbox. Otherwise everything else just worked. I fitted stock plastic axial links on the front as i had them spare. I used some of the HSP links to make a 4 link setup on the rear. The front lower links on the HSP are bent inwards to give more steering angle. I turned these 90deg and used them for rear lower links. The bend gives them higher clearance. Then used the rear links to make upper links for the rear with a custom 4 link mount. I also deleted the rear steering bar.
