Hpi crawler king

[cottonb]

Just got my crawler king. i dont kno why i have got one of these until now but they are awsome it is a little bit harder then i thought but i will get it figure it out. i do have some questions for anyone who has a crawler king or who crawls .......they put the battery up from to distribute weight but it doesnt seem to help a whole lot so how do i keep from flipping over when i get into something at a steep angle and i heard that and have seen people put bbs in their tires what is that suppost to do and if i do put bbs in my tires do i need to pull the foam out and have just bbs. well that was all i wanted to ask so thanks for readin

You need to weight you wheels! either get the led roll they use for making fishing weights (available @ most big sporting goods stores) or led stick on wheel weights for 1/1 alum wheels (available on line or at local tire stores)

Also Im going to bet your shocks are way too stiff! you should be able to lift 1 tire to maxx articulation & have the other 3 still on the ground... If not then either you have something binding or the springs are to stiff...

Oh & id recomend joining rccrawlers.com they have an entire section on the Wheely King/ Crawler King & a boat load of other sectins that will help you get your truck to its potential.
Hope this helps...

so do i need to put the weights in my tires and take out the foam if i buy the ones from a sporting goods store.

[airdreams1]

no but youll need to trim the foam a bit so it slides over the weight.. & if your tires seem too stiff you can also trim V shapes all the way around into them & that will make them softer & they will grip better.

im a little bit confused im not very big in the rc thing i havent had mine cars and crawler for very long. i understand that i need to weight the tires. so i will take it in an ask the guy at the hoddy store i go to and have them show me exactly what you meen. thanks for the help though and i did get my shocks loosened up and that did seem to help some so thanks for that
