nice crawler! see all the youtube videos!The title does not mention if the cvd's are updated but if it breaks the SN can be sent to LOSI to get an exchange if it s the old ones. i haven t had any issues so far.The dig servo can be easily controled with an old remote with 3 channels min., just assemble 3 adjustable potentiometers in serie (2x 1.7kohm + 2.2kohm), shunt the 2 at the extremities with a 2x 2 contacts lockable in 3 positions (contact left - no contact - contact right) switch. use the central potentiometer to adjust the neutral which is connected to the centre wire of your channel plug. You then get either front or rear dig in action - it works great for me - fully "programmable".Add weight in the wheels: i taped soldering wire (40Sn-60Pb) inside the wheels as it is the cheapest i could find. Losi s manual recommands 175g in the front weels and 75g in the rear wheels. i had to cut some of the foam inserts with a cutter.strangefully the foams are not the same on left and right wheels (????) upon removal from the tyre, one came back to original shape and another did not!i use castle MMP esc with Novak brushless 18.5T sensored motor successfully contrary to what can be read on the forums - it is compatible without interference :) i use the 15° material timing but needs improvement. an external BEC is recommanded as the MMP only delivers 3Amp to the servo (fragile).Battery: i first chose the losi lipo battery 3S 1350mah but it only lasts 1h05 max (stone crawling) or 40 min (steep hill climbing). i might buy the Maxamps 2000mah 3s which fits in the tiny compartment.protection: i wrapped cut pvc plastic from soda bottle around the chassis tubings to slide on rocks easilier and avoid damaging the nice looking tubes.it is recommanded to drill a hole in the worm gear box to allow inserting grease with a syringe and small needle every 2-3 runs so it stays well lubrified (heats up a lot).annoyances:-most of the high torque servos have 25 teeth head. the package only contains Al servo arms for 23 & 24 teeth servos!-funny tyre foam (see above)-grease tends to be ejected from rear worm gear box by the axle hole.options not tried yet:-Non-Slipper Top Shaft Gear-HD worm gears-some people even cut into the chassis and remove parts of it to lower the GC.
