Guys!  Any answer for my question?

"there are 2 kinds of moabs.  What are the difference?  Also, do you add any weights inside the tires? "

I can answer u the 2nd one........my tire are in post office now...but i doubt i will add weight to it since the rubber is soft already!

There are 2 types of 40 Series Moab tire.

The set on my Spider is the Narrow set that I got them from Harmony Model.
I have not yet put any weights inside them but I'm planning to do later.

I would not recommend ordering at RC4WD at the moment. They seem to be having some trouble with their shipping. There are a lot of complains of people receiving half their order or not receiving anything at all. Check out www.thecrawlerstore.com, they should have many items that you guys need and no complains of their shipping ever.

Mike, the narrow tires are better for crawling because it puts less stress on the servo when turning while the truck is stationary. Also, they tend to have more sidewall which is useful in crawling. Also, I am not aware of a Gmade chassis that uses the TLT axles. The only one I know is the new Junfac chassis. But since it uses the stock drivetrain, it is not very suitable for crawling since it is belt driven.

High turn motor + slow crawling = replacing belts all the time.

Find a stampede or rustler transmission (same) on Ebay and get yourself a chassis built for those transmission. Much better performance and IMO looks much better too.

Brother jpmontoya2 ....  
I don't see you install the anti-rollbar set on your spider. Do you think it will be better without the anti-rollbar on?
By the way .... for the original clod axle, you're gonna need to install the Axle Tube Brace. It's a must as the most weak point of the axle is at the C-Hub at the end of the Axle Tube .......  like this one ....

Hi Brother Rock Dragon...

I did remove the sway bar...because the sway bar kinda limits the rolling effect.....and i found that from the Gmade website..their Spider Video also crawl without the Sway Bar....

For the Axle Brace...i did install ga....probably the picture  angle that you did not notice it was there....:-)

Currently running with two 550 motos which will soon be replaced by a twin 55T motor as Rock Dragon suggested...

And i am currently waiting for some heavy duty servo saver..without those...my car is only a display item man!!!!

Brother jpmontoya2 ....  
I think that you should try to connect the receiver battery pack on and let see that you still have the problem of servos not turning.
Why? .... The Traxxas EVX ESC has BEC current output at only 1.5 Amp max. This won't be enough current to drive 2 servos at the same time as for the 4WS.
The esc I'm using is TEKIN REBEL 2 that it has 5 Amp of the BEC current. The other common ESC that are used in the rc rock crawler is the Novak Super Rooster .... but it's already discontinued making.

Let me know the result.
