Prop your rig upside down on a foam block when working on the underside. Keeps it stable, protects the body, and gives you access to everything underneath without juggling. #RCCrawling #RCHobby #RCTruck

Silicone shock boots keep dirt and debris out of your shock shafts. $5 for a set. Stock shocks last a lot longer when grit isn't grinding through the seals every run. #RCCrawling #RCUpgrades #TrailCrawling

Don't overtighten your wheel nuts. Snug is enough. Overtightened nuts bind the bearings and create drag that eats battery life and slows your crawl. #RCCrawling #RCCars #RCBeginner

You buy one upgrade and suddenly you need three more to support it. That's the rabbit hole. Wrote about how to recognize it and when to stop. senditslow.com/blog/the-upgrade-rabbit-hole #RCCrawling #RCUpgrades #RCHobby

I wish this stuff came out 6 months ago lol I've had fun building the course but a 4x4 of this in the table i built would have been a lot cheaper and it's so easy to change up. #rccrawling #tinytruckstearingitup #tinytruckssavingmysanity

Mark your shock pistons before disassembly. A dot of paint pen on matching sides saves you from guessing which shock goes where when you reassemble. #RCCrawling #RCHobby #RCCars

Do you crawl alone or with other people? I mostly run solo but I've been thinking about finding a local group. Better or worse with company? #RCCrawling #RCCommunity #RCLife

When installing new shocks, cycle them by hand 20-30 times before mounting. Gets the air bubbles out and the oil distributed evenly. Smoother action from the first run. #RCCrawling #RCUpgrades #RCCars

What part of your rig breaks the most? For me it's steering links. I've gone through three sets this year already and it's March. #RCCrawling #RCLife #MicroCrawler

Swapped my stock tire inserts for firmer aftermarket foam and the difference in side-hill stability surprised me. Stock foam is too soft for anything technical. Worth the $8. #RCCrawling #RCUpgrades #SCX24

Zip ties are the most useful thing in my field bag. Temporary axle guards, cable management, securing loose body panels mid-run. Pack a handful every time. #RCCrawling #TrailCrawling #RCHobby

Ranked the best SCX24 upgrades by actual impact, not hype. Some $10 parts outperform $40 ones. Here's the order that makes sense. senditslow.com/guides/best-scx24-upgrades #SCX24 #RCUpgrades #RCCrawling

Your transmitter trim should be set on a flat surface with fresh batteries. If you trimmed it on carpet or a slope, your baseline is off. Reset and redo it. Takes two minutes. #RCCrawling #RCTruck #RCBeginner

Is adding brass to your SCX24 actually worth it? Depends on where you put it. Wrote up what works, what's overkill, and what order to add it. senditslow.com/guides/scx24-brass-upgrade #SCX24 #RCCrawling #RCUpgrades

Check your servo saver before blaming your servo. Half the time "bad steering" is just a worn servo saver spring, not a dead servo. Cheap part to replace. #RCCrawling #RCCars #SCX24

Magnetic body mounts are one of those upgrades that don't improve performance but make everything else easier. Quick access to the battery and electronics without fumbling with clips. #RCCrawling #RCUpgrades

Store your LiPo batteries at storage voltage when you're done for the day. Not full, not empty. Most chargers have a storage mode. Your packs will last way longer. #RCCrawling #RCHobby

What's the upgrade you keep putting off? For me it's rewiring. I know it needs doing. I keep finding other things to work on instead. #RCCrawling #RCLife #RCHobby

Run your rig on carpet before you run it on rocks. Carpet shows you steering trim issues, binding, and alignment problems that rocks hide with grip. Good diagnostic tool. #RCCrawling #RCCars

Keep a few spare screws in your field bag. The ones that back out on the trail are always the ones you don't have extras of. Learned this one the annoying way. #RCCrawling #TrailCrawling
