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
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
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
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
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
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
Not sure what to upgrade first on your crawler? I ranked the first 5 upgrades in the order that actually makes sense. Skip the noise. senditslow.com/guides/first-5-upgrades #RCCrawling #RCUpgrades #RCBeginner
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
Wheel weights are the most underrated micro crawler upgrade. A few grams on each wheel drops the center of gravity right where it counts. Cheap and no tools needed. #RCUpgrades #SCX24 #TRX4M
