Batteries at controller or at receiver? What kind of batteries better to use? Is it normal 7,2 v at receiver? DLuders, of course both antennas screwed.

Have bought receiver unit and rc controller from race buggy From 8366 at bricklink. Seller tells that everything is OK. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=5282 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=6272c01 While testing found a problem: controlling at distance more than 1,5 meters is with lags. Car twitches. It is like receiver receive signal with gaps or breaks. I have all antennas, it doesnt matter 1 or 2 buggy motors connected to receiver, and no matter loaded them or not. Receiver is powered with fully charged rechargeable accus. Controller is powered with new 9v battery Pleomax (not alkaline). Dont know what is the problem: accus with 7,2v or bad non-alkalline battery at controller, or may be problem with receiver or controller? Can I repair them? At 1 meter distance all works fine: Both buggy motors and steering motor works fine and powerful. HELP!

I own this tires from 1994year 8858 set. They are much heavier than 68.8 tires from 8081 (modern analog of that old baloons) so it is better to use new baloons of this size or change gear reduction if younwant old one.

You are in time: lego presented us new set 9398 - this is set includes Remote controlled crawler with all electrics (new motors, including servo) for building trial trucks. Of course one set is not enough to build with all you fantasy, so it is bEtter to buy two or more big flagman's sets like 9398, 8110, 8043, 8258. This give you many beams and gears not to think "how many gears left in my box?!" When I came out of my DA I bought first 8043 because of full rc electrics set and 8070 because of big wheels (good for supercars) and full set of suspension. Of course both this sets contain many beams, axles, pins, connectors and gears. After that I began to buy spare parts: like additional gears, diffs, wheels of different size, electrics (like xlmotor and train remote conroller)...because I understood what I need and how to build. Of course I continued to buy new big sets (because of big pieces count and low price per piece) like 8110, 9398. So if you can buy two big sets or more - do it. If you dont want to spent much money for the first time - buy new 9398.

Very cool!

Wow Can you make bottom view?

Nice testing polygon at 4:45. When i'll receive my 9398, I'll also made a polygon with wooden sticks, bricks, cuttings and nails. I found that sand can be simulated by sawdust - they are not so dangerous for plastic details... 3:20 - quarter mile race?! You and Conchas are real crush-test maniacs:)

My little boy prefer to play "hand of God" mode, not remote control Sorry, Do not understand your question about differential and solid axle... 1) civil version of 9395 has two diffs at front and rear axles. Both axles are solid. Rear diff is LSD using rubber cheat- it really helps 2) crawler version has no diffs, but both axles are also solid. To Dluders and BasOne: 3rd party tires are from kids RC toy. Rubber is so-so, but protector is much better than lego's tire. Thank you Added 2 videos to first message (look up) Crawler http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh_EyHbqSdM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

THE EVOLUTION OF 9395 9395 is very good set for modding: optimal size for integrating PF-not too heavy+ nice old "skul" design, 1.First stage was to make it wagon and destroy towing functions. 2. Stage: making suspension 3.PF-ing model Finding optimal chassis, suspension and drivetrain: ] More photos[/url Here i am improved the exterier look One day he told "father, I wamt to be a crawler, it is very popular now!:)" We designed new solid axles with portal hubs, made RC winch and LEDs on the roof.

Very stylish DUB mod You can make side skirts and lower bumpers- it will look like lowrider Great idea for modding.

The first foto looks like render, cool, good contrast, color and background I like THE B. About heavy front: is it possible to move BB a little bit back to balance heavy front with BB MOVED BACK?

Any customer can have a car painted in any colour he wants so long as it is black. Henry Ford. Fully black is the best color combination. We have everything for that : wheels, panels an other details in black, may be except some axles used as bars and steering .

Everybody relax and go play 9398;) It is too early to talk about 2013

Crazy lowrider:)) I think it would look better if he make bumper and and skirts lower 1 stud. Ground clearance descerases, and car will look more sporty

Very good:) I'm sure itispossible to put there 2m motors- one for steering, one for propulsion!

Cool! So small, cute and functional

May be train remote helps you at climbing. Driving with standart remote makes crawler too nervous.

Yeah, my wife's father drives 4runner 2000' shipped from US and new prado 150 from dealer. First uses for "dirty" driving, second for long distance trips:) but loves 4runner more than new prado. He Wanted to buy new 4runner from US but I adviced him new prado with garanty from dealer.... He likes 4runner's 5-th door that opens up (at prado to right side as usual door) and can be used in rainy wheather as umbrella:))) We have lexus gx and prado at our market. It is shame that toyota do not sell 4runner at Russia Video is old, I need some time to make video showing all details and possibilities of moc.... Thank you, but I dream of studless prado, like your models:)

Huge work! Did you plan to cover the body? Or you just planned to bulid mechanics?

Iam still waiting for details (coming next month) to make it more studless . For now I have some design and color improvements, and of course we visited some fishing places while winter and summer season. Winter fishing Summer fishing

Lego tires looks so sh*tty after such beauty David, if you'll paint words "Mickey Tompson" with white color - that would be cool Waiting for your video, give us some positive emotions

Man, why don't you make tire and wheel blue like body?

Why not 8081 - it would be a real monster truck. You also can try to mount 9395, cabin from 8110, or 8043 (iam serious) on chassis As for new colors : black, yellow, orange, white and blue with red chassis looks like rainbow. Gay's crawler You,ve better be careful with colouring 9398 , it was born to be brutal and climb any obstacle

The new era in truck trial and crawling begins. Powerful compact motors with big grippy tires.

It is time to open Lego dealer service centers to sell spare parts, to make regular maintenance
