How to build an RC rock crawler?

Jul 12, 2021 · Different sized rocks can be used to make a bumpy terrain. This can then be used to test the great shocks of your RC. You can leave the rocks loose or make hills out of them stuck together with cement. Lastly, use the rocks to create hills, boundaries, and even tunnels. This will give your course a rustic feel and a bumpy terrain for your crawler.

Now comes the design of the chassis itself. do design the chassis, we first need to look at what makes a successful rock crawler chassis. after many hours of looking on the internet, I have narrowed it down to two things; the overall GC (lower to the ground is better) and the amount of grip and flexibility the chassis has, in terms of keeping the wheels on the ground.

Introduction

If you have an RC Rock Crawler, chances are you’ve always thought about a course. But when it came to designing and making it, did you get lost?

Where Can You Make The Course?

The amount of space can be a determining factor for you while deciding about the location. Don’t let this overwhelm you. Be it outdoors or indoors, we’ve got the right ideas for you.

Set The Courses Up!

This is fairly straightforward. But, you need to think and consider some things before you get going.

Test Drive And Adjust

All that is left now is to assemble the parts you have made and give the crawler a run. Make sure if you make bridges, they can support the car.

Wrapping Up

Well, you have made it to the end. We hope this article helps you come up with unique RC rock Crawler Course ideas.

Step 1: The Goal

Since I will only be designing and constructing the chassis for the rock crawler, I needed a base to build off of. That is where the Axial AX-10 Deadbolt Or the Axial Wraith come in. The AX-10 deadbolt and the Wraith are commercially available RC rock crawlers that are very capable in terms of trailing and light rock crawling.

Step 2: The Parts and Materials Used

To begin our build, we will need some simple parts from local stores around your area, as well as the parts from your axial AX-10 Deadbolt or Wraith. since these two trucks use the same axles, shocks, and transmission, which truck you start out with doesn't really matter, because these are the parts we will be using.

Step 3: The Tools

We will need very simple tools for this build. The cutting boards (or Delrin) are fairly soft materials, but with a lot of strengths when braced and assembled properly.

Step 4: The Theory

Now comes the design of the chassis itself. do design the chassis, we first need to look at what makes a successful rock crawler chassis.

Step 5: The Design

With our goal and theories in mind, we can start the design. My personal idea was to have the ability to use full stick packs, such as a 5000mah 2 cell lipo in my crawler for longer run times, while still being able to use a smaller battery out front to help with more challenging sections and competition courses.

Step 6: The Design Part 2

Included here are a photo of the plans for the chassis of the crawler, as well as the other pieces used in construction.

Step 7: Cutting and Drilling the Chassis

This is by far the most labor intensive part of this build, the cutting. As mentioned before, this is a very tough material and is relatively difficult to cut by hand. however this stuff also has a very low melting temperature, which means that any high-speed tool (Sawzall, etc.) will just melt the plastic.
