That's the predicament I'm in.. Everyone says the Kings look better than they work. I'd like this rig to work well too.. Plus I kinda don't want to spend $150 on shocks that don't work well. |

I mean diameter? The Krawlers might be different from the Kings from what I've been reading. Maybe I'll take a chance? |

So this one was kinda scary.. I want easier access to under the hood, but didn't want huge body pins. I've seen some people pull off the hood pin look, so I figure it was worth a shot. I had everything held in place with 2.5mm screws before. So I started with some 2.5mm aluminum standoffs. Turned them down and drilled through them End result |

I did order some longer standoffs, hoping they aren't drilled all the way so I don't have that hole in the center. Also ordered up some stainless pins that I hope are a decent size.

BTW, in case I do make it to axial fest.... If my transmission used axial based gears, but wasn't axial, would it be allowed? |

Not an issue, I'm running 3racing axle housings, RC4WD two speed, etc. It is "Axial based" as everything is designed for an SCX10. Just like all the Vanquish clad rigs people bring. Just don't show up with a CR01 or a Wheely King, etc.

I'd like to kind of play with moving gears around and such. It's still an idea, but I have the stuff to try at least. I made a transmission for one of my first scalers way back when wit basic hand tools, so why not? | |

So I've been thinking.. Most of the yeti/rr10 reduction is in the transfer case.. I might try and source a rr10 transfer and play around with that..

Emulsion style shocks should have some air in them. Play with that air/oil ratio, and pump the living crap out of them before making any judgements on dampening. An emulsion shock relies on the oil/air mixing (emulsifying) to get a smooth consistent feel, but because of this, they often give less dampening. Luckily we don't have to deal with shock fade on these little cars. Tuning could REALLY become a mess.
