Losi Nightcrawler Axles and CMS

[Fumey]

Going to try building a Class 1 with an Axial chassis and the Losi NC axles. Any tips for setting up a CMS?

You'll need a panhard bar of the same length and on the same plane as your steering link to prevent bumpsteer. Also use a 4-link setup minus one of the top front links; see the following pics:

Thanks. How would the panhard connect to the Losi axle?

Thats where it get interesting and you will have to DIY some bracket for the axle i think

I do have a LCC myself i have not used for many years, so not sure what or if there are any options for CMS on those rigs/axles

Yeah, in that particular blog he used a CMS kit from Hand Brothers Off-road which I can’t find any info about. As far as fabricating some type of bracket myself, I dunno. I think the only thing I may be able to fabricate is a paper weight.

I have done a few. This one I did last year and it worked well

Hand bros is old school scx10 cms kit.

As far as building something, this project will require custom fabricated components. If you dont think you can acomplish that I suggest looking at some more popular axles. Such as Scx10, or Scx10 2 axles.

In that link to RC Truckstop, he made that old school Hand Brothers CMS kit work on those losi axles- and that’s kind of what I’m fishing around here for, methods that have been used. I can rig things up, I just don’t have the ability to weld or machine a custom C-hub. I do however have the axles and plan to make them work. Thanks.
