View Full Version : Alternate mount hole positions on AX-10 Chasis?
Super amigos:
Has anyone experimented with the alternate mount positions on the stock AX-10 chassis? If so, which through-hole positions for the links, shocks and triangle link have given you best results? Is it symmetrical front and rear?

Migs i was thinking about trying it but then i thought of making the links longer so it will make the wheel base just a little longer right now its at 12 1/2 stock and i was thinking if it will help to climb better it it was longer in wheel base length..Anyone tried it yet i would like your imput..thanks

I got a extra chassis for 10 bucks and i have tried many different holes. I have my rear links up higher on the rear and triangulated the rear. It seemes to help the torque twist alot. This is my Wk test rig.

In the pictures the setup is quite radical. Are you happier with this setup than the stock configuration? I notice you have moved some links inward. Can you comment if it is indeed better? I'm really glad to see your pictures. -Migs

As for moving the bottom links in its called reverse triangulation. I saw this on a few rigs at the last comp and wanted to try it."thumbsup" I just got back from driving it and it was way better than before. It eliminated almost all of the torque twist from before. I am about to order this(http://www.shop.rpphobby.com/product.sc?categoryId=94&productId=1300) for my comp rig.
I moved the standard bottom links inward to the innermost position and the stability improved 100%. It is almost impossible to roll the truck in full throttle whereas before (in the outermost position) it would roll easily. -Migs
