I have always wanted a low COG and high ground clearance. Now I got both. Anyway this is like the 10th ax10 configuration I have tried in the last 6 months and so far it is the best, extremely stable in offcamber situations. It is very deceving to look at it, cause all the crap is so low inside the body. Thanks Jason for the cool picture idea, I stole it from you.

Video comming soon

Think you could cram any more in that 5lb bag?

Looks solid. Mighty tight fit between that motor and disconnect.

Kamikaze · 01-20-2008, 04:08 PM

Yeah it was tight. Thats with a 12 tooth pinion, the 13 fit a little better, but got to close the the chassis. When I get my other quark back in I'll try the 4 cell again, don't want to risk it without a backup.

Oh and its an 8lbs bag...........

brushlessnut · 01-20-2008, 04:55 PM

looks good how are you liking that chassis?

cembom · 01-20-2008, 06:32 PM

Yeah I love that chassis. Would it ruin the motor to get it spinning and turn it down a bit with sandpaper? I can promise you that there will be another major overhaul. Chassis will probably stay but somethings going.

There's realy nothing to turn down, the can wall is fairly thin.

Dickie691986 · 01-20-2008, 06:58 PM

I have realy liked it. As far as the slop in the dig, there is some, but getting the linkage setup just right is important. I will be machining new bushings for it to tighten it up a bit. Otherwise it works flawlessly.

are those 6mm spacers where the upper links are connected to the boomerang? is there any noticable difference by doing that?

RXcrawler · 01-21-2008, 12:54 AM

There goes the neighbor hood... Good job Jeff on the paint. I might be scared if you could actually drive a 2.2 ....naugh.

MattG · 01-21-2008, 02:01 AM

That's definately awesome... I'm jealous. And that shot with the body faded is cool, I think I know how you did it

Yes, you can adjust the squat/anti-squat with that. works realy well.

trailjunkie · 01-21-2008, 05:41 AM

Great looking rig, looks like it can handle anything you can throw under It., really like that body too.

miller · 01-21-2008, 11:11 AM
