| Lady J AX-10 Build
Here is a list of what i have so far on order. My cluttered up my own thread so i'll try to keep this one neater. AX-10 Scorpion Steering - Hitec HS5955TG ESC - Novak rooster crawler Motor - Novak 55T Transmission - CKRC aluminum gears RCP delrin skid AX10 HD Yokes Upgrade for Axial Scorpion AX10 Drive shaft Upgrade Kit For Axial Scorpion AX10 Aluminum Adjustable Split Battery Axle Plates CKRC Heavy Duty Bent Links For The Axial AX-10 (4) Front Axle - AX10 case, hardended ring and pinion, RCP Knuckles, RCP C's Rear Axle - AX10 Case, hardened ring and pinion, CKRC SS straight axle shafts with lockout. Wheels - RC4WD 2.2 Rockstars (JUNK!!!!) new wheels are eight shooters Tires - losi rock claws Body - Flamed out silverado by ftr Battery - 6 cell saddle pack with Elite 1500 cells I still need a spektrum rx and some lockers..... Opinions? This is going to be a shelf queen/house crawler so i am not intrested in a dig or rear steer setup. I just don't want to get everything here and then find out i missed something.

why? all thats really left would be the actual axle housings. i don't see much point in that. I like having some plastic between my aluminum. I want it to be a fully functional and ready to hit the rocks crawler but it will probably see more office crawling than anything.

IMO you dont really need the axle battery plates. i just zip tied my split cell pack right to the axle and it works great. i got the hitec ultra torque servo and i also got a couple of the tower pro servos i am very impressed by the tower pro servo's. they actually have alittle bit more power and quickness and are a third of the price of the hitec servo. heres a link for 4 of them http://cgi.ebay.com/4x-Servo-MG-995-...QQcmdZViewItem something to think about : i took the stock axial straight links and bent them 25 degrees now my wheel base is exactly 12.5. when i used the stage 2 kit bent links, my wheel base was closer the 13 inches. also you have a 7 cell maximum with the novak rooster crawler so if your gonna order batterys get why not get the elite 1500 7cell sadle pack? and IMO their is no need for aluminum anything but knuckles. good luck Last edited by 12flex; 03-06-2008 at 05:56 AM. |

well the aluminum case is shiny but obviously the plastic aint gonna fail if anything you'll strip out the pastic gear in the tranny but since yours is gonna be a contertop queen then idk go all bling |

I'm not sure I'd bother with the hardened R&P gears, either. They don't seem to be a point of failure, esp with a 55t on 6 cells.

its certainly staying clean. just a solid build that should last quite awhile how about shocks. i see alot of guys with the traxxas big bores? is this the shock to have or is there something else i need to be looking at. Last edited by kurt; 03-06-2008 at 08:48 PM. |

will do. i am setting up a table in my office at work so i can build it while i work. i think i am done buying for now. wasn't expecting $200 for wheels and tires. lol my last few packages should be here tommorow but at the very least i can get some links built and have everything laid out and prepped for when the new stuff gets in. |

finally got some work done. Much thanks to CKRC, RCP, RCWD, Holmes Hobbies, A-Main hobbies, and Dirk Digler The dog chewed up my memory card reader so no real camera pics for now. I snapped a few with my cell phone and here they are. Little too flexy for me. going to try some new springs next week. flamed out body by ftr should be here next week too. enjoy |
