Here ya go, kind of hard to see. It's tied to the top of the axle and also to the axle tube with a long flathead M3. I still need to make a sleeve for the M3 screw.

Thanks.

The SW3 was available for a while, but I'm out of everything right now. I took on a new job and it's keeping my really busy. So, I haven't had a chance to make more yet.

Hey Bender..in the second pic... your link looks like its touches or almost touches the spring cups...when you flex up is it hitting or pushing the cup up?

I had mine like that and it would push the damn cup up...I actually ended up mounting my bent links backwards so it wouldnt hit.(short end up at the skid)

Is there any disadvantage to what i did?

The links are really close to the spring cups, but they don't touch each other while the suspension cycles.

Flipping the HC links around will still give you more clearance then straight links. I don't see it hurting anything from your description.

Bender - Have you had any problems with the screws for the plastic servo mounts, the ones coming in from underneath the plate, coming loose or stripping out of the mount?

Nice build BTW.

Thanks.

The SW3 AX10 works as good, if not better, then my TLT right now. I'm very happy so far.

Thanks,

Like mentioned in that thread will they have a full parts bag to convert from green to whatever color fully. Or maybe make the kit available in all those colors

Very nice build. This will be my main reference for mine, if I ever build one

I'm going to try and run a batch of the longer skids soon.

Brad your Rig looks awesome! I watched the video and I have seen your
TLT setup in some of your videos. The AX-10 looks to have a lot more flex
going on than your TLT. Am I right about that? Also are you running weight
in your wheels? If you are how much front and back?
I am going to build this setup for my next Comp Rig. The Ax-10 seems
like it's taking over.

Thanks Rick.

The AX10 did have more flex then the TLT in the video. I stood the shocks up a little more since then, and now it's probably just a shade less then the TLT had. I'm not running any extra weight in the wheels, aside from the memory foams.

It's just a Canon S1 IS, only 3.2 mp. It's perfect for posting pics and vids here though.
