Ok i got a ax10 rtr last 5 months ago and here it is now....
It used to be like this before the transformation began>>>>Axial Ax-10 W/ Monster beetle body

Specs:
Ax10 rtr
hotracing bent links, C hubs, Knuckles.
Hitec 645mg (finally have a servo that i can trust)
Axial rear steer kit.
jr xr3 + novak xxl rx (I got it for 30 bucks)
custom chassis
xspede shocks, drive shafts.

ok enough chit chat now on with the pics.

I used the stock battery plate for the servo and battery and the stock rtr smaller steering link

nice work, i bet it will change even more in the next 5 months

. save your money and dump it into your rig. tires, esc, SERVO. yes, that servo sux ass. get a 7955 tg hitec

. pics look cool

keep up the hard work

Nice start, I dig it. How are you liking those shocks? They look nice, are they smooth and leak free?

bigflex · 10-18-2008, 12:46 AM

looking good so far!

Oh if you ever decide to get into comps. I would ditch the rear steer for dig and use the 645 for that. Then get an even better servo for the steering. Is the XXL reciever 2 or 3 channel? I have a 2ch one in my rock racer and love it. It is nice and small. The XR3 is a good radio. It has a 3 pos. 3rd channel that will come in handy later on. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

I dont use a dig and rear steer I just used the kit to replace the plastic steering links up front, I'll probably get a dig for christmas i dont know.. ill see.. The rx is 2 channel.. Im already joining comps without a dig because here in the philippines we seperated the 2.2 class one for stock and the other for modified(dig and 4ws.)

For a simple TVP chassis, that looks really cool.

And it saves you the headache of coming up with some kind of body mount system as well.

Dynamic^Cipher · 10-22-2008, 02:17 PM

Do you meet these requirements. You will need a tape measure....these are strict so I would not want to guess.

2.1.3 - Bodiless vehicles: Must be a self-supporting, structurally complete, rigid frame. The roof must be raised a minimum of 1” from the main chassis to resemble a cockpit. The frame sides must be an overall minimum of 1” tall (The cockpit & frame side are to be measured vertically from where the hood intersects the cab). Bodiless vehicles should resemble a 1:1 vehicle.

2.1.3.2 - Unibody – Constructed of a single piece of solid material (fiberglass, aluminum,
plastic, etc) and must be self supporting. A Unibody cannot be fastened together in any non- permanent way such as, nuts & bolts, pins, rivets, zip ties, etc. The roof must be raised from the main chassis to resemble a cockpit and should resemble a 1:1 vehicle.

2.3.5 - 2.2 Crawler class bodiless overall dimension of the complete chassis must be at least 8"overall length, 3" overall width, and 3.75" overall height.
