can anyone hook me up with actual instructions on how to install the optional front locker for the AX10 RTR? also will i still be able to crawl decently if i have only bent rear lower links and straight front lower links? |

I would have thought the instructions would come with it. If not, you can download them in PDF form from axials home site http://www.axialracing.com/ Im sure the straight links will be fine |

well it doesnt do step by step. it just shows which screws to take out and everything. not in what order to do everything in.

Just pull the front axle apart, and keep everything organized so you can remember the order in which you did it. Once you get to the center of the axle, undo the 4 screws on the bevel gear and pull it off. Inside you will find the spider gears housed in the space the shape of the dif locker. Pull the spider gears out, put a little grease on the locker, stick it in and reverse what you did to take it all apart.  The straight links will be fine. Though down the road you might want to change them out for the bent links. All up to you and if you feel it is hindering you in the wheeling you are doing.

the links im getting are from a member off here. its a brand new set he said so im just waiting on pictures now. i just need to find out what color they are because im leaning towards converting the truck to the red kit. red XC-1 body, red beadlock rings, and all the red aluminum links and such. | |

Cool. I don't know about you but I am a very hands on learner and I tend to have to just take things apart rather than rely on instructions. These axles are very simple though (especially compared to real 1:1 axles). I think you will find if you take it apart and are careful in placing the parts in order and not mixing things up it will only take you 5 or 10 minutes from start to finish.

Congrats .....and told ya so....now all you need to do is get the Axial 55T motor and instal the 14T pinion gear. Gettting the mesh right is the only hard part. | |
