Default Most Annoying part?

What is your most annoy piece or part of your AX10, what makes you cry when you have to put a wrench to it?

As part of its good design, my kit went together great, and maintenance and repairs have been fairly easy, exept for one thing, one little tiny part that brings a tear to my eye at the thought of having it deal with it. It is that little its-bitsy washer that goes between the lower link and the shock on the axels. I always get gitty when I get that little bastard were it belongs; then depression sinks back in when I think about the other three waiting to fight with me...

If you hang a slightly longer bolt at that spot, it makes it easier to get everything on, including that spacer.

I hate the fact that the front steering servo screw comes loose every 15 minutes of use, or 1 hour of just sitting. Whatever comes first........

yea that washer is a pain! but a pair of needle nose usually does the trick...

blue loctite for the servo screw! coming from a nitro background it's just habit for me...everything on those uses/needs loctite.

the bead locks wheels are my nightmare...damm little screws! but it's better than super glue! I hacked off the end of a allen wrench and use that in my screw gun...life is easier now!

Good truck,no doubt. The part I hate is having to lift when in a bind.

A simple solution:

Put a bit of grease on it, and it will prevent it from falling off while you thread the bolt.

My most hated are three:
1. Zillions of screws and my wrist gets tired.
2. Universal joint assembly.
3. When that tiny part goes flying and I have to go into CSI mode to find it.

When I drove an axial the part that drove me nuts the most were that stupid thing in between the axles.........the trans . HAHAH

But really I always hated having to crack the axle cases open. I don't know why but was always just something I dreaded.

nice little tip for finding parts, turn the lights off and lay a flash light on the floor and sweep the light side to side, look for the shadow of the part.




my least pavorit part is the DNA dig servo, those 225 servos are just to sensitive to heat and resistance. someone needs to come out with a full size servo mount and produce them.

Wouldn't have to be that way if you weren't running puller motors with 14 volts .

Those are the weakest motors I have. If I had a Trinity or Integy motor,there'd be no issue. Nothing would break.
