|  Another Ax10 building Project hi , I run on road cars from some years ago but I´m a crawler newbie and I like to shown here my ax10 building , not much but the basics and some home made parts , nothing real new but my own project  After building the chassis , I cut rear foams like this :   I use this star patern foams back and memory proline foams on Losi Rock Claw tires I pretend to have 250g in front and 180g back ( including wheel, foam and tire ) so I use some wheel weights tire balance to achieve that  Now , I have to eliminate chassis torque twist so I have two solutions , I buy the parts or I build it , so I have a carbon plate and I take the job :-)    All dremell made , because I have some more carbon I made the battery radio tray plate top and front   Buy a nice aluminum center chassis plate  And this is the general foto :  I´m thinking to have buy some more extras parts and I´ll do some more modifications later and I´ll back to post it , thank you Last edited by barebones; 07-03-2009 at 07:06 PM. |

|  Looks good, but the aluminum skid will hurt you more than help. look into some delrin skids, or since your a DIY'er buy some flat stock and make one! that carbon front battery plate looks great as well! |

| Stainless is weak for crawlering, and anything in the "RC" area. Nice work on the battery plate/servo mount. Looks awesome. |

| Delrin Slides over the rocks better. The aluminum digs into the rocks and slows the truck down. Can cause more hang ups on rocks with the aluminum |
