Ken's "soon-to-be-new" AX10

[Mynameskenny19]

Yeah so in like a week or 2, next time we get paid, my dad's gonna get me an AX10 and he's gonna get himself one of those Losi 1/10 crawlers. Anyhoo, this is gonna be my build thread thingy majigger, so if you want to, you can follow along. Also, it's not gonna be here for at least a whole week more, maybe 2 weeks. Just puttin that out there.

Ight, so when I get my crawler, I'm going to buy stuff for it right from the start and mod it a bunch to my liking. I'll prolly run it around a bunch while waiting for parts to arrive, but when they get here, all business. Ok, on to my parts wish list which I calculated to be around $800-$1,000 when complete. Here goes:

All my parts will be from TCSCrawlers.com and Towerhobbies and RCBros.com

SPV1-55 CHASSIS
INTEGY MSR10 SHOCKS
ALUMINUM SILVER KNUCKLES
ALUMINUM C-HUB SET
UPPER 4-LINK MOUNTS
CNC ALUMINUM AX10 AXLE HOUSINGS [2]
AXIAL RACING BLUE COLOR PACK
CHASSIS SPACERS
GEAR SET 43/13
NOVAK GOAT BRUSHLESS SYSTEM

That's all for right now, the total without tax is $806 so pretty much $800
I'm probably going to get a dig unit too, wheel weights, LiPo batteries, and I'm still deciding on wheter or not I want to run a lathe motor. Any help or suggestions would be awesome, I hope my build goes as planned and without any snags. In case anybody is wondering bout my color scheme, I'm going with silver, blue, and a lil bit of orange.

Thanks for reading, if you reply, I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
I'm outtie.

[Mynameskenny19]

Nahh, he ain't buying my RC parts, just the base cralwer kit for $190 as my early B-day present lol. I still have to buy all my parts and such. What you do for work? I'm going to college for Associate's Degree of Science in Manufacturing Technology. Yeah, thats a long degree name, ain't it? lol

[Mynameskenny19]

Ya they do look cool, so I guess if looks is all your after rather then performance they are perfect for you. Just trust me, I bought them to and ran them for 30 sec. and sold them, they truly do suck. I would have tried to tune them but I knew integy's quality, none. Just food for thought...

[Mynameskenny19]

Ight, thanks for the info man. I'm gonna get myself 2 sets of the Losi shocks or maybe use some shocks off of my Tmaxx with light oil.

I got my Novak Rooster ESC with 55t motor today along with a JR RS300 reciever and a JR Racing Z590M servo and my new JRRacing XS3 radio. Sooo, tomorrow is when the guy at my LHS told me that my ax1 will be there, so hopefully it comes in the morning and not later that day. You guys want pics of what I got or no? Just wondering cuz I don't really care. I'll definately put pics up when I get my crawler though. Peace out

[Mynameskenny19]

Oh and do the Integy aluminum parts work good? Or are they just like their shocks and suck major donkey ballz?
Next pay check I'm thinking bout getting a bunch of aluminum parts along with the SPV1 frame.

[Mynameskenny19]

Ok so I got my crawler today, put in the Rooster, reciever, and a new servo I got today. Then on the motor shaft, I put a 12 tooth pinion on for low gearing and trust me, right now it goes pretty slow and can go up very steep inclines, has lots and lots of torque, and yeah, I love it! I clocked the axles, but I'm not too sure of the angle of the drivelines with how they are now that I clocked the axles. Sooo I'm gonna go run it at the rock pile, spend a couple batteries testin it out [lotsa fun!] and then I'll come back and post some pics. See ya!
