|  Optional gear sets?
hey guys, im rebuilding my rig from top to bottom basically, and im not sure which gear set/s to buy. I see on the axial site it says one set per axle. I thought some people were running only the faster set upfront and that's it. i only have enough money to get 1 lol. A little guidence would be nice, but im looking to speed up my rig a bit |

it's a prefernce and what kind of drving style you have. i'm installing the 43-13 to help reduce torque twist. and have the rear not push so much up hill. but i have a 55 turn novak and not much wheel speed to begin with i will proably have to buy a 45t homeshibbis motor to get my wheel speed back up. just way in the pro and cons of the under drive or over drive

Get the slower gearset (43/13) for the back. Really helps turning a bunch, and it helps getting up verticals or undercuts. I'm quite happy with them.

Im running just the underdrive set in the rear and I think it was some of the best money I have ever spent! Next to no torque twist, tighter turning, and it helps 10-fold on ascents and decents.

Yeah if you got the rear end dialed already then get the front set. If the rear end needs a bit of work, then get the rear set. |

[QUOTE=dwarrick;2001979]your front tires will spin faster then the rear causing the truck to want to skid all the time[/QUOTE/] FAIL!! The tires don't turn all that much faster. Faster yes, a huge difference front to rear wheelspeed no. I run the OD in the fronts and stock rears. My truck climbs better than it did before with no "skid" at all. Also the OD front acts like a welfare dig. I've found by turning full left or right and blipping the throttle it will pull itself in a tighter turn. I also like the little bit of extra pull on a climb with a lip. |

i put the ud on order for the rears, as well as a BUNCH of other goodies  my plan is to make this truck a serious contender for next summer! The truck before was currently junk electronics, novak motor, basically all stock ax10 kit other then a swx kit, and rock claws LOL. Bought a dig for it, and now the upgrades have been ordered  Thanks guys so stay tuned for a build thread in the next 2 or 3 weeks
