| Roket's Orange
Don't have a clever name for my Comp rig, so I'll just refer to it as the orange. Specs: Axial Ax-10 ARTR STRC Aluminum rear lockouts, steering knuckles, skidplates, chassis standoffs. Miscelaneous electronics Clocked transmission X-Trail droop springs. Flexes pretty good, I've done some suspension tuning. Centered driveline/clocked trans. I don't even know if I'm properly using the term "clocked" right. It is rotated. Clocks rotate. Makes sense to me. My intent was to lower the CG and center the driveline. The motor sits a bit higher, but everything overall is lower. Everybody loves a low cg. I'm wondering though...the motor sits a bit higher now. Did that make everything else Null? |

I'd suggest putting your tranny back the normal way, the motor and the battery being that high raises your COG a TON. I'd move your battery on top of the servo or on the front links or something. Also just out of curiousity, why aren't your running your lower links inside the chassis? I like how you mounted your battery though, not ideal for comps, but clever!! |

I'd move the RX up but I need an extension for the ESC lead first, it's a short one. | |

you need to get rid of that aluminum skid roket, and do a few more things, but looks good

(30-odd dollas. It's the real deal.) Realized this, and did away with the clocking setup. I'll snap some new pictures when I have time. Last edited by Roketcooper; 09-23-2009 at 07:58 PM. | |

Getting it set up properly... Set the trans back down low, moved the front links inward, mounted the ESC on the upper links, moved the battery pack to the rear axle, and got a plate to put more things on the front axle. |
