Free to Cheap COG and Driveshaft mods

[armycrawler101st]

I have 6 ounces on the front tires (each) and 4 ounces on the rear tires (each). Is that enough or too much?

[shizzz]

i would say enough for the rear and add around 1 and a half more in front to each wheel. at least i did it and it's more or less ok. but keep in mind that unless u move the battery that wheel weight won't be so effective on high angle uphills or inclines

Yes, that works with the rc's as well

Wait What? There's a T1E coming out for the AX10? How did I miss that? What about a Y-Town BJ version for the AX10? I need one of those too.

you can raise you pinion angle more by adding a spacer of your chioce off the parts tree.. add it to your top link on the rear end in front of the mount and screw it back on that will twist your rear end back and raise you drive shaft

There are a few Moonbuggies in the AX-10 section already. Not sure how long till they will be available to the rest of us. I asked a buddy that is a T1E team driver a week or so ago about these. He forwarded the message on to T1E and I haven't heard back yet. I would love to get one when they do come out.

I am running a 2S 2200 pack in the stock location with good results. I do have weight in teh from wheels and even added a little bit to the saddle pack mounts that I no longer use after going LiPo.



Mine is the gold truck

At least put your battery under the batt. tray and the electronics on top. The battery will stick out forward (more forward weight is good) and barely clear the trans. Its free and lowers COG a bit.

You should also add some spacers under your servo tray and raise your steerting tie rod to the top of your C's this will improve your approach angle
