| New chassis need help
Hello everybody. I have a ax10 RTC and after some option, i fund the horrible flex of the stock chassis. Is there someone who once compared the attachment points(links and shocks) between the ax10 RTC chassis and the competition chassis and tuber? If yes, tell me what is the differences. I want to make a frame and I need to know the pattern(position) of attachment points on the chassis. I will use stock links. Thank you for your help. PS sorry for my english, i just speak french. |

search! and look around there is a ton of info on aftermarket chassis. custom chassis will need custom links because position and geometry will be different. dont expect bolt up. |

sure, i could have used my stock links on my new chassis and then it would have been 13.5 inches long, and pinion angles would be out of wack any quality chassis is gonna need new length links, underground, Bender swx, gatekeeper, the list can go on. very few might work. but its counter productive if the geometry's are the same. take MY advice and look at all the good builds on here they make custom links and mods to get it right.

The stock chassis has plenty of flex, your problem lines in your 3-link and your shocks.

| color kit?
if a color kit is an upgrade your not looking at this correctly, it is more about the function than looks Start by deciding what kind of rig yoru building if it is for comping garab a beer and read the rules they are very specific on wheel base, etc. If it is a backyard crawler, search tuber and you will find some very cool ones, if your more about look than function consider a scaler, but careful going that route there are so many KICK A$$ builds newbs like us stick out like sore thumbs!!!!! |

For your information, on stock RTC link, it's impossible to put 4 link. Then to upgrade to 4 link setup you need some links. In the color kit you have all link need to put 4 link setup. Thanks. |
