| I have the knuckles, and will put them on today. I am sure the steering link I made for the Axial knuckles will not work with the VP's, so I will make a new one that will tomorrow. I am also going to swap out the huge Mamba Max Pro for a Mamba Micro Pro. |

Well the VP zero ackerman knuckles worked as advertised, now I have awesome steering. I am going to have to make a new steering link because the VP knuckles are longer than the Axials and it rubs the shocks. It should be pretty easy to make a new link that does'nt rub, I will get one cut tomorrow. I went ahead and pulled the Mamba max pro because the Mamba micro pro should be here any day. I hope the MMP works well on 3s with the Holmes Revolver. |

The micro pro showed up today, damn it sure is "micro". I got it all wired up, programmed, and ready to go. Still can't decide on final mounting positions for everything but I think I have it figured out. Trying to keep it clean but effective can be a pain sometimes. I can't wait to see how the new setup does this weekend. | |

I am most definetly going to have to get some MIP driveshafts for this rig. The torque from the Revolver sheared off a driveshaft right at the metal drive shaft ring. I really like the micro pro its "micro" in size and works well. I like the way the steering works and will be sticking to this until the Gatekeeper setup is available. Next I am going to put Axial black springs all around and see how it does with a super soft spring setup.

The axial springs you mentioned what is the spring rate for them? I'm running losi golds all the way around on mine but need some a little softer

Try running the 1.04 all the way around ,I did not know they offered a spring with that spring rate mine are a 1.1 and I think the golds are to stiff unless your rig weighs over 5 pounds

Very nice rig Just one thing though, those aren't zero ackerman knuckles, they are the ordinary axial geometry ones! Kieren |

| Not trying to be mean but you are wrong. I bought them brand new and I know what they are. Plus I have zero ackerman in my steering now so I am not sure what you are thinking? |

What ever stock is on an AX10, 14t pinion and not sure about the spur. I think I am going to try going up a tooth or 2 on the pinion. The motor has an ass load of torque as it is and I would'nt mind trading some for more wheelspeed. It has plenty of wheelspeed as is but it can stand to have more to balance out the amazing torque of the Revolver motor. | |
