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.

Don't let your mouth write checks your driving can't cash.
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.

Losi golds are 1.4, Axial blacks are 1.04.

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

Yea thats what I am gonna try. The Axial blacks are fairly new maybe thats why you did not know about them.
Thanks for the advice.

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

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?

I think it just looks that way because he is running a bit of toe out...

Yea I am not sure why it looks like there is toe out in the pics, maybe it's just the angle I took the pics at? The toe is actually pretty close to 0.

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.
