My Build... Suggestions? So, had my RTC for about 2 weeks now. Made some adjustments, modifications, and upgraded some things. Just wanting some input, good or bad. I read all of the stickies and got bored on 24 hour guard shift and read back to 2006 on the AX-10 threads. This is what I came up with so far. Swapped the Pro-Line Hammers for some Chisels. Then, I flipped and mirrored the tranny to counter torque-twist. http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...DSCN1745-1.jpg Next, I waterproofed the electronics (all stock). Servo tear-down http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCN1751.jpg ESC, Radio, and Servo disassembled http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCN1752.jpg Reassembled with silicone waterproofing done http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCN1753.jpg Found a burr on this shock valve during rebuild of all shocks. It was causing binding. I guess someone was a little too lazy when they built them. http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...DSCN1747-1.jpg Fully assembled, with electronics mounted. I even used spare rod-ends and leftover hardware to mount the color pack links, instead of spending $20 on the hardware upgrade kit. http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCN1754.jpg Passes balance test http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCN1756.jpg Flex-shot http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCN1755.jpg Trimmed the body http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCN1757.jpg No body clipping on full flex http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSCN1758.jpg Any suggestions would be appreciated. I plan on upgrading parts as they break. The only thing I need to do is round up some hardware for the upper links and the steering links. Plastic is flexing a bit too much for my taste. |
If you are going to upgrade the upper links i would upgrade to 4-links at the same time. |
Looks like you're making good progress. I would suggest ditching the servo saver and limiting your shocks a bit. Too much articulation can be a bad thing... about 5" or so seems to work best. Bender wrote up a pretty good article on the pros and cons of atriculation - I'll see if I can find it for ya. |
x2 on the servo saver, busted mine after about 10 minutes use. There should be a standard arm in the parts pack. |

How come it looks like the front axle is rolled down in the front? The second to last picture. |
