Stearing

Any tips or tricks to make the axial ax10 scorpion turn sharper?

Spend a few minutes searching and looking through the tips and tricks sticky thread and you'll have all of the answers you could ever want!

Yup. There's even a couple mods that you can do for free.

Super 300 axles, zero Akerman knuckles and a big strong servo there you go done deal.

Changing the screws on the C's from button-head to counter-sunk heads will allow for the knuckle to travel a few more MM's; adding some toe-out helps a bit too. Both can be done with minimal tools with what should be readily available using stock components. More than that, you're starting to head down the path of better CV's (SUPER 300's etc etc) and zero-ackerman knuckles I believe, $$$

Pardon the thread hijack, but anybody got any reccomendations on which servo? I put the steering upgrade kit on my RTC and took off the servo saver went to the included straight arm, now all the slop is in the servo. Are the ball bearing supported servos a lot better in this regard? Is there a power limit that the stock BEC can't really be pushed past? (ie, any servos known to draw just too much power?)




Yes, I realize eliminating the servo saver is not the wisest idea. But at least I'm pretty good about not whining that blowing my servo "wasn't my fault". (Newbs; don't do as I do.)

The stock BEC can't take all that much... if you're thinking of more than a ~100oz servo, do yourself a favor and get an external BEC, or upgrade to a Holmes Hobbies BRXL ESC (with probably the beefiest internal BEC on the market today)

I think you'll find that the servo saver is one of the first things to go on most comp ax10 builds.
