|  New AX10 owner needs some tips please
I just bought the AX10 ARTR version (first 1/10 crawler) and have a question about it. I have added 1/2 lb to each front wheel and 1/4 lb to each back but other than that she is fully stock at this point. She is very very stiff on the suspension which is stopping it from articulating well at all. I was wondering what methods are good for loosening her up so she can work properly. Any other tips are welcome as well  |

I'd probably lighten up those tire weights a bit, 6 oz per front and nothing in the ears is how I ran mine. Sounds like you could use some Losi Gray and gold springs, I learned that any articulation beyond the height of the tires your running is unnecessary. Check out these build threads by BENDER, he's been a huge help to many getting started, great AX-10 information.

Here are some good threads that let you look at progression-some with pics some with discussion (Bender's are reccomendations as well). The FAQ thread is great but as a noob it sucked reading through it. K.O.M's Newbie Comp Build This one is great. Order of Mods How do I get more steering AX10 Torque Twist |

Thank you very much for the great leads guys The spring change did wonders for me. Thank you Stormin2u for that one  I have not had enough time to read through all those threads yet but I am learning a ton already from the ones I have read. I am hoping to have enough time this weekend to do a few other little mods to her and some tuning of the weight and foams. |
