my (sportsman) build

[27cameron]

So I think i've read every ax 10 build on here since I joined.I also read tons of moa builds just learning. I don't comp but love designing and engineering parts (i'm an engineering student) . Taken tons of ideas from everyone on here. Love the suspension tuning aspect of this hobby. Its taken me 4 years too go from a stock rtr axial to what I have now. Just thought my build could help some that are new to the hobby to learn .

And some tuning

[27cameron]

what is the best way to post pictures?

[shizzz]

use photobucket or any other service like

[27cameron]

pictures of just the chassis and it ready to go

[27cameron]

i designed this chassis for a few reasons
1 narrow it up
2 better 4 link geomety (even though i have no idea what im doing)
3 most importantly adjustability
i have noticed a ton of well engineered chassis on here, but have noticed that people just put them together and do not tune them to work correctly. this is why i wanted to make something with pretty much endless adjustability. i will try to get some more specific pictures to show what i did, and most importantly WHY i did it.

Make a rear link plate like that, and a front link plate like that!

[27cameron]

It has a four link front and rear. some small company . I think new era .can't really see in this picture . they are very nice products.I don't think they make them any more.

Make them with more mounting options.

[27cameron]

Can anyone recommend some knuckle weights for vanquish zero Ackerman knuckles

[Colgout]

Vp is the only one who make knuckle weight for their own ax za knuckle. If you do the xr mod, there will be a few option there.

Does the Vp za knuckle has the 3 mounting holes like other Vp ax knuckle? If yes it wouldn't be too hard to make some mount plate and just get some brass washer for the weight.

[27cameron]

no 3 mounting holes. but looks like the blue monkey weights will work. dont have any verification on that though.

DLUK looks under berg section.

[27cameron]

yeah the dlux look nice, looked on the site couldnt find them, guess i just needed to look in the berg section. thanks.

[27cameron]

What its the smallest body that requires the least amount of trimming

[EverettY]

that is a few mounting holes...

[27cameron]

thats the point of the chassis adjustability.
