I could mount them in the chassis, but I want to keep the cg out of the frame area.

Decisions... Decisions...

Yeah, that's the one downfall that I thought of as well.
I can't stand wires either.

I may consider mounting them where the battery is and mounting the battery up top, assuming the items will fit.

I ran my electronics on the rear axle once. Didn't like it, don't recommend it. Gobs of wiring and no real protection. Plus I had to add even more weight to the front to keep it balanced.

There is a ton of room between the links and the driveshaft to put whatever you want.

another ax10 build, it's a 2.2 esse

Looking great Will! I'm interested to see what steering set-up you design.

These are right at 1" wide. I was going to dye them first but got excited.

EverettY · 12-03-2012, 09:46 PM

You still going to dye them? The would look killer in red

RcBro · 12-03-2012, 09:48 PM

Not sure how well the heat will effect the ca?

They do make some killer krylons nowadays. Considering that

Heat kills CA. They'll fall apart.

RcBro · 12-03-2012, 10:13 PM

Yes sir, I'll see what crazy ideas me and some rattle cans come up with.

If I don't like it, I'm another $8 to a new set lol

If you do another set, dye the pieces before gluing them. I've done it before and it worked like a charm.

RcBro · 12-10-2012, 08:54 PM

Yes, I've done it as well. Just didn't want to wait to see how it turned out.

Instead I have these coming
