Cog?

[lesannatrevor]

With cog being so important, hasn't Axial goofed on their battery placement? I mean, it's nearly worse than that of a wheely king. I want one of these rigs as bad as everyone else but that is a sticky point for me.

does not mean you have to keep it there, and who said we are all dying to have one? the axles maybe or the tranny.....but not a whole rig for me atleast

Look at the thread RCP posted, they put the pack on the front upper links. Who builds it or leaves it like they show anyways. This has been discussed multiple times, read through the threads you will see.

In fact, Axial has even stated that is a "noob" battery location - it's just there to make it easy. The directions apparently list numerous easy alternative locations, and some assistance/skill level required to make them work. All you have to do is a little home work.

Pretty sure Axial has a front axle batt. mount in the works.....

I see that RCP has one

They are trying to make the chassis as user friendly as they can. They are aiming the complete kit at the newb level. And since most guys who've been into other types of cars/trucks probably already have a stick pack or three laying around, it makes some sense. Or if a new guy hits up his/her lhs for a battery, what are they most likely to have on hand?
Stick packs...
