Default My Blackjack/ Axial build

Well I got my Axial AX-10 today thanks to RCP for the super fast shipping.

I have been testing a new design here in Sin City and we are calling it the Blackjack. It is a purpose built comp 2.2 rig. I have incorporated many aspects and ideas from all of the rigs I have owned and tested. I know that one rig is never perfect but it does have some cool features.

Some of you may have seen some of the pics I have posted and thank you for the questions and comments I have received. The rig you have seen was built of of the TLT and stealth platform. I will now do a build based on the Axial tranny and axles. When Axial announced the AX-10 I contacted RCP for specs and some insight so I could design this chassis.

Again a big thanks to RCP for the fast shipping and the design help.

Well I got my kit today and in my excitement I took the instructions to work to look them over and then forgot them at my office. Well I went forward with putting the axles and tranny together and then realized they have instructions on Axials web page. Well after auditing my work they were put together correctly. So far here is a pic of what I have going. I will keep the build going. I know I am going to have some fabrication to do because of some of the differences in mounting locations and such. I have to say that once the pieces are put together they are very stout. As far as I can tell it looks like Axial did their homework and have a great product going.

I hope you enjoy this build as much as I do. I will post some body off pics of the TLT platform so you can see what the target goal is.

I got the plates mounted to the skidplate today. The Axial tranny mounted up like it was meant to fit in it. Here are the pics of the chassis so far and the body off pics of the TLT platform.

I will be making up the links and such tonight if time permits. It appears they are the same length as the TLT platform.
