| Newbie From MD
Newbie to the RC Crawler arena... not to the 1:1 rock crawling. just ordered a AX10, and was wondering if there was anyone around MD that has one.? i will be posting build pics here in a few days as progress goes on. here is my new almost done 1:1 buggy and my old 1:1 jeep. http://www.myjunkinyourtrunk.com/gallery/TIMBERWOLF So anyway.... If your from MD or Surrounding, hit me up. Ive got a Huge Crawler course setup from my old Nylint 1:6 Jeep, and pleanty of room to make it bigger/harder. -A.J.

I drive a 2005 Toyota Tacoma, Dark blue, 33's, black rims. I had a 91 pickup with sas, duals, all that ****, but had to sell it before it was done. I went to Ice Breakers this year with Appalachian and Maryland Creepers, I towed Andrew Foremans Jeep down thier, I dunno if you know him. Anyway, the AX10 is sweet, my first crawler was a nylint also, it blows that thing away. If you wanna drive one before you get yours in, let me know. Ive got a Tekin Rebel 2, Integy 55t, Hitec 645mg, TQ3, radioshack 3300 battery mounted in the stock location(for now), Losi Rock Claws, and a Bushwacker body all hacked up. Im adding weight to the tires this week to see how much better that makes it, and figuring out the battery situation soon. |

Try the aluminum bead locks from DarsticSports on ebay...heavy and good quality, no need for weight now.

| WOW slow down turbo. I didn't see that you were doing a build thread. All I saw was the 1:1 talk and the location talk. Generally that would be put in chit chat. My apologies.

Yeah i was super stoked to get mine. They are awesome little machines. Are you gonna Do any mods along the way? I need to tear my axles down and tighten things up. The ring and pinion are alittle sloppy so I want to put a washer behind the pinions so its pushed closer to the ring. Also I need to put a little bit of folded up tin foil in the axle slots in the locker. There is a little play there too. | |
