After using the ¾” fuel tubing in the shocks, I get the same “just under 3” of belly clearance with a stock AX-10 on Lizards. Now it “climes” and “hills” like a spider. I have not added weight and Betty is mounted sky-high with a Blower! Thank you again Mr. Bender.  | |

I managed to get a little testing in today. It works a lot better then I ever thought a super lightweight 12" wheelbase rig could. I was able to make almost every line at Red Rocks that my 2.2 comp rig can do. Here's a few pics on the rocks. I shot a little video too, I'll try to get it posted tonight. |

Looks extremely capable… How much weight did you end up adding?

So how was the Black/25 with those packs? I just got done building some for mine+I am running a Black/25 combo, so I am curious. Also I am using my Spektrum DX-3, did you ever have issues with your Spektrum shutting down running the new packs, with the 25? I have not run mine yet exept with a 3cell lipo on the carpet but with this rig I didn't think it was necessary.

666: If its a lower voltage type shut down, I used to get them with my Brushless 4wd buggy and high power servo. I assume it could be the same, decent draw might cause the spektrum to loop out. Spektrum sells a capacitor I ended up having to use. Stores the juice for when amp draw is high and prevents the "shut down" due to power draw. They are cheap too...might be worth a shot.

I know all about that, been there done that, the fix is to get the drain away from the receiver via regulator or receiver pack. I was asking BENDER if he has had the issue with the weak BEC on the Mamba 25. In my experience the capacitor thing does nothing. |

Looks great in the video I'm keen to get my hands on a sw3. Could you supply all that is needed to convert a box stock AX10?

I finally got a chance to weigh this rig today, weighed in at just a tick over 3.6 pounds.  I swapped out to my Axial beadlocks and added some weight to the wheels, and it still only weighs a hair over 4.3 pounds. I am going to try and give it another test run soon. I did notice that I broke the upper link mount on the front axle too. It still works, but it is cracked. | |
