AX10 Upgrade Questions.

[SLOB]

I just completed the upgrade on the home page for my AX10. Well, kind of. I did not do the Traxxas axle upgrade, and tires. Everything else was done and it runs great. Even with my old E-Maxx battery sitting up on top of the mounting plate. I only put two of the bent links on (in the rear). Do I need to put two on the front or is it just personal preference? Also, I read somewhere in a thread when someone saw a members picture of his AX10 he said that the motor/transmission was mounted on backwards. I am wondering if this was also an issue that I need to fix, as of right now the truck runs great. Thanks for some info.


Turn your head to the right to view.

I ran both bent links .. you can flip the direction of your rig and reverse throttle on transmitter. just torque difference. normal way, left rear shock will move because of the torque

some of my mods progress are here

I'd maybe stick about a half inch of fuel tubing on the shock shafts to limit the articulation. A little less floppy, and it might reduce the axle steer a bit more. Just a thought.

X2 That's what I have in mine is 1/2". Articulation isn't everything.

the direction of the transmission makes no difference

i've had it both ways, currently i have it "backwards" (spur facing front) so i can put a large zip tie on the driveshaft, i kept snapping small ones

Whats the large zip tie for????
