Trevinator's AX10 RidgeCrest

[Salojac]

Wow. cool stuff.

Nice looking rig.

Let me be the first to guess that your Savox servo and small mah batteries don't play well together.

Be sure to let us know how the CVD's are holding up.

Agreed how are the c hubs for quality, I looked online and there cheap

[trevinator]

The Batteries last better than I thought they would.....~30min couch crawling!

The Voltage cap is the saving grace for the servo..... I have a Castle BEC coming to feed the servo better. These Batteries are small enough I could run two of them and still be 1/3 of the weight of a stick pack.

The CVDs actually feel pretty good, tight tolerances, seem to be a decent steel, and move nice and free all the way to lock. So we shall see.

nice xmas upgrades, hope everything works fine for you

[trevinator]

For the price of these pieces....you can't really go wrong.

It could be hit and miss, some parts may be fine and others may be weak, but unless you try them you will never know.

I'm gonna try some cheap stuff.....and see.

Hi, how did those rims change ur ofset. can u post a picture and mesaure. thinking of buying a set of those topcads.Nice build btw.

[Norton]

I have the same set but in red. As far as I can tell there the same offset as the stock wheels. Pretty much identical but made with aluminum. If you do decide the go with a set, be careful tightening the screws down. They strip very easily.

All in all, I am very satisfied.

Ok. i did the mistake of of buying the axial plastic beadlocks and the messes up the offset with +1cm on both sides :/.
Any one knws a set up of rims that does -1cm on each side.

[redneckrampage]

What chassis?

Factory XR10 wheels have a more positive offset. I ran them on my rig for a couple months. Worked out fine.

[trevinator]

The Top cad wheels are for a wraith/ridgecrest....correct offset. Older AX10 rims are way to wide imho.

Well I have gotten in a bunch more parts.........







So now I have all the Deans I needed for all my lipos. A cheap little chassis for fun, and bump my order up enough for a discount. Over/underdrive gears. A lipo for my slash that feels neglected lately. A nice clamping servo horn for the Savox. And a Duuuuuuude delrin link mount for the rear and an extra AR60 adapter for the front. I also got my Castle BEC and a Castle link.

Next up is to decide on a chassis and get on with the build!

Nice crawler, I'd like to see how that new chassis works out

[trevinator]

Well, a whole lot of things changed....and changed again.....and again.....with no pics......

But here are some more pics of my new chassis and build!

Under Ground Crawler Chassis, Fastback II

[trig n tahoe]

did you make the batt. mount?, Looks real sweet, how is the new chassis? How the asia tees stuff holding up?

[trevinator]

The AsiaTees stuff is still good.....

Yes, I made the Servo/Battery/Upperlink mount. To support it on more than the top two holes I used a Duuuude link mount adapter.

This chassis is Amazing! I highly recomend it!

How are the wheels holding up looking for a cheap set of wheels for my Wraith.

[trevinator]

I like the wheels a lot. I am thinking they are a very good value! Just don't over tighten the beadlocks!
