Axial ax10 14 inch wheelbase
 

Hi. I'm picking up an axial ax10 tomorrow from a friend that is artr minus battery, receiver and transmitter and I'd like to use it with a hard plastic Toyota tundra body I'm getting soon with a 14 inch wheelbase. Also getting a custom made frame that is 21 inches long to work with the overall length of 23 inches of the body including the bumpers.

Any suggestions as to what I should use for links to change to the 14 inch wheelbase and what to do for driveshafts would be appreciated. I have some 1/10 e revo end links left over from another project and can pick up another package to use for the links.

I like doing my own work piecing things together. Putting it together won't be a problem. Just curious to see if there are any parts I could use that I could pick up at my local hobby shop to put it together or if anyone has done a 14 inch wheelbase on an ax10 before and has any tips or suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks.

Forgot to post a pic of the body and frame. Have a set of aluminum 1.9 wheels and tires coming that I may use on it unless I decide to use the wheels and tires that are on it now instead.

I also have an scx10 if that would be easier to swap to the 14 inch wheelbase and I could put the scx10 honcho body on the ax10

I just talked to the seller of the frame and he said that the skid plate mounting holes are not drilled in the frame so I have the option of drilling the frame to use either the ax10 or scx10 transmission skidplate.

Ax10 and scx skid plates are interchangeable. I like using the scx skid personally. 14" wheelbase is easy to get with revo pushrods and jato rod ends.

Re: Axial ax10 14 inch wheelbase
 

Thanks for the reply. I have revo end links now. You mean stock 1/10 revo pushrods ? I'd need to find a part number. Jato rear ends ?

I had a 14.5 inch wheelbase on my 1/6 Jeep, I used 106mm on the rear and 102mm on the front, and used the plastic rod ends both long and short. I had the short rod ends on one end of the 106mm and the long rod ends on the other end, and the 102's used short on both ends. I just had to find the right combination that worked.

SCX-10 framerails with Wraith skid. Wraith skid is longer than the scx-10 skid.

You'll have to experiment. It might be easier on the wallet to pick up some allthread and brakeline and just make your own links

Thanks Mike :) I was wondering what length of links I could use for the length of wheelbase I need. How does the ax10 skid match up sizewise to the scx skid ? I have an scx honcho as well.

I'm picking up the ax10 tomorrow night and will compare parts between it and what I already have to see what I want to use where.

Pretty sure they're interchangeable, White Trash confirmed that above.

Oops. Missed that part. Thanks for the replies :)

Can't you use the Yeti/Bomber rear upper and lower links in the front and rear of your build? I've seen that done to a couple different trucks.

Re: Axial ax10 14 inch wheelbase
 

He didn't say, and I didn't ask, what he was using the truck for, crawling, trailing, or monster/mega build. I wouldn't think you'd use trailing arms for a crawler.

Re: Axial ax10 14 inch wheelbase
 

Why not? My three best performing crawlers have trailing arms.

I just picked up the ax10 tonight when I was on lunch at work. :) http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...e2b5ba48e3.jpg

^I'm going to use it as a crawler/trail truck. This ax10 has more upgrades than I originally thought on it :) has tamiya bruiser axles for starters. I can list the upgrades if anyone would like to know them. Cleaning up the body tonight and will do a bit of work on it tomorrow probably too :)

Sorry for the bad lighting in the first pics. These should be better. The lighting in the living room of my apartment sucks. Just the one light in the corner.

Those are tlt axles.

Re: Axial ax10 14 inch wheelbase
 

Thanks for clarifying. Friend I got it from said they were bruiser axles so was just going by what he said.
