was wondering if somone could point me in the right direction as to what will fit and what is good in quality i got the scx10 couple days ago and now im addicted and want to hop up just want little more metal on it and little more flex anyone web sites and what will fit been looking online for hours lol just confusing me of all the products out there

by the way u picked a great hobby

for your flex issue the best thing to do is add wheel weights to the rim inside the tire and foams and take that little rubber piece off the shock shaft also if you are having problems going up hill mount the battery lower and farther forward on the chassis

for the parts i chose ckrc crawlers for online parts and i go down to my local amain hobbies for little rod ends and metal links and such

also there is links on axials site i believe but if u are having problems finding what u want or any question really about your scx10 email one of the axial reps they are real nice and helpfull

Was also wondering when I try to crawl with tires turned to get good positioning and then straiten out it jumps and when I get to the down side of rock it just rolls down te rock is this just stock controller or am I a rookie lol also wondering about what motor is the best for low speed power or is stock fine for crawling/climbing

a 55t motor will give you a less speed and a little more torque.

I am new to the hobby also and I also just bought a SCX10 kit. I installed a Novak 55T with a Rooster crawler ESC. So far it seems to work well but I haven't really had it on the rocks yet. I did swap out the pinion for a 21 tooth and it gave me more wheel speed but I haven't had it out of the garage since so I don't know how much torq I lost. This hobby is like having a drug addiction and the hard part is keeping the wife from knowing how much I spend.

ya addictive is a understatment for this stuff lol seeing everyone posting pics of there scalers makes me want to get more lol parts im shooting for right now is switching to alum links and steering parts and shocks. it seems like its not tall enuff and hangs up alot on stuff anyone els having this problem. remember i am new so maybe just havent mastered the art of picking better lines but seems like if it was just a bit taller it would be much better. also any info on better bumpers where to get or how to make cause stock seems to be hampering my approach on rocks and other obstacles thanks for info givin so far been big help
