I see you haven't stopped your habit of building a bad-ass rig with stock ring/pinion gears and axle shafts. |

Wow, this latest version of this RTR is awesome. Glad to finally see the new Axial/VP collaboration right out of the box. What is he price on this Axial/VP version and when is it going to be released? Can I preorder it from RPP? Sold, if you get sick of it. |

I did however find a new HD 36T/14T over drive gear set in my garage the other day so I tore the front axle apart and upgraded the gears in it. I also spoke with Brandon who said he was going to send me Axial's new HD 38T/13T gear set that has the hole pre-drilled in the pinion shaft so that will be going in the rear axle. The main reason I definitely want the HD ring/pinion gears in these axles is because from what Ty told me the Tekin ROC 412 has a ton of power especially on 3S to brake shit. And as I previously posted there is a reason I'm running the stock axle shafts/dog bones. Quote:

Honestly, most the time the HD gears not needed. Even on my Wraith at 11lbs and running a Pro4 on 3 and 4 cell, the ring gears lasted almost 2 years. They finally failed when the pinion bearings let go. Rig looks great, just reminds me how mad I am at Steve when looking at it! |

Jeff has been running stock ring and pinion in his SCX (which was an AX10) and he's not shredded his gears but I've got him on a Novak 55-turn too. | |

I have read debates for and against, and understand the performance differences. I was always, 8 degs of what? Now from that pix alone I finally have the full picture. Thank you for that pix. Be gentle. Awesome pix by the way. | |

Went out with Badger earlier to one of our local crawl spots and snapped a few photos. The truck is extremely smooth, has plenty of power on 3s and its basically just point and shoot. Onto the pics.... |

John, do you get max steering both left & right? Mine will go just about max one way & 2/3 to 3/4 the other. Using the same Axial horn as you, gonna switch to the long robitronics.
