If the motors are mounted on the transmission ....no . The driveshafts should be pointed up at the axles at angles like cars and trucks. Also. It should be a 1 motor vehicle.

It has two motors ill take pictures tommorrow . You know how a vechile is when you have to long of a drive shaft the pitch was way wrong. I fixed that but I want get my hook on straight it sets crooked ( cock eyed) . This is my first rc I had to work on. Where can I get some good shafts? Oh the motors are 12t 550 traxxas ,are them any count would like a.little speed .

Decent starter motor, mip metal drive shafts if you only want to buy one set, they are pretty bullet proof

Man fix your typos. Maybe people want to reply but like me, don't know what the heck you're asking lol.

To straighten the driveshaft angle, lengthen your upper links by a few millimeters. Or shorten your lower links by a few.

It SOUNDS like you have an emaxx tranny/motors instead of axial tranny/motor.

Look up images on Google for scx10 transmission and compare the pics with your rig to see if it's a stock tranny or an emaxx swap.

Axial wraith driveshafts are nice and fairly inexpensive. But with dual motors you better get used to breaking lots of driveshafts. Or learn to drive with a light throttle finger.

What should I do about the angle pitch I moved my rear axel . As soon as I can find them metal wish bone looking things I will move front axel foward. What are good motors for wheel speed an torque?

The think I am calling a wish bone is the upper link. I keep snapping that think front an rear. My axels are wanting to twist bad. Would I be better off to a leaf spring set up?

No. That would be sooooooooo much stress on the leafs with the 2 12t's in that thing. Axial has a set of aluminum links, or you could make your own with 8/32 threaded rod, revo rod ends and 1/4" aluminum tubing (brake line)

Do they make a upgraded upper line for these rigs? I beleive I am going with punisher shafts . What do I need to measure before ordering?

do your wallet a favor. take one of the motors off. there's a reason the scx-10 comes stock with ONE motor. If you want dual motor, wheelie popping, stump pulling torque, get a monster truck. that's what they're built for. if you keep dual motors and a heavy throttle finger you better be prepared to upgrade EVERY piece of drivetrain on your rig. as soon as you upgrade your driveshafts, they will no longer be the weakest link, and your tranny output gear will break. as soon as up upgrade that, your axle front dog-bones will break. as soon as you upgrade those.............. you see where i'm going.

ditch one of the motors and you'll be amazed at how much LESS things you'll break. 2 motors is overkill in a scaler.
