| Axial SCX10ii RTR Weak Points and Suggestions
Hey everyone. Newbie here. I even noobed up my screen name which was supposed to be Pwny Danza but I got autocorrects to Pant Danza. Can any mod fix? If not then Pant it is. Anyhow. I’m fairly new to RC, I have a brushed rustler, a yeti, and just recently picked up the SX10ii rtr Cherokee. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on this forum but I have a few questions. 1.) what are the biggest weak points, as in likely to break or cause damage elsewhere, for the scx10ii? 2.) the stock all terrain tires are leaving a lot to be desired. What’s a good replacement? Any tires that fit on the stock axial rims? I don’t want to spend a ton of money on new tires and wheels, just looking for some improvement over stock. 3.) the stock Servo seems pretty weak. Good options here that are less than $100? 4.) Best Bang for buck upgrades? Wheel weights? Battery/Servo relocation? |

Battery/servo relocation is not necessary at all. If you have the original RTR (AKA not the new JK), then put steel gears in your transmission. I personally prefer the Incision stainless link kit to get a bit more weight down low (plus the stock links aren't that great anyways, especially on the RTR). Other choice is obviously some beadlock wheels to pair with your new tires. SSD makes some affordable options that mount well. What don't you like about your truck? Upgrade that. | ||||

All based on my experience with my RTR. Weak points: 1: Plastic servo horn, many aluminum options out there 2. Rod ends for the links wore out fast, I got the Incision stainless link set 3.Stock trans gears stripped, many steel options out there. 4. Stock servo lasted a while but died on a fall down a huge cliff, I replaced it with a Savox 1231 but there's a lot of options out there The stock tires weren't terrible for me but I ended up with Rock Beasts on SSD steel beadlocks after running the stockers for a while. I would take the stock tires with good foams and better wheels vs stock wheels with better tires glued on them. The SSD steel beadlocks are priced fairly decent though and are nice wheels. Next was bumpers, new body, SSD Pro 44 axle housings, aluminum transmission case, and a Hobbywing 1080 ESC with a cheap Axial 27t motor. Last edited by fortyeightjake; 12-11-2017 at 01:03 PM. |

Interesting perspective on the wheels. I’ll keep that in mind! I have the Cherokee so it sounds like steel gears in the transmission will be needed. Great info! Thank you two for the responses. |

I picked up a set of hyrax tires and the pro line bead locks toda. Big improvement over stock. Thanks for the suggestion!

Tuck the front bumper in and trim the little tabs off. Dremel the rear mount (separate piece that attaches to the metal rails) to make it slide into the chassis. Problem with extraneous hang-ups solved! |

I agree with the first reply, run it for awhile and see what's what. The stock tires will break in and soften up, if you want a more aggressive tire, than I like Pitbull Rock Beasts or Pro-line TSL Swampers. The cherokee does not have metal trans gears, so that would be my first upgrade. Run the stock servo till it quits, then replace it.
