This is a good idea but I really think you need to show what these upgrades equate to on the trail or rocks. Simply putting new mods on each week is pretty much the same thing you have already done in your stickies that you can just read....

They are explained as to why each thing is done in the videos.

Is the correct MIP drive shaft set for the ax10 MIP part number 08101? The link doesn't work right

I know you explain them but video footage actually showing the increased performance would be a good idea. Either way good job!

Actually being able to show differences in video is nearly impossible . I can show driveshafts not breaking and such but actually seeing the difference from before and after adding new knuckles or something is not going to be a very compelling argument.

Harley what brand Servo Horn would you recommend since you wasn't happy with the golden Horizons one?

Granted I'm not Harley, I think Racer's Edge and Robotronic are both great.

Everything I'm doing is what I consider to be a good idea for me.



It would be very hard to do a side by side. A stockish wraith with a good servo and steering is very capable.

Harleys rig will be more capable but more importantly quite a lot more durable.

Here is some footage from running yesterday.

These new tires are pretty stiff and the lugs are large, most people have already acknowledged that. They didn't do too bad on the rocks but these aren't going to be making a big showing in the comp scene any time soon. I would still like to try the sticky versions of these though, just to see how they do.

Its always a difference. I was driving 2 of the trucks though. I had the Hit and Run on my 4PK and the PSC on my 4PL. So while they may not be the same lines always, it was similar style of driving trying to find traction.

IF that makes any sense. Also these are very different trucks, so in the end... it's just toy trucks on rocks
