First grab a Castle Creations BEC. And then watch Harley's budget build video series!

I would re-glue all the tires or switch out to 2.2 beadlocks...I had a RTR Wraith and the tires started coming off the rims after a week.

First things i did was move the battery upfront, make sure all the screws are tight especially the servo ones an for the servo mount s mine came loose, and replace the stock plastic steering linkage. Other than that have fun with it and replace what you break! I added a bec just incase. Also worth water proofing everything as you never know! Axial Racing - How to Waterproof your SCX10. You will soon find out that its an expensive hobby! |

The first time you run with another rig, your will instantly want more power! And yes move that battery up front. You will need to cut awayvsome of the interior, but you want the weight up front for climbing Quote:

when you replace the servo, go for one with at least 300oz of torque. the BEC will prevent brown outs or glitches in the electronics system due to the higher torque servo drawing more current, be it 2s or 3s JUST GET ONE! Last edited by allanon1965; 03-17-2014 at 07:31 PM. | |

When you pinch your front tire against a rock and then you turn the wheel and push the rock away that is servo power. Can't do that without a BEC!
