Re: Axial XR10 Tips & Tricks Hey guys quick question I recently bought novaks "the dog" unit and a traxxas 4 ch remote with a 3 position switch. Will this work for what im trying to do? Local hobby shop already got me to buy another esc and now theyre saying this remote wpnt work. Just checking to see if it's true because it makes no sense to me.... thanks in advance! |
Re: Axial XR10 Tips & Tricks WOW how these comp rigs have changed...bought my kit in Dec. 2011, and went through tons of changes in one year....fun to see all the early posts of the stock chassis and all the mods to try to make the chassis work better. Oh and the 1300-1600mah battery, lol soo cool. I use my losi 1350's ($30ea) for my XJ SCX-10 lol |
Re: Axial XR10 Tips & Tricks Have two alternatives for XR10 tires for a build im doing. Witch one is best suited? RC4WD X-lock or Losi boss claws. |
Re: Axial XR10 Tips & Tricks Boss Claws |
Re: Axial XR10 Tips & Tricks When I have full steering the tires rubs the springs. Is that a common problem? and is there a fast fix for it? Or should I just turn down the steering rate? |

Re: Axial XR10 Tips & Tricks I took my stock plastic AX10 shocks, and put them on my XR. They are more than half as light as the stock shocks. I blew one crawling and used red locktight on them after with no problems. They are significantly light enough for serious consideration. If you use your melon you can make them work with no issues. I have used the springs from push button pens to replace my shock coils since the ax10 had come out. Depending on the pen, you can find and tune the softness. They are also skinny, just slipping over the rod, so run on sprung set up you will be hard pressed to find rubbing or the other clearance problems that you find with regular coil springs. They are also slim enough to use inside the shock for droop set ups. Plus weight savings is a plus as always. I make my own high clearance links with the use of my butane torch and the closed and of a wrench for bending. The environmentally conscious person I am, I no longer use shock oils. I use veggie oils like olive oil inside my shocks. You can experiment with environmentally safe cooking oils and dampers to find the weight and reaction your looking for. The upper rear links that are stupid and flimsy can be directly replaced by taking the lower rear links out of their sheath and using them. Add on a slightly longer rod end. Bam. A good way to gauge the traction capabilities for tire comparison is to use fish/hanger scale, preferably digital with a reading for grams. Tie it to a solid object and find some desired mediums (rock, wood, grip tape, inclines, etc) to run on. Put the tires to the test. Make sure to flip directionals for a try in both directions. Keep your notes. Your findings may surprise you and change your mind on your current favourites. I have a lot of tricks I use. Cant remember them all but there are those for now. Happy crawlinz. PS. here's a tip; dig on barnacles is no so good hmm? ~ Salty |

If you are using a skinny plastic shocks for comps, build two or three sets; sprung, droop, semi-droop. Contact cement or super glue the caps on. |
