Default Harley's XR10 #AX50062


I was one of the lucky ones who received my XR10 early thanks to the the guys at Axial. I spent last Sunday building the kit up box stock. I can't tell you all how impressed I am with the kit overall. I am going to try and add as much TECH to this thread as I am possible of doing. I have this knack for getting a little off topic....

I will be listing my suggest setups for all your electronics choices, both when using single or dual ESC's. I will list programming for radios such at the 4PK, 3PMx and 6EX as well as the setting I will be using in my ESC's.

My personal setup will be as follows for now.
  • Axial XR10
  • Futaba 4PK
  • Tekin FXR x 2
  • Futaba BLS152
  • Hot Bodies Rovers - White
  • Vanquish SSZ
  • Holmes Hobbies Torque Master Handwounds - 35 turn for now
  • Robotronics Servo horn
  • Castle Creations BEC
  • MaxAmps 3s 1100 Lipo
  • Freq E Skinz - Hardline Body

As always, a huge thank you to my sponsors and supporters. There is no way I would be able to do this without your help:
Axial Racing ~ Futaba ~ Vanquish Products ~ TCScrawlers.com ~ Holmeshobbies.com ~ MaxAmps ~ Freq E Dezigns

cant wait to see it. gotta question. if the crawlers are supposed to have lots of tourque (ie 55t motor and up) then why do so many people run 35t? I know the esc can crawl it along but why so much wheel speed? just for kicks or is there a crawling advantage to it?

For those of you that are not familiar with the advantages of running dual ESC's with the Futaba 4PK take a look at this video.

If you need any technical support help with your 4PK take a look at this thread, I am happy to anwser any questions you may have. I have full detailed programming walk-throughs as well as trouble shooting to most common issues.

Here we go the start of a three month 20 page project






















Just teasing sounds like a good plan I know it will be built right and well documented! I plan on switching to a 4PK after nats so any questions Redbarron can't answer will be forwarded to you so I guess we'll be talking a lot!

It's something that just comes with your driving style. These 35 turns very well may be more wheel speed then warranted but I have yet to say that on any crawler I have owned thus far

I built it last Sunday and video taped the whole build. I need to finish processing the video and get it uploaded. My big head is partially blocking some of it but it was definitely "well documented"

Right after I get done laying down some courses with it!

I have decided that this will most likely be my Nationals truck, I'll be there to put the pressure on Brandon. If it lets me down I'll go full on ROCK FORCE on it!
