|  True Axial Congratulations (fa1rch1ld's rig)
Rig# AX050005 Futaba 4PK Dual FXR's Br00d LE 45T Hitec HS-7950TH Casle BEC @ 7.4v MaxAmps 1100mah 11.1v White Rovers Pink rear springs dual stage piston white front springs dual stage piston Front .7 SLW 225 hubs, 5.5 Nova Foam, each front is 9.7oz Rear .7 SLW 225 hubs, Losi Pink Foams, no added weight. each rear is 5.4 oz Rig comes in right over 5lbs, light! Changed up all the links. Currently sitting right at the legal limit threw the whole suspension travel. I thought I had the Losi Dialed in. I love the way the rig would handle and could predict its moves...Also had to lean to drive with finesse Have about 5 hours of driving time on it. 10 packs at around 30 min each. So far the rig is amazing...I have completed crawls that have seemed impossible. Seems I just got lucky or something...No rear axle issues...Maybe its just my driving...This rig shouldn't even be comp legal....Its unfair out of the box. Made some changes that have helped with its climbing and break overs. Also a thanks to Harley.....Your 4PK Video saved me       |

did you make the links youre using...or buy them? do you have a measurement eye to eye for them? the stance looks great...love the wheels...just might have to pick up a set of those but im thinking in the 1" version

links upfront and added a spacer. Upper front are cut Down a bit to keep the clocked axle to a minimal. Quote:

Looks very cool....I can't wait to get mine, but I gotta wait till the end of the month for the stock levels to get under control! Glad the motors are working good for ya.....you are one of the few that have actually ran them, as most are still waiting on their kit! One owner says he is never gonna run them....going in a no run show truck, heh. Later EddieO |

locking a skinny white trash kid up and flauting a fat white girl infront of him....pure insanity. When they are not crawling butter smooth on the rocks, I mix the 4pk into 100% and with my 15T pinion front and rear, its instantly transformed into a jumping buggy...I don't need my slash anymore | |

some crazy climbs and break overs and not hit the skid or rear links. Big improvement from the Losi shafty. The Axial comes like that stock with the steering...Its pretty much setup out of the box...Just need to make personal changes. Quote:

Sweet, the kit seems to have hit all expectations and more, On my t1e chassis i have about 4inches of clearance and i just wanted to see if it was nearish to that, because my bully climbs dang good. But I'm really digging the XR10 now lol. Great build, and the way you painted the body looks trick. nice Lance |

There is no sign of a release date for the cutting brake. As of now the rig is a champ without it. |

Finally.....Destruction to the XR! I stopped counting packs ran in the XR after like 25/30+ packs?.....I was starting to get frustrated that I couldn't break the XR! 1st course of the night, got stuck in a monster hole, about half a foot from finishing the course with 10 seconds left....So i decided to give it full forward/reverse about 8 times....Cant describe the  punishment this car was taking...the bearings didn't want to keep up.... I'm glad I could give everyone a good laugh last night I'm lucky I have a 2nd XR sitting on my desk for parts.....The XR is  for the VP Trans.... Got some good updates on the XR will post up tonight... |
