|  AZrcdriver's gone MOA
Well I gave in to the pressure and ordered parts for my first MOA. I have had great luck with my LCC but it was time to try something else. Here is the parts list ordered so far: Axial Axial XR 10 AX30434 XR10 Stage 3 Aluminum Hi-Clearance Links Kit AX30223 Spring 14x70mm 1.04 lbs/in - Black AX30569 Pinion 48P 14T – Steel AX30571 Pinion 48P 13T – Steel Vanquish Vanquish Products XR-10 Motor Plates VP DH ProComp Hex Spacers 460 VP DH ProComp Hex Spacers 585 VP XR-10 Incision Steering Knuckles Silver VP XR-10 Incision Chubs Silver VP XR-10 Incision Lockouts Silver Misc. 2- Castle Mamba Micro Pros 2- Team Integy V11 35t Professional Rock Crawler Motor Hobbico CS-170 Servo (until I upgrade to bigger) Spektrum SR300 3-Channel DSM Sport Surface Receiver wantAsummit Dual ESC adapter (was first thing ordered) SS solid steering arm from Chaotic Crawlers Still have a few things to get yet and my motors are my starter motors to learn with before I upgrade to something like Broods. I have my VP DH's and will most likely order a couple pair of SLW's to fit on the rear and my Boss Claws of course. I am also going to start with the stock chassis for now but may go bodiless with the V4 from y-town. More to come... |

Nice parts list. You can't go wrong with a MOA rig.  |

That's a nice laundry list, I think you're going to like it. I'd suggest running Losi golds. They are softer than the axial blacks, even though the numbers say otherwise.

I have the Golds on my Comp Crawler right now so I can always swap them around a bit but I thought I would try the Axial based on the numbers they listed. | |

Ok, I got a little behind on my updates. Here is most of the parts that I picked up on Friday. It is one quick way to lighten a bank account.  And here is part of the progress made so far.  |

So how are you guys figuring your spring rate info?? You are saying the losi gold springs are softer even though the rate is higher than the Axial blacks? What did you use to determine this? Just curious... |

I think out of the pack they are the same but broken in I think the golds are softer and I have heard from others that agree. Here is a little test I did....then Thread jack OFF  | |

Ok, so after a delay for the game here is where it sits right now. I pulled my VP DH's off my LCC and did a quick hub change. I still have no idea where I want to start for setup yet.   |

No, I kind of slowed down a bit trying to figure out the electronics layout. Thanks to Smokey I made a trip at lunch for wire loom to make it all look nice I hope. Once I get it figured out and go over to use Burgie's soldering iron to start getting it all connected up. I also have no idea what to paint it yet... I was shooting to have it done for Sunday but I'm not sure. |

No, new pics yet maybe tonight. I programmed to BEC and Mamba Micro Pros and I got started on putting the wiring together. I tried to get a start on body paint but I was having spray issues, I think my little compressor may be dying out. Due to time issues the body won't be anything fancy. Also...note to self, motors are easier to solder when not mounted on finished roller. |

Ok, got it done...(for now) anyways. Took a bit more than I thought for the last bit. The wiring is not set perfect as I may be changing chassis soon so I didn't get it 100% and I need to shorten a few wires up. Here it as of today...ready to run in the morning for our club comp (I think).    Now to figure out weight and setup changes. A quick trip to the scales and it's at 6.38 lbs right now, seems a bit heavy compared to others. (rig, battery, body) |
