Default Unboxingexperience7's first build

I always wanted to buy an Axial XR10, however I missed the right point in time as the kit is now discontinued. So I decided to order spare and tuning parts and start from scratch. It's my first build, so I don't expect it to be perfect.

Axles:
VP Gear plate
VP Gear case
RC4WD gears
Nordic Crawler Designs steering rod and carbon parts
Golden Horizons Aluminum Steering Knuckles
Cappu Engineering Aluminum C Hub Carrier
Axial XR10 spare parts

I started with the front axle, here are some pics of the assembly







and finally here it is



In order to save some money I ve decided to go for the cheap Towerpro servo. the Motor is a Holmes Hobbies TorqueMaster Expert 540. I ve also made a video of the assembly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naaedEBD1Hs

Regarding the ESC I m considering the XYS-BL20A RC ESC 20A, which is small and lightweight. However, it is not supposed to work with 540 motors. As it is very cheap, I gave it a try and I think it will work out for a novice driver:

looking good so far! although... idk how the esc will do... I used 2 cheapo dynamite tazer 15t escs.... the were sending 35 amps supposebly... my motors kept bogging out.... so I switched to b1r's.... their tekin, and I believe 60 amps... since then I haven't had any issues of it bogging out! keep up the good work! and tell me how the esc does when its actually crawling! (:

regarding the servo I m not sure if it will work out, but it was very cheap (5$). Also the Turnigy UBEC may be too weak.

I think your c-hubs are the wrong way around (too much camber).

The chubs are right. The knuckles need switched from side to side. They are upside down.
