Didn't even know about these.. :roll: Thanks for the tip Ryan!! "thumbsup" Gonna do that next time!

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

just ordered up the kit and the tools. I saw this info a long time ago."thumbsup"

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Yesterday, I had enough time to get this thing going.

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1207.JPG
All electronics are working perfectly. No smoke what so ever. :flipoff:I really had to narrow down the EPA's from the TX, cause the motors are really making this thing fly. :shock:

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1206.JPG
It's looking much better at the moment than my pro. :lmao: I only have to clean those receiver wires together, so they will all be in the same spot, without moving too much. Other than that, it's ready to go. "thumbsup"

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1242.JPG
Adding a little bit more blue before it's ready. "thumbsup"

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1243.JPG
It's all there now. Except for soldering the batteries. :mrgreen:

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1244.JPG
Now we'll just have to continue with Sofi's shafty build next.

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Smurfette is finally done! I was able to try it today and this time with my own electronics :lmao:But because of the snow I had to forget the rocks and concentrate my driving on the carage floor... Even though the floor was a bit slippery I could still feel the power of smurfette. Yeah, it flies. Can't wait to get to the rocks! "thumbsup"

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Great looking rig, Sofi!! Hope you will hold on crawling for a long time!!!

...good choice on the motors - you will love these small parts:mrgreen:

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Beautiful model. Congratulations. Haha! Awesome build. Love the attention to detail on even the wiring. Nice job. Keep us posted!

Smurfette is ready to hit the rocks first time in 2015.

http://pnc.pp.fi/RC/CRAWL/RFOT%27s%2...s/RFOTS_C1.jpg
At RFOT's Crawl Cup #1/12 Arctic Special tomorrow! :mrgreen:

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Good luck Samu and Sofi......take some video please [emoji41]

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Thanks, you can count on it! "thumbsup"

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Sofi started her season in Arctic Special with pro class as well.

The only thing, that would've made the weather perfect would have been the sun. But it was awesome nevertheless. 8)

Driving Smurfette first time with it's own electronics and the Holmes motors. "thumbsup"

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010041.JPG
Terrain was extreme. Icy and snowy rocks. :mrgreen:

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/gAywHwIEw8Y?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Sofi on course three. The best course for her all day. Only two reverses. "thumbsup"

http://paron.pp.fi/TULOKSET/Crawling...n%20Keidas.jpg
On first three courses the driving was really good, but on fourth course Sofi didn't make it to the finishing line. Too bad, it would have been close fight with Saku. :mrgreen:

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010187.JPG
Third place for Smurfette. Good thing was, that the rig is working great. There's nothing that we have to change before the next comp in February. "thumbsup"

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/P1010190.JPG
It was already dark when we finished the comp. But awesome day with some top drivers. Good way to start the season! "thumbsup"

Next time Smurfette will be in action on February 21st at indoor comp in Lahti, Finland. "thumbsup" Already waiting for that of course.

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

It was the first comp for smurfette with my own electronics. Weather conditions were interesting. I can say that I had some good and some bad performances. Smurfette is amazingly good car to drive because everything works perfectly. I noticed that those motors have a lot of power. Brilliant motors! "thumbsup"

Car went smoothly on the snow thanks to the great voodoos! I had few stupid gates but a lot of training with smurfette! All in all it was a fun race. After this artic special I'm really looking forward to our INDOOR competition :lmao:

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

yay for smurfette

show the guys how it is supposed to be done
with class and a smile

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Great stuff, keep it up!!

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Snow comp...nuts.:shock:

J

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Fixed it for ya. "thumbsup"

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Good to see this rig still alive and kickin. Glad it went into the hands of a very capable driver"thumbsup""thumbsup"

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

I'm glad you like the motor, I'm particularly fond of the Puller 400s in little shafties. There is plenty of room to go slower if you ever want less power ;-)

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

after seeing how well voodoos work in the snow im buying a few sets to cutnshut onto the bottoms of my sneakers for walking around here in new england winters.....:flipoff:

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Not a bad idea:mrgreen:

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette

Nothing much to do before next weekends indoor competition.

New shock oils. 40wt to all four.

RTR weight before the comp.

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0009.JPG
Will definately be interesting how Sofi will manage indoors. We have a record in participation coming to saturdays comp. Ten starters in pro class! "thumbsup"

http://pnc.pp.fi/RC/CRAWL/RFOT%27s%2...ainos/6402.jpg
The organizing team has worked hard for making best terrain as possible for this comp.

Personally I'm waiting for top 6-8 result with this rig for Sofi. Lets see. Pics and video will follow of course. "thumbsup"

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Yet another comp coming with this car tomorrow. Awesome company and talented drivers in the bunker! Smurfette has been working amazingly but let's see how it works in the indoor comp. "thumbsup"

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Good luck Mrs. Softy"thumbsup"

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Get em Sofi!

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Indoor comp in the Bunker is now behind. Let's see some footage! "thumbsup"

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Pictures/RFO...2/P1010004.JPG
Some new elements for this years competition in the Bunker. Guys have made these really cool! 8)

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Pictures/RFO...2/P1010229.JPG
Smurfette on first course makin them pullers do a hymn. "thumbsup"

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Pictures/RFO...2/P1010232.JPG
Rig was working flawless the whole day. Not a single problem.

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Pictures/RFO...2/P1010263.JPG
Pro class winner LaaLaa looks the course through before Sofi gets on her way.

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Pictures/RFO...2/P1010262.JPG
Sofi drove the first course really well. Rest of the courses DNF, but they surely were tough.

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Pictures/RFO...2/P1010266.JPG
You would have to get perfect lines to these gates, if you don't wanna screw them up. Outdoors it's different. You have tons of room to go and get another line most of the time.

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Pictures/RFO...2/P1010317.JPG
I was pleased to see, that Sofi drove so well indoors. This will be a good season! "thumbsup"

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jWAqzFFkUhI?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Here is the first course on video. Second best score in this one! Really good driving! "thumbsup""thumbsup"

http://paron.pp.fi/TULOKSET/Crawling...i%20Bunker.jpg
Sixth spot in eleven driver field. That's really respective effort by Sofi. Let's keep it up in the future too! ;-)

There's another five weeks to the next comp, but in the mean time, I think we will have to do some training, if the weather lets us. We'll see. Rig is in perfect shape, would be foolish to start messing around the setup now.

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Bunker race behind! I'm really pleased about my driving. Smurfette works still extremely well so I know that I could have done even better result with it. Tracks were quite difficult. As Samu said there is no room for getting another line to the gates. You have to be extremely exact to get the lines right. But it was good that tracks were difficult because they were the same to all. Of course my pullers helped a lot! Those motors keep surprising me "thumbsup" Excellent day with great company! Next time some outdoor racing and hopefully even better results!8)

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Nice driving Sofi!!! Keep up the good work and you'll be catching up to your brothers in no time!

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

looks like a great indoor course,,,
I would LOVE to have a cellar like that to train in during the winter season,,,the winter is looooooong here far north in Norway,,
I would guess kinda like a winter in Finnland...
The SUDU looks as great as ever also.. Pullers you say,,, 400 or 500???
I am thinking about bying a pair off 400 pullers but I wanna know first that they packs alot off power and have some low speed control...

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Yes, winter is one big pain in the ass for the Nordic coutries....

That's not SuDu chassis, this is CCC Mutt. "thumbsup" And the motors are HH 400 33T Pullers. What I've sawn, those give enough low speed control and torque and still manages to give one hell of a burst when you need it.

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

True words, Samu. That's exactly the reason why i love my HH 400 puller's so much"thumbsup"


Great job Mrs. Softy!! I looked all videos i could found, but your runs looked best:mrgreen:

It will be interesting to see how your performance will growing up the next time. I think it's good for our sport to have lady's on board"thumbsup"

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Okay,,, then it probably will be the puller 400 for me,,
but I asked Eddie O from team brood what motors he would recomend for me with the superlites axels from dlux and HH BR mini dual esc with the bec inclusive...
And he said that conflux with 0.2o thick can and quad magnets and a HHk ST armature and I wanted 30T...
This was the lightest and most powerfull he had,,
his stubby is out off order and the same for SISU,,The next best thing was his NEXUS...
I guess I have to make up my mind pretty quick,,,I just want to check with some more guys first what they/you think....

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

okay,,,the ccc mutt!!!
I thought it looked kinda strange with the dobble set`s off holes in the front off the chassis where you mount the shocks...
It is pretty similar to the SUDU chassis...

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

To the amateur eye?

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

In this video the gates looks very close together,so it´s most very difficult to drive.And that´s the reason why most people prefer big rocks and not little stones or small indoor locations.But the run from Sofi looks very good to me "thumbsup"

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

yeah,,, I guess I am a amateur,,,
but you cant deny those are pretty mutch the same....
even with the chassises side by side like this it is hard to see the difference,,
the only thing is that the mutt has some more holes in the front to mount the shocks at...
I have a SUDU myself so I am a little embarassed..... he he he.:oops::oops:

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

and the top off the cab is also more flat on the mutt than on the sudu...
MY BAD!!!

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Sofi has been incredibly busy with school after the last comp. I drove couple of batteries and tried to see if it needs anything.

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0227.JPG
I figured out that it'll need a bit extra weight in the front.

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0228.JPG
Old weight setup.

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0229.JPG
New one. One half brass circle more each side. Should be better in steep climbs. "thumbsup" Otherwise the rig is working like it should. 8)

http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...5/IMG_0230.JPG
She's ready to kick some more butt! :flipoff:

http://pnc.pp.fi/RC/CRAWL/RFOT%27s%2...15_3_3rdfp.gif
This comp site is good for Sofi and Smurfette. They finished in the 2nd Fence Puzzle in third place. 8) Let's hope that the lines will be found. "thumbsup"

Personally I'm expecting top five position. ;-)

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Sweet looking rig!! The bunker looks like a fun place to run. Enjoy and go kick some butt!!"thumbsup"

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette
 

Next RFOT's crawl cup race tomorrow! Again some new driving experience with pro class. Weather conditions are pretty interesting here in Finland at the moment. But I don't really see that weather conditions would be a problem with Smurfette! That rig has been working so well. Let's see how it goes tomorrow. Looking forward. On top of all I'm really honored to represent Ottsix from now on. "thumbsup"
