Thought I would register myself here to introduce myself and my Axial going to be Racer ;) for the monstertruck competition here in Holland. The Axial is the replacement for my (sold) ThunderTech clodbuster, because I wanted try something different. The Axial has less weight to carry ;), Nice chassis with al the needed hop-ups and added a few :P. I also ordered at the TCS some parts. The battery will get a place on the side of the chassis with three cells on each side.

I lowered the ride height with some hacked up clodbuster shockmounts the holes are a direct fit! add a alloy strip for the new body mount. Else the body would hit the tires.

Some specs:
- Nosram ESC
- Team Orion 17t v2 motor
- TXT-1 wheels
- Imex baja tires
- Thundertech wheel wideners
- HPI diff wheels because with the locks it won't drive that good on tarmac :P

Some Photos:

And a photo of the Diff wheels and 24t pinion:

I painted the alloy parts yesterday black, and did the skidplate mod so the links are now on the inside of the chassis. I lowered the shocks with 1 inch inside with some fuel tubing.

Hope you guys like it, and i'll keep posted with updates

pretty sweet rig you built. Its nice to see something different for a change. Youll have to post up some action pics/vid once you get to bash on her. let us know how she works for ya! Looks like that thing should cook!

douwe · 01-02-2008, 06:56 AM

OkeSjon · 01-02-2008, 07:19 AM

. Offcourse i'll some photo's / vids when its finished and ready to bash

rcracer · 01-02-2008, 07:22 AM

looks sweet, with the right body and front stinger it would be a great ICELAND machine.

cembom · 01-02-2008, 04:08 PM

Nice, What are the part numbers for the differential gears? also how do they fit? Direct replacement? I wonder though, why not get a wheely king? I would have thought it would be better suited. Not that you didnt do this one up real nice like. Definately some action pics. If you can you should get maybe a 7t cobalt puller and mamba maxx.

JohnRobHolmes · 01-02-2008, 04:29 PM

Nahh, his 17t will probably be faster. It will just get really hot with those tires! Very interesting use of the kit, I wonder how it will hold up with the aftermarket parts.

Dickie691986 · 01-02-2008, 06:41 PM

what gears are you running?

De diff gears are a direct fit ;) it's al HPI i'll look for you for the part numbers am at work now

.

Why not a wheely king??? The Axial -kit has al the hop-ups I wanted, a good stock tranny, axles and better stock parts! Nice aluminium chassis and good parts! For now I bought for about €30,- hop-ups, with the wheelyking I had to buy for lot more €€€ hop-ups to make it as good as the Axial for my needs. The pics will come asap ;) The WK also has more plastic parts so overall the Axial would lots cheaper.

I'am running the stock spur gear and 24t Hpi pinion.

@ John Holmes, I keep you posted how the axial holds up. I hope I'll do as good as a I think

crawl rookie · 01-03-2008, 01:08 PM

sSorry but why would you put those kind of racing tires and diff gears AND a very fast motor in a crawler,
Het is geen crawler , sjon sorry

(freakycrawler)
Toch ziet het er allemaal erg gaaf uit maar zal me benieuwen of het idd allemaal houd

Sorry that was Dutch beacause we both are

Succes on the racer build

Didn't you say right here that it is for monster truck racing? That isn't crawling last time I checked.

Etype R · 01-03-2008, 01:14 PM

I used to race clod busters locally... My TLT even started out as a scale tuff truck for a racing class they had setup for the TLT's.

jetboat · 01-03-2008, 01:37 PM

how is the locked front and rear diffs going to work in racing? Seems to me it would push too bad in the corners.

Etype R · 01-03-2008, 01:39 PM

Jetboat, try reading his post... He mentioned he installed HPI diffs.

OkeSjon · 01-05-2008, 02:57 PM

Some extra photos of latest updates ;)

a photo of the locked diff:

he what happened nothing in there:

A there are the diff gears:

and a spy pic of the truck how it is now with the new battery tray:

Hope you guys like it.

2JSC · 01-05-2008, 03:38 PM

Well that is some good info! But wouldn't the HPI carrier bolt onto the AX10 ring gear?

X2 looks good and get some more pics/video and race/damage report.

OkeSjon · 01-07-2008, 12:50 AM

So the Axial is as good as finished, only a few little things and fine tune the set-up

What I did:
- Removed the Axial battery / electronics plate -> replaced with glasfiberplate
- Placed Corally battery holders (almost direct fit ;) ) for lower cog
- Replaced the tri-link with tcs plates (really fast shipping!!! thnx)
- Longer rear upperlinks
- Reversed the rear lock-out to avoid damages ;) and placed o-rings on the ball-ends to remove play
- Placed some little spacer for the lower links - chassis to avoid bending and better triangle ;)
- And some more :P

Photo's:

the workplace :P

The TCS servo plate:

The new battery placement:

Hope you guys like it.

cembom · 01-07-2008, 07:39 PM

Yeah I just said wheely king because it was a stock monster. Yeah the axial is a little better out of the box but I just thought the wk mock tubes would be nice. Looks great, Is there a monster section on here? I like monsters, I have a jugg2, wk and a couple others, I dont know many who race near me anymore. CLODS SUCK cough

karlos · 01-25-2008, 09:23 AM

How do you like the Nosram ESC? I know that it's waterproof and there's no setup to do and no reverse delay. Does it have braking and how strong is the BEC?
