| I want to build a FOFF ( Ax-10 )
Hi Guy's . I'm new here , so bear with me... Got a Axial AX-10 Kit last year ,Build it , played about with it for a while.Then put it away and forgot about it.. Well winter is here again ( so no Flying R/C gliders for a few months ) But after seeing a few FOFF videos on Youtube , I dug the AX-10 out and want to change it into a FOFF... My AX-10 is bog standard apart from the 540 motor I fitted, weighted front wheels... No up-grades fitted.. So What do I need, apart from tyres.. Do I need a Brushless motor / ESC , if so do I have to up-grade the drive train ( Drive Shafts / Diff / Greabox ) I've got some Li-Po's ,so I'm all right for them.. Turnigy 2200mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack .. ZIPPY Flightmax 1500mAh 3S1P 20C .. I know speed costs money ( I own a hpi Baja ) But is there away to do it on the cheap.... Hobbyking ?? Not as if I'll be competing with anyone , I've never seen or heard of another Rock Crawler (same with the Baja) in this part of Ireland . . Sean |

Welcome to RCC Sean You pretty much answered all your own questions! Yes, the whole drivetrain will need upgrading. Trans: 32 pitch Robinson Racing gears and outdrive Drive Shafts: MIP Axial Axles: HD gears (might as well get the overdrive gear set), Gunnar Beef Toobs for added strength. Motor: really any high kv brushless motor and esc that can run at least 3s lipo batteries Your expression while driving it: |

Now, being on the far side of the world , it's not as if I can go to my local ( 50 mile round trip)hobby store and ask / buy what I need .. More then likely they have never heard of rockcrawling ,never mind FOFF . . It's mainly R/C yatchs and Gliders/Planes/Heli's over here.... Any body that does have a R/C Car / Truck / Buggy / Truggy has bought them in the UK and then they buy there spares from the USA/UK as you guys have a bigger market .. So a few links to what I need to buy would be great ... Thanks again. Sean | |
