|  HR Axle Swap on ARTR AX10
Finally Ran this rig today and realized I am past due on getting this info posted up on the Hot Racing Axles. During the initial run everything worked ok. Ran into some binding issues with the steering. Also had the front axle lock up completely on me more than once. Still need to look into that!! They are noisy without any grease in them, but that is to be expected from all metal gears. The factory clocked front axle is a nice touch. All the AX10 links clear the gear case and motor under full flex with hardly any space to spare. Test Rig:  Axles:  My quick fix for the upper link offset. I used some of the conical washers that are included in the servo mounting hardware.   The shafts proved to have VERY tight tolerances with the bearings. I had to take them to the belt sander and take a few thousandths off to get the bearing to slide on.  I love the clear gear cover  Front and rear initial installation   Last edited by Brandon; 09-23-2008 at 01:40 AM. |

I just received my East End Machining Delrin skid plate last week. I need to install it and get the lower links inboarded. Cant wait to get it on, its extremely nice and the few times I drove this rig with these axles I am getting hung up on the links mounted to the outside. Nice to be able to just buy the part to fix that | ||

Squeezed in a few quick runs this week. Here are the pics. Only carnage was an axle tube screw. Backed out and got chewed up in the gears pretty badly. The gears dont even have a scuff on them So remember, take apart the axles and loctite everything!!     |

that is pretty bling. so i have a question since i dont know almost jack about these things yet. do you have two steering knobs on the control and each sends a different signal (1 for front steering, 1 for rear) or are you just stuck with all time 4 wheel steering. ive thought about 4 wheel steer already when i want to build mine. edit: cancel that question. i just found a bunch of transmitter stuff on rear steer. im off to bed ive been on here way go long.

He has the rear locked out. Nluvwithxlr8ing, does the truck not act a little funny on the climbs with the rear sitting down like that? I know its not as bad since its not a shafty but wasn't sure if it affected it any. | |

It looks like it would be about perfect for some straight links in the rear and would give a little better coverage of the motor. Looks great by the way. | |
