|  very step drive shaft angle
i just lifted my scx10 and the driveshafts were at way to much of an angle. and i like the height it is at, was wondering if you could drop the skid plate in the middle where the transmission and motor are mounted

If its a linked setup you can make your upper links a little longer so the pinion will point up some.

Dropping the trans would kinda be pointless, you could just raise the body and return the suspension to stock or go with longer links up top and that should help a lot

the angle on the axles are fine it the angles on the trans that are making it bind up

Longer links up top will help both.

Take off the lift kit and get slightly bigger tires...

To change the angle of shafts on the tranny you will need to lengthen your wheel base. Dropping the trans is an idea, but your putting an essential part of your driveline in the line of fire with getting hung up on things. If that is your idea and you really wanna explore its outcome, First try fabbing some mounts you can bolt to the outside of your chassis and lower the mounting place of the stock skid, Remount skid with some shims in there to keep everything snug. You might also take a look at some extra skid protection, something along the lines of the product in the url below. gmade junfac | Rakuten Global Market: Skid Plate for Axial SCX10 and AX10 Axle J20025 Gmadejapan Junfacjapan 05P22Nov13 Hope this helps.

Bigger tires and raise body mounts if u want the higher look. Lengthen upper links 5-10mm if u wanna try to keep the high clearance and make it work. If the shafts are binding, keep a close eye on the motor temps! Could also lower ride height (softer springs or other adjustment) so u still have the travel for the high clearance, but the shafts won't be bound as long. |
