Absolutely, durok. I've done 1:1 bodies for years. Doing a rc car is 1000 times easier than a full scaler, be it a body or tube work. I can't tell you how many ugly chassis cars got the makeover to change the lines of the car to be desirable. Hopefully the body guys will put a "twist" into the mix rather than duplicate the OEM stuff, as you described in the end of your post. Raw aluminum still looks better than painted lexan in my book, even if it is a stock body.

Anyone have some electrics in mind for it? I have a holmes puller BL540 XL in 3500 kv laying about wondering if it will even fit lol. Also have a Trailmaster BLE Pro and a Hitec 7980TH sitting about though I'm interested in that new waterproof servo from Hitec D956WP.

Servos are most likely going to be an ECO WP120T for steering and a Hitec HS-5086WP for the dig. CC BEC of course. . Last edited by punkindrublik; 09-22-2019 at 03:01 AM. | |

From what I've seen, there's no way your going to fit that 63mm long Puller Pro XL in there without hacking off a link mount. I wouldn't mind being proven wrong though! I know I've already said my electronics setup, but here it is again: Mamba Micro X, CC BEC, 2700kv Puller Pro Stubby, Futaba A700 servo, and hopefully my current 2200mah 3s batteries will fit, otherwise I've got smaller 1000 and 600's that will easily fit. I'm still looking at micro servo options (but I better hurry if these things are really going to ship on the 26th!), I'm liking the look of the JX 1151mg, but I'd really prefer something that can run 7.4-8.4v.) I'll either run it from a Radiolink RC3S (4ch), or Spektrum DX4S, whichever I have a proper sized (5 or 6 channels so I can plug the bec, esc, esc aux wire, dig servo, steering servo, and the light bar if it can't handle direct 3s) ,receiver laying around for. That brings up a question: how many volts can the included light bar handle? Can I run it off of 3s? If not, can it at least handle 7.4v? |

Do all of the servo saver pieces for the dig servo come in the kit? When I look at the parts in AXI232016 it does not include the splined portion that actually attaches to the servo. Then I see that the missing component IS included IF you buy the suggested SX107 servo, is that really the only way to get that piece?

For those asking about the width of the cage, I found a picture/drawing showing 129.83mm (5.11") here: https://www.scalersandcrawlers.it/xe...ial-capra.215/ |

Isn't the rule 1.25" narrower than the inside of the tires, or did that change for 2019? Now I'm reconsidering tire choice, I'm still putting 4.75"s on first, but I'll see how the 1.9/5.4 boggers and other 2.2"s play with the cage without going wider. Being that the only competitions I've ever been to were hosted by me, I've never followed the rules very closely (no scale points either.) Mostly just went by max tire height, and anything dig/4ws was put in class 3 regardless of tire size. Only 2 MOA's and maybe 3-4 shafty's ever showed up so it was mostly weekend warriors with bolt-on-built rigs anyway.

| Re: The unofficial official axial portal buggy. Perfect thank you. I figured cause I saw it mentioned in this thread and rpp says hard running 4lbs and crawling 8lbs. Just wanted to ask. I’m so pumped! Can’t get here soon enough.
