I finaly broke stuff..

[buggynutt]

Ok, I will start by saying the tf axles are just way to beefy to even describe. I went camping for 4 days and is was sweat as hell. I went on a few hikes with the scx-10 and ax-10. I stayed around camp with the big boy because I didnt want to carry it to far if something did happen to it.I also need to tell you that last week before going I put the creepy crawler back together.

So on day one I drank and set up camp.

Day 2, I played around on some rocks, went to the beach, found some mud and almost lost the big boy in the river..lol All was great

day 3, I went back to the rocks. The creepy crawler tryed flying with very little luck. 20+ ft drop..oops I broke all the ears off front stearing servo. I went back to camp to fix it but forgot to pack my extra servo..lol Ok so what do I do? Oh yes, I have zip ties..lol 4 ties and I have stearing again. Lets go play. Ok, I go back out and try flying again, more of a tumble. I broke the rear delrin link, poped the bead off 2 tires, broke the delrin cross member on the top of the rig, and lastly poped the three, 1/4" zip ties off the servo. Well I figured I was done.. hell no... gimmy a beer. Ok I still couldnt fix it.

Day 4, I drank breakfast and cleaned up camp. I got the ax-10 out went for a morning hike before its time to go. I ran over a 6+ ft bull snake who thought my truck was dinner.. it got the tire in it mouth and went for the death roll or something. I didnt let go until I hit the gas a little sent them both on a tumble down a 30ft bank.

Ok so it was a great weekend... lets go back to day 1. We got all set up in camp had some beer caught a fish, when cleaning the fish for dinner at the river I leaned over and my video cam slid out of my pocket into the river and floated away. I couldnt get it back. So no video, no proof, and im so sad.

It was still a great trip

I will try to get some pics of the area and breakage..lol

thanks

So you never actually broke the axles? Sweet!

The axles and supershafty tranny parts are untuched...lol except the normal rock rash. I was running some big ass tires as well..40 series mud slingers. They did ok on the rocks but when it came to the sand and mud it was a total monster. I was sure with those big tire I was asking for problems but the drive train worked flawless and could have kept going.

thanks
