Default Custiom build needs axles

allright i was using some Wheely King axles but im getting pretty dam tired of the torque twist asociated with the shaft drivetrain and now ive decided that instead of jaming spacers or stiffer shocks in i want to get some Clod type axles, so i was just wondering what all there was out there and which ones would be the best? and would i need an esc like on the E-Maxx to run the dual motors or can i just use my old Rooster Crawler?

Dont give up on the shafty, they are real fun when you get them tuned right.

Ive been very happy with the HR MOA axles so far but I am planning to switch to the RC4WD Bully when they are available. Either would do ya right.. You dont need a dual motor specific ESC to run 2 motors. All you need to know about wiring a 2 motor truck can be found in the Clod or Berg sections

Not really sure on the esc.

The torque twist has more to do with the chassis and link geometry.


But, if I were looking into the clod type axles (and I am), I would wait on RC4WD's Bully axles. I know there are a few sets out being tested right now.

yah another reason i want clod type is because i dont have the tools or the skills to set up the geometry so i figured as long as i can make it straight these axles should be what i need, and seems how im in no hurry ill definatly be waiting to see what the bully's have to offer

i guarantee you that if you search this site, you'll learn how to set it up so that you won't have that problem. in fact, there used to be a how-to set up that basically costs nothing in the tech section of this site that i've used and see alot of guys use that i know works very well.

allright so all it took was a droop an axle flip and a motor reversal and now it runs like my AX10, but i still would like to try a clod type build just to see waht i can do to it.
