Take it apart put it back together, Drive it, make some adjustments by looking at other people's rigs or your own. Then buy or make the parts you want to upgrade.

I forgot about reading and searching. I spend 3/4 of my time on this board searching and reading. Not to be an ass but it's true. Tons of great information on this site. | |

Stock axial goes under the 2.2 class...but I don't think rear steer is allowed in the 2.2 class comps...

What they said, I just got my first AX10 a month ago and have been reading here ever since. I know nothing about RC and have learned enough here to step out and try. So much info I hope you have a good high speed computer connection.

get some hot body rovers the white dots electronics look fairly good except the servo get a hitec 645ht servo they are about 35 and get the dig which helps in hard situations with better turning and and getting up obstacles so for now get the rovers and the servo that will help alot and then aventually a dna dig or the vanquish products dig............................. btw i have a nightcrawler and i have the different transmission rovers and servo and flipped front shocks and this thing kicks ass |

also its not about how good it flexes trucks can have an amazing amount of flex and suck at crawling you want to find the best center of gravity and and wheelbase and setup that works for you and to your liking
