I would imagine that having to sling around a couple of spare tires might contribute to its squirrelyness. Can't say I'd change anything about it though.

Duuuuuuuude is right about slinging that heavy ass end around. Seems to be going well in the handling and power dept. Chuck up another win for hanger wire lol

Man it looks awesome nekkid too

Thank guys. funny thing is that I forgot to put on the spares before this run and it seemed a little light on the ass end. Go figure. Might be the stiff rear sway bar.

Video link since page 6 just started.

Ultra crappy quality video. Almost ashamed to post it up. Just follow the blur.

If it's too loud, your too old.

EDIT: Found the HPI Gears. HPI86917 for the HPI Firestorm 10T


Some help needed.

I thought my trophy truck rear WK axle had WK diff spider gears in it. When they got shredded, I pulled them out and ordered some Axial diff spider gears. Assumed it was a direct swap. Ones I pulled out and new ones I ordered picturec below.
Axial Differential Gear Set for AX10 Scorpion #AX30390

They do have a different look to them than what I pulled out. The axial diff spider gears seem bigger and when I put them in the diff case they do not spin.

I assumed the green aluminum diff spider gear case was an Axial. But I even tried the Axial diff spider gears in a plastic axial diff case and still binds. Only thing I am missing is the little shim seal, which is in the mail.

[Szczerba]

Got the axial diff gears to work in the rear WK axle.

Took the truck out to the skate park with some SC10 tires and new JConcepts wheels.
Took a spare tire off the back, helped lighten up the rear end a touch.

VIDEOS Nothing fancy, don't wanna break anything. Although, I think the rear end of the frame is bent. I'll have to add more bracing in the future.







Still waiting on my painter to paint the new body!

THanks. Yes, it has sold, months ago. Then saw it up for sale again a month or so after that. No clue as to it's whereabouts now.
