The set-up that I am useing is------------ Cutting board for my chassis sides E-Savage tranny Assorted links (some revo, some t-maxx) T-maxx driveshafts PTI wheels Axial Rock Lizard tires Integy 55T motor PTI axles Tazer 15T ESC (run in reverse) Spectrum DX3 RX, TX bug body that is for a E-Savage Hitec 645MG for the servo Don't know on the battery yet, but I will probly build one I will post some pics on here in a little while.

get your link mounts from PTI (or make them from aluminum L channel) either use a spool for a tc3 or pick up one from PTI Not sure about that e-savage tranny, I think I would sell it and get an axial PTI wheels will last about 10sec.... pick up some HPI MT stars, they are about $8 a pair |

The E-Savage tranny is bullet proof. It is all hardend metal gears. The motor postion is not great, but it is strong. The wheels I didn't figure that they would last very long. They seem kinda soft. I do have a Pete trany, but not sure if I want to use it or not. It will need to be locked in. Any way here are some pics of it so far. |

interesting....... figured the larger tranny would make it heavier, i use the stock one with a n RC4wd 4:1 gear reducer HUGE difference..... but looks good so far. Oh and what did you use to convert to outputs on the axles?? MUD |

the problem i have with the savage tranny is CG...look how high your motor is mounted... An axial or clocked WK would drop your CG by at least an inch and realy help side hilling

I don't have any problem side hilling yet, but I guess that it could always be better a? Like I said earlyer I do have a pete tranny that I could use, But it wouldn't be as strong I wouldn't think. The axle outputs where already done when I got the axles. It looks like they brazed some different ends on them. They do work though. My real problem is I think that I need a better way to mount the links to the axles. I an not happy with the way they are now. The lowwer mounts hang down kinda low, and the upper mounts are holes that I drilled in to the top of the hub carrier.

whats a pete tranny? J/K bro, glad you are still crawlin. Looks promising, but the COG is gonna kill ya. btw Doug, I got a stock ax-10 chassis that is yours if you want it. PM me your address and gimme a week or so to get it out if you decide you want it. It also has a custom skid with the inverted link setup too. |
