Didn't make it in the video but had just made it before deciding to film it (go figure). I'll see if I can upload it.

It's a pretty short video of a little course we set up. Video doesn't quite do it justice... believe it or not there are some pretty technical areas in this little pile of rocks. Lots of little jags, holes and hangups all over let alone the different types of rocks/concrete. Once minute you have traction next minute you dont. I made this turn and gates prior to the video but struggled to make it twice. Pretty fun though.

Cap mod is drilling the top cap, cut off the hoop, run a bolt and attach a rod end. I would highly suggest running new shocks, it was a huge improvement for me, less bounce and just all around more stable. If you need pictures, I have a ton of the big bores with cap mod next to stock shocks. I need to start my own thread already. Lol

I ran big bores (no cap mod) on my ax10 and loved them. But then again, I don't really have anything to compare them too since that was my first crawler.


Got the wiring cleaned up. Was able to de-case everything other than the rx including the bec. Few questions....
First, I was able to fit the esc under the plate in the chassis... lowered the cog a bit I'm sure but is heat going to be an issue? Nvrmnd, just went and looked at cboggs thread and he has the esc under the plate. Looks like I should have put the dig on that lower plate to get it a little lower. Too late now, still much better than it was.




Last thing left now is the motor wires...... I'm going to shorten them but my question is (newbie) can I wire them to the other poles on the opposite side of the motor up top? Or do I have to rotate the motors. I'm going to shorten and solder them to the motor posts but don't want them on the bottom side.

This might help with wiring and battery new bully 2 battery and electronics tray
