welcome to the world of RC #9 looks like you have the bug. the First thing I did to my E10 was go brushless. only because I I had a brushless system for it and the stock esc stoped working about 5 feet into the second battery. Redcat sent me a new esc BTW. yes the stock hight was just to top heavy so I put on 100mm shocks that I had. I cut the tires and stared the foams and added weight...tires suck I had been on the fourms her long enough I could get to the classifieds. I found a full set of Hot Bodies Rover white dot 2.2 tires for $20 shipped. these tires are great. I found a group of guys to crawl with and cut up an old 10th scale body to clear the tires and went out to cral with the big boys...they guys I went out with were amazed at how well that E10 did. It went everywhere they did. Use the classifieds. you can find good deals on most anything. you might have to be patient...or lucky. look for some stock SCX10 shocks to lower the CG and there are a ton of tires there. |

You can also just shorten the E10 shocks. I haven't had any issues with the shocks on two E10s. They seem to work fine and I haven't had issues with oil leakage, so I didn't have too much incentive to replace them. I shortened the shocks on one E10 by putting a spacer under the piston inside the shock body. The other I switched to a semi droop setup with shorter external springs and an internal spring under the piston.

| Re: A deeper look within the Redcat Everest 10 crawler
So I want to get some new tires, leaning toward the Pro-Line Hyrax..........which has just opened up a whole can of worms...... I'd eventually like to get a Pro-Line Rubicon or F250 body for a more scale look, so trying to decide to stay 2.2 or go 1.9. Either way, I'm only interested in stock plastic (read cheap) wheels from an RS10 or SCX10 or the like. Staying 2.2 - the 2.2 Hyrax are 5.75" tall, a BIG tire - I think it *may* be okay with the above bodies, but may be too monster truck, I don't know. -I am not sure if the 2.25" wide (what I've read) E10 wheel will be too wide for the 2.2 Hyrax - swell it out too much? -the RS10 stock wheel *looks* to be narrower than the E10 wheel, but I've not been able to find any specs anywhere to confirm that, anyone know? Going 1.9 - the 1.9 Hyrax are 4.75" tall, so would lose about 1/8" ground clearance under the axle, which may not be too bad? - I am not sure if stock 1.9 SCX10 wheels would fit on the E10 axles - ie. clear the knuckle yokes? |

If scale looks are what you want, the 1.9s will look a lot more scale that the 2.2s with those bodies.

Thanks man. I guess the 1.9's being 4.75" tall would look closer to what it does now (height wise) than the 5.75"s would. Placed an order for the 1.9 Hyrax and 1.9 Axial 8 Hole beadlocks. Was tempted to go with the Hyrax knockoffs but couldn't find much reviews on how they performed (compound / sticky wise) vs the originals.

Just finished the thread from start to finish. I have the Maverick version of this chassis and the information in this thread has enabled me to make a list of upgrades for this truck. Got a BrazinScale hi/lol chassis on the way, shaved the knuckles for more steering, shaved the protrusions off the axles, got Axial lockers on the way, Axial spur gear soon as well as MIP or Pro-line shafts for the driveline. Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who contributed to the thread, I felt like I struck gold when I read it. Great work everyone, very much appreciated. |

Got the 1.9 Hyrax and Axial 8 Hole wheels. Really like them a lot. The Hyrax wasn't that much shorter than the stock tires, but I can tell a difference with the pumpkin dragging places it didn't used to. I can certainly see how the E10 would benefit more from a taller than 5" tire. If I was making a pure crawler or buggy out of it, I would for sure recommend a taller 2.2 over a 1.9. Added some window stickers a couple weeks ago too |

For anyone following this thread, below is a link to skid plate discussions with DIY skids and mounting an SCX10 skid to the E10. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/redca...te-mods-2.html |

Hey guys, first post, first crawler, coming over from the plane and drone world. I've managed to get through this thread and was pricing out lockouts, knuckles, lockers, etc when I ran across this guy on aliexpress: GWOLVES high Quality CNC all Alloy 1:10 Rc Crawler Front And Rear Axle For AXIAL SCX10 90022 90028 90021 RC4WD rc parts http://s.aliexpress.com/euIveAja My Google-fu has not been strong enough to find if anyone has had any success with it. Do you guys see any potential problems with installing these guys on a stock E10? I'm unfamiliar with the drive shaft linkage and also concerned about the stock wheels fitting on those knuckles. Thoughts? I'm willing to be the test bed if it doesn't look like a nightmare. BTW this thread was an awesome read through and thank you all for the advice! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

I agree. The axle housings are likely just fine. I worry about the lockers and axle shafts. Hopefully, they're replaceable with Axial parts (or aftermarket equivalent). Now that I've started making chassis to fit whatever body I'm building, I'll likely buy axle kits similar to this as well as other necessary parts rather than buying trucks or kits. There's also an ARB able kit similar to this if you can find it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Last edited by the_law_man01; 11-10-2017 at 04:58 AM. |

Thanks, I've got Axial lockers in mine right now, so those would make the switch. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

Quick question for my friends. I’ve been out for. While and had a ax10 back when they first came out, and I followe a upgrade build article on this site that was simple mods like tube extending, swap springs, and using a boomerang 4 link in the rear. Providing I can find the article would these same mods wrong on te Everest since it’s pretty much the same thing?

Wanted to add some info.....I picked up a couple FI Heavy Spools from Locked Up RC to install in our E10 axles, mostly for the added weight (1.75oz) down low. They come with M2x5 cap head screws to bolt the ring gear on with. There’s not enough clearance between the ring gear and axle housing to run the cap head screws. I ordered a pack of M2x8 flat head countersunk screws off amazon for about $7 that work perfect when trimmed to 5mm length.

I think the E10 benefits from a lower stance, depending on where / how you crawl. A set of Lift / Lower kit for SCX10 worked really good on mine. Just had to add bump stops on the shock shaft to keep the tires out of the body on compression. 1/4” dirtbike fuel line cut to length (mine was about 8-10mm) worked great. You could use vacuum hose from any parts store as well. Just cut it to the length you need and then cut a slit down the length and you can just slide the spring up and slip the hose over the shock shaft.

Having springs both over and under the baffle will help the shocks start heading in the right direction to level the truck. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk | |

You can also then paint your shock bodies without worrying about the springs messing up the paint. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk |
