|  AX10 Scorpion...so easy, even a wife can do it?!? Hmmmm we shall see! Well, yesterday I bought my AX10 scorpion [that's right, I bought it] and I started to put it together. I never did it before and wanna do it all by myself and have minimal help. Only constructive criticism and support hehe So far, I have put the axle and shocks together. I had to stop because after 30 minutes [literally] trying to insert the metal driveshaft yokes into the Drive Shafts  I had to stop and ask my husby for help!:-(Now, I can't wait to finish putting this together!  Here are some pics of my progress:    Last edited by CristinaG; 12-29-2007 at 05:31 PM. |

| Thanks guys! Well, today I did shocks only. It wasn't so bad. I had to ask Kev just to do some tightening and I did all the rest on my own.  And I guess I lost my right to complain about the mess he makes around the house with his crawlers. I am not a good example of cleanliness right now!  |

| Lies, there are no women on the internet, let alone building/running rc crawlers.  Keep up the good work, glad to see you building your own. |

Be sure to post pics of her AX10 here. It'd be so awesome to show you GUYS that we also can do it and on our own hehe  . And since women are so detail oriented, ours will look so much betterI should just create the U.W.R.C.C. club [united wives/women of rc crawlers] | |

| Your rig is lookin sweet, but I would have thought that you could take your ole man into some upgrades( C's, strail axle adapter, hi clearance lower links, etc.) I guess you have been too busy building to ask. Keep up the good work. |
