| AX10 climbing board at 57 degrees
Sorry about the bad quality guys, all I had was my phone. Got the car to climb at about 57 degrees, but that doesn't seem normal. I've seen near stock AX10's doing steeper! As you can sort of see in the video, I have a lot of torque twist that I just can't seem to figure out. Here's the build: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...11#post1979811 Last edited by Mudman; 09-05-2009 at 05:07 PM. |

You have any pre-load on your left rear shock? Stiffer spring? Thicker oil? I can climb 65-68* with my GC-2 all day.

With the torque twist, you did all that in 3 wheel drive too |

Post up a pic of your links from side and top angles. Your roll center could be tweaked I bet.

A set of Axial overdrive gears for the front axle would help a LOT.

"Only a little preload, because I was a little worried about losing my articulation." ARTICULATION is overrated and part of your torque twist problem in a shafty. just try simply loading up the springs with spacers on your left rear and right front. Did that to my axial and it keeps all 4 tires firmly on the ground and climbs most anything you point it at... |
