Why's that?? And I understand the lubrication issue, but my question was more on a damping issue. The heavier the oil, the slower the damping and vice versa. I guess I'm just trying to figure out where to start with oil and springs. 8)

SOFT. Losi Gray=1.6, White=1.8, and Yellow=2.0 are the most common used. Get some thin oil 15wt-30wt. That should get you started."thumbsup"
 
Thanks for lendin a hand Ryan "thumbsup"

Dude, I forgot how weird stock ax-10's look :mrgreen: I would move your shocks back to the inside hole. It looks like it sits waayyy too high.

May check out the Axial Racing SWX chassis, or something of that caliber to really get you comp crawling "thumbsup"

Thanks TLT, I'll give it a go, just ordered losi's from my lhs And assume a little heavier spring and oil in the front to deal with the 60/40 weight bias! What would I do without you?:-P

You, like me, will come to a point where no matter what you do to your rig, it's not quite right. There is some voodoo secrets not a lot of people talk about and it's their foam setup. I am lost in foam land so I just ordered premade/pretested foams from rcc user nova's ark and I from what I've read it takes guesswork out of foam tuning!! Also excited about supporting a RCC vendor!
AND....Take a look at the comp rules to make sure your rig/body/wheelbase is legal for comps. The best thing I've done for my crawlers is ask a good, experienced local crawler to drive it for me and tell me what he thought!

Hey Colby, Building a 2nd rig, going to order a cc bec from holmes, what voltage should I have them set it to? 7.4?? Like a 2s? Servo is the Hitec can't remember the number with the black and metal heatsink and 400+inoz torque. and will run 3s lipos 1100 to 1500mah
 
Not sure on that one. I have never gotten around to buying a CC bec... I think TLTryan told me you have to set it a little above the voltage your going to be running. So 3s is 11.1v, you would need like... 12 volt...

Like I said, im not sure, may just PM him and ask "thumbsup"

Ryan said what???

Have Holmes set the BEC to 6v. Some servos can handle 7.4v but Im not sure if yours will. Most servos will operate safely at 6v.
 
well im getting a 2.2 axial ax10! its full of hop ups but itss just a roller chassis! hes selling it for $190! :?

is that a good deal?

Well without seeing it its hard to say.

I would try to price everything out to see what you could build it for new. If your not saving a lot of money it may not be worth it.

If I'm only saving 15-20% I will usually buy it new, but I usually prefer new stuff anyway. But if I'm saving like 50% and know the previous owner I would buy used.

I guess it depends on how picky you are and what this crawler is worth to you.
