Axial XR10 Kit

[dezmoon]

Personally I couldn't be happier with what Axial has come up with and in some cases beyond what I could have hoped for. I think it shows they really listen and did their research.

I can't wait to get a hold of one of these .:twisted:

x100.....super nice job axial,,,

three questions :
1. is it a kit or artr ''kit''
2. how does the 8° kingpin angle decrease scrub radius and allows for tighter turns ? i know real 1:1 axles are like this but i dont understand the reasoning someone school me
3. whats the backspacing on the wheels

It's about time..."thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

Looks fantastic, body and all. 45 degrees of steering with 8 degrees of kingpin inclination is way cool.

I hope we all didn't wait for 3 months to wait another 3 months until they are actually available. We'll see......

The point the tire is pivoting around is nearer to the center of the tire, thus reducing tire scrub a bunch since the axle is locked. On all axles previous to this the inclination is zero, the tire is pivoting around a point inboard of the tire (directly under the king pin bolts), and the tires are dragged against their will into the turning position. With 8 degrees inclination, the pivot point is probably actually at the tread of the tire, for less scrub. What does this mean in the end? Your servo will act stronger.....

It's a KIT. The scrub radius is based upon the point where the vertical lines through the kingpins meets the ground. The angled king pin moves that point out towards the tire. Backspacing says it's minimal so I would assume a berg-like backspacing but I am sure they were purpose designed to be whatever they needed to for this rig, not to meet a current wheel offset.

Great job Axial and Brandon! I can't wait to get one! It will be the first non-berg comp crawler that I'll have purchased in 2 years! "thumbsup"

whoa!!!! XR10 takes the "BAD ASS RIG OF THE YEAR AWARD"!!"thumbsup"

 

[DeaDShorT]

XR-10...I get the 10 as in 10th scale. Where did the XR come from? Xtreme Rockcrawler?;-)

 

[Bukwylde]

I, personally, think that the body is terribly ugly. However, it's the first body that I'd consider running in a very long time. Just looking at it, I can see where it's completely designed to be low profile, yet still help you roll back over when you go rubber side up.

...rounded for smooth roll to front or rear wheels, with no sharp edges to catch of the rocks.

Nice job, Axial! "thumbsup"

Thank you!!! It's called function over form! And anything that works the way it's supposed to IS beutiful!:twisted:

 

[dpdsurf]

I can't wait to retire the Bergs for a product that is supported by a manufacture that is involved in the crawling scene!

AMEN! "thumbsup"

Plastic wheels are light weight, and low cost. Aluminum wheels would make the kit quite a bit more expensive I would think...

Plus we gotta have something to upgrade..:mrgreen:

Id say to keep cost/weight down.
