Another low budget slop fix,,I installed a hand cut washer made from 1mm nylon between the hex pin and the bearing of the front axles to take up a little of the lateral slop in the axles

I'm a experienced shafts guy that has gone as far as possible with
My ax10 and spent as much as I'm willing to. Always wanted a Moa and now have my chance I purchased a set of bully axles and have loads of questions ? Can I use my reign rc chaos wide mouth ax10 chassis for my bully with mods ? And where do I even start with link lengths?
