Doesn't take much to talk me into more power. :ror:
Tight, but it's in there. I can see a sliver of light between the endbell and the chassis.

Ya, like jump all the way to the top of that one climb that gave you so much trouble with your berg:lmao:
Pffff. That was easy. :ror:
Hmmmm. Not sure. I'll keep the Eritex on there for now.
Will do Aaron. "thumbsup"

:shock: i was just kidding on the "is it finished comment?" , but now that you have why don't you help me finish all my unfinished projects:lol:, i sound like JIA now:lol:, Cory your rig is looking sweet"thumbsup", i haven't done any torsion chassis on 2.2 since i tried my 2.2 clod a couple years ago, but this build and chassis look like the ticket for me.
:ror:
Thanks Carlos.
Took it to work to weigh it today. With the Cobalt puller which is 6.5 ounces (0.5 ounces heavier than the typical 540 can motor), and a 2S 800 mah lipo (which is a ridiculous 1.6 ounces), but still missing the ESC, RX, spur gear and body, I'm at a scant 4 pounds 3.7 ounces.
4 pounds, 3.7 ounces. :shock:
The last version of my AX10 was 4 pounds 14.2 ounces RTR.
Get some lighter delrin lower links and I should be below the 4 1/2 pound mark RTR. The front wheel/tire combo is 10.7 each, the rears are 8.8 each. That's 39 ounces total.
Total weight right now is 67.7 ounces. Subtract the 39 ounces for the wheel/tire and the rest of the truck weighs 28.7 ounces.

:shock: that is light, hope it doesn't get blown away by a wind gust:lol:

yeh yeh yeh, some $ssholes get all the cool $h!t, lol, kidding, whens this chassis susposed to come out and whats the belly clearance, with the panthers?, oh is there any issues yet on trying to mount a body?
No idea, just under 2.5" with this preproduction too low chassis (with Panthers) and I haven't tried to mount a body yet.
And since it's preproduction, and knowing I have another production version on the way, I was content with cutting the chassis. I tried a few different spreader bar widths to clear the spur, and just didn't like it. The chassis was forced to be bent outwards, and flex, and twist, and go in another direction for flex, I dunno, seemed weird. So I cut it to clear the spur. And mounted the rear upper links on the outside for clearance, and got more triangulation also.
Clears the spur no problem, and flexes naturally, without any binding.
So, still trying stuff.
If the top hole was straight up, instead of headed inwards, those would be great body mount holes.
Now I wonder if I need those holes for bracing. Well, we'll see.

And I guess I meant in my case. I know DNA Don has his together and looking great, I'm still working on mine. :ror:
It'd be sweet if he could get the body post holes in the same spot as the stock Axial holes so the body would just transfer over...

cant wait to see a vid to see how it performs, looks like it would be nice and low and stick to the rocks pretty well, id like to see how your going to battle the torque twist on that thing,,,,,, seems to me the only thing that would stop articulation, if in a forced situation, would be the upper and lower links hitting,, im glad to see more shockless options coming open, since ive switched to droop, i dont think ill go back sprung,, with more stuff like this coming out, im tempted to be going shockless sometime in the neer future

Yeah, I run a spreader that measures 2.35" wide to clear my spur. I'll most likely move the upper hole off the spur for more clearance though. Not too sure about stock locations as I have never had a stock AX-10 :ror:

Looking good EeePee bring it to Oaks Parks so We can see it.
Don has some videos posted up in his thread. "thumbsup"
I tried a couple of spreaders, and just didn't like how everything was being pushed around and preloaded. And with a not too extreme of a spreader all flexed out I had some spur gear rub. So I said, "I'm cutting it off!" Took me a lot of staring at, and a lot of tries, then I said I'm doing it. :ror:
Oh I will man, it might be my comp rig for a while. "thumbsup"
Running.
Put some spreader bar/braces in cause it seems it might need it after all.
My pinion gear still rubs the sideplate even with the spreader, and it's smaller 13 tooth. It'll self clearance. :ror:
Then maybe run some long set screws into the braces instead of the screws, and then screw body posts to that, find a body, and I'm crawling.

I did, he found me afterwards and let me try it (I cannot remember his name). I ran 2008's finals course with the 500, his 1300, and my 1300. I felt the 500 stalled out a bit, and would have been an issue. Then I found out 86jeep (winner at ECC) ran the 500 pack too! I felt dumb. But I still believe it was a staller outer. He then let me try his 1300, and we both think it might be the same cells as my Outrages, and it worked very good. It's possible my Outrage pack had a little more juice in it, cause I might have thought that the Outrage might be a little better. Hard to say really. Lot's of mights in there. ;-)
This 800 is my compromise to his 500. Almost right between a 500 and 1300. This 800 works pretty good, but I've not run it hard with this 10T Puller. We'll see.
Only time I ran a dig on any shafty was with a TLT, an RC4WD R2D, and it came back off after maybe a month. Pick your line wisely and you can usually pull off the same lines. Not always of course, but hey, whatever!
Hell yeah, I got a couple. Opening one...
... now.
:ror:
I cut that hole off as well by the spur;-)
I used the 3mm threaded rod for the Axial links threaded into the spreaders to mount my Axial body mounts, works good yo"thumbsup"
I like the way you have the Tekin and rx on the front, I thought about it, but decided to keep it under the body for more protection, since when I endo, the front hits pretty hard, especially when you stay on the gas to keep the endo going all the way back onto the wheels. Some people use less throttle than me....and can get away with it on the front:ror:
