Oh trust me, you find a way.

[TheB1GDude]

We shall see! The Z's should keep me going for a while!! Then maybe......

[Donziikid]

I just keep spending more and more and more... but this spend was for a great cause. This spend got rid of all my glitches and problems and gave me a little more freedom when it came to handling the brushless setup.

I present to you...

SPEKTRUM Technology!!!

This is why I have been in a good mood lately.

Yupp. A lexan body comes with the chassis kit; that's part of the deal. However, it's a clear body, and I haven't finished painting it, yet.

[stang_racer]

ah i see, well cant wait to see it finished!!!

[Donziikid]

Yeah, still haven't had a chance to paint the body, but I really roughly cut 'er out and mounted her clear this weekend so I didn't have to worry about flipping my electronics into the snow. I plan on getting a different body and painting that instead; I wasn't too fond of the Betty anyway.

Nice Axial. Are you planning on getting a chassis that provides a lower center of gravity, or such upgrades like that in the future? I know a great site for that.

I've been bookmarking a few pages on TowerHobbies and a few other sites for a few parts, but if you know of a better place, please, do share.

When you do have the cash and if you still want one, I'd advise you to get it. Great machines. They're a dream to drive, even stock.

Sure. Go to rccrawler.com.
They have an AX-10 section, full of things about the Axial, like tips, etc.
And also the vendors forum, which has chassis', DIG's, etc.

Or the vendor stores:

tcscrawlers.com
rcpcrawlers.com

Can I post this here?

A'course, it helps me out. Not like you're soliciting.

I've checked out both those stores; I actually planned to buy from RCPcrawlers if I do not get a Tower gift certificate for Xmas.

Nice donzii. I been lookin into one for a while. Either ill get the ARTR or the Kit...if I get some good $$$$ lol. The RTR is cool but unless I can get it for less than $300 then I won't be gettin one. DX3. Nice. I woulda done the DX3R or if it was released back then, the DX3S because of the telemetry system. Good for keepin motor temps.

Surprisingly, I haven't had one overheat issue. For the amount of stress and power this motor has, I'm astonished it doesn't even get warm to the touch. Maybe once I add a better NiMH set or LiPo set it'll get warmer, but it hasn't yet.

how well does the ax10 perfrom? i feel like getting one and were did you get your electonics from?

Donzii, no problem to help out, as I also have an AX-10, but it is scaled out with a JK body. Are you running weights on the wheels?

Not currently. With that heavy as a brick NiMH pack sitting over the front axle, I haven't really found I need added weight within the wheels. However, if and when I switch over to LiPo or a lighter NiMH pack, I'll probably add some weight.

Do you run weight in yours? If so, how much?

Haha, I don't run weights on the scaler. Pretty good as it is. Have you seen it?

Of course I've seen it. I've only commented on it countless times.. Lol.

Nice Axial, Kyle!

For some of you guys looking to get into the crawler scene, I'd check out the Losi Mini Rock Crawler. It comes RTR at around 240. I've read a ton of great feedback for this 1:18 crawler, and also talked to the local guys at CKRC [www.ckrccrawlers.com.] Some even say it's as capable of the AX10.

Sorry to drag this a little off-topic, but I'd thought I'd recommend the Losi for crawler-interested people.

Just a little photo update. She's been through a lot lately mudding and just plain old bashing. One of these days I'm going to get my butt into gear and actually make that chassis I want, but, in the mean time, stock gets me places others can't go!

Cheers,
Kyle.
