Well, after turning my first AX-10 (Kit version) into a scaler, I then needed a 2.2 rig, so I thought I'd try the RTR this time.
I saw some of the rockracers people were building on RCC, and I thought the AX-10 RTR might be a decent start to one. Well, after about five minutes of bashing it on the rocks at Frick, I broke the servo. No big deal, I know if I played with it ruff, it would break. I got a new servo today and played with it in my house.
I'm running it stock except for the servo (MG645) and internal spring in the shocks, and the front diff is locked. I tig wielded some 3/16" solid steel rod to make a roll cage for it. It ain't pretty, but at least I don't of a plastic body on the thing anymore.
With the 27 turn motor and 20 tooth pinion, it pretty quick, and takes some finesse on the throttle to get it to crawl. It's been pretty fun trying to get it to crawl, and I can't wait for things to dry up outside and get the thing back down to Frick Park.
Anyway, here's a pic and a little vid.
