[Thomas P]

Hi guys..have always been liking this class (1:1) and rc is nice to..real fun... i have tested this app 2-3 yeras ago, with a HPI MT2 shrouded with a LRP 21 motor, Sidepipe, Sandpaws..real fun..to bad, the tranny was the minus..but but..

So, i ordred everything for a week or so ago..the Axial AX-10..

So far i miss one Amianorder with a widening kit, some Panther paddles,rims, carbonfibre stuf etc etc etc.. Missing my Tower order with Cromed rims and Sandpaws, crawler rder a Jeep body and some spurs..Maxamps 4000mah 2s lipo (saddle) 2 packs..

Mamba ESC will be used with a Losi Xceleroin 7500 motor and ACE1015 servo (14.5kg and app 0.08 or 0.10 digi)

first stuff..






il be back asap the other stuff arrives...


ANY tip,tricks would be great...

You couldn't have chosen better.
Be sure that you dont add too much weight.

Keep us posted !

[Thomas P]

As i am new on this, how about ridehight? how do i lower it, i bought medium firm internal springs, is that nesecary?

If i should weight it, where should i do it? i asume il run my saddle Lipo one in front the other in back ? for lower CG

[Thomas P]

Now we coming somewhere..











Servo ACE1015 14.5kg +

[Thomas P]

Some stuff to do ...il be back asap

[SlidSlide]

Nice build! You're the first person I know using those tires. When you've tested let us know what you think about them.
If I was you I'd buy 1.8 - 2.1k 3s lipo and put the battery in front of the car above the upper links.
Of course 4k 2s saddle pack is ok but it is heavier and doesn't have such power.

I may not be the best person to tell you how to improve your suspension setup
as I am using droop and different chassis on my own truck.
Anyway I prefer soft setup: soft oil, soft springs etc. and remember to add black stopper inside the shock.

really nice project, the carbon fibre is pop, my favourite also 

[Thomas P]

Slideslide, may i ask, what wind or Kv rating are you using on your motors ?..i mean, can a 1800-2100 lipo 3s handle the burst from a 540 / 7500rpm/v

im using 30w oil,orange pistons and Losis softest springs...it "feels" ok. The tires seems ok, maybe soft?, i think they can perform real good @sof,loose sand...

[Hadesbear]

Nice build and much better parts than standard! Where you get those "sand paws"?
I can answer about your question: i have S-size brushless motor, castle creation 5700kv and i drive 2s lipo.
I have good power and nice speed. im also using axial standard 30w oil its working good my car.

Slideslide, may i ask, what wind or Kv rating are you using on your motors ?..i mean, can a 1800-2100 lipo 3s handle the burst from a 540 / 7500rpm/v

I'm using 3000kv L-motor because of more torque and longer run time compared to small size high kv motors.
In my opinion you have good rpm. I can't really say how much torque helps in a small car like yours.
At least it's not bad having it..

[Thomas P]

Thanks for all info m8ts..the Sandpaws can be located @ stormer and towerhobbies..maybe Amainhobbies to..

ive tested the car in the air only...all shrinktube will be redone Red will be black, all yellow straps will be black...maybe a test drive tomorow

[Maximus]

Looks very good!

When do u do a test drive?


PS: Sorry my bad england 

[Thomas P]

Maximus: i realy hope i can to that today, im charging the Lipo packs now, and will do the last on the chassi..il throw some paint on the stock body i think..next goal is to buy NewEras frame body/chassi fpr more proper look.

On RCCrawler i got a reply on my build, and "prepaired for breaking the tranny"...may ia ask, what will be break, what is the weak point on this one ?

[Thomas P]

This is the first throttle..@ small beach...to bad there is rain in the air...hopefully i can drive @ (what ya callit now again, where they store A lot of sand in diff sizes)..the truckl feels good, to bad,since the motor is mounted it twisttrottle if there is grip...i will test Pink spring on Left side rear..

[SlidSlide]

At least you have lots of power .

None of has broken the tranny. We have had some small issues with shafts and spur but nothing serious.

[Hadesbear]

Nice power, speed is unbelievable    I dont never see axial pop a wheelie like this, its funny vision 
Suspension bump pretty much, are you change it someway? Maybe harder setup, then car dont "twist" so much
or try some else motor? Castle Creation 5700kv motor its also good and hobbycity have some good possibility too.

Anyway, nice work and i think so, this is excelent challenger next year rc formula offroad world cahmpionships.. 

[Thomas P]

IL talk to my wife and see if i can make it to the WC  .

Il see if i can do some more testing today

[Thomas P]

Did some more testing...one thing, it MUST be stiffer in the rear, il shorten the rear and fronts...have to much Power-Tweak. BUT, damn it is fun...

[Thomas P]

one hand filmed  but its real fun...to bad it was wet..

[Thomas P]

Nice build! You're the first person I know using those tires. When you've tested let us know what you think about them.

Today,later this noon i will come with a result. ive recived my Sandpaws (proline ) and will test the vs Panther tires "Paddle"
