bastard jr ax10

[lizard017]

had to get one when i seen it, sorry i didnt have the patiance to do a full buildup, dont mind my spelling

55t inegy-14tooth pinion
stock ax10 tranny-nodig at the moment
stocks shocks setup droop with med. springs
cirrus p-cs704mg servo-soon to be 333oz. hightec TG
panther cougars-stock ax10 rims weighted
bent rear links


add more as i go



just enough but not too much

had to bend out the crossbrace to get tranny to fit with the foward facing motor

Tanis, heres your knuckles, got my alum. knuckles, made a world of differance

had to add 2 1\2 cm to the rear links to get my axle at the angle it neede to be

for a little boost upward i added the spacers while runnibg droop to give a little help to the dragging issue, gave me just a hair over 3" of clearance


had to upgrade to a spectrum, i know its just the 3.0, but it fit my budget

over all, crawls ok for now till my other mods get funded

[Tanis]

Nice looking Bastard
Are you running internal springs?

Stuff your ESC under the hood too.

[lizard017]

lef it up high so i can pull it quick, got my rooster and my new servo at my LHS waiting for my money, got to pay it out, and yes internal springs-med

[Tanis]

Right on, figured you had a reason for mounting it way up high

[lizard017]

my next mods are going to be my servo, roster esc, 11.1 lipo, and a dig setup, my problem is trying to find a dig setup that fits inside that chassis, id also like to go to a set if the integy msr10 shocks

[Tanis]

I hear ya on the dig fitment. You could run a driveline dig.

[lizard017]

i dont have the fabicating skilz to do that, been thinking of getting someone to build me one cheap, or even better, grace one apon me, lol, like thats going to happen, know anyone that can make a good one

[Tanis]

My buddy made his own a couple of years ago and it worked perfectly until he switched to Bergs this summer, but I think he already gave it to somebody else.

[lizard017]

im not a begger, my first son is due feb 6, after he is born im stuck to my sevo and esc for mods, dont think ill be able to afford much more afer that

Not that I'm currently running one,but I think the Rooster Crawler ESC has a 2-cell lipo limit

[lizard017]

thanks for the heads up

I would go with another shock setup than the msr10's. I had them when I first built my Ax, and they were bad. First I got home from the Lhs, and one shock shaft was bent from a seal'd package. Took them back and got another set. I should have known better, I could get them to work but no where near as nice as many other shock's i've built. Plus they were about 75$. Revo gtr's are my current setup and they are silky smooth.

[lizard017]

i seen a nice set by hot racing

[lizard017]

i have my driveline dig built, ill be getting more pics up tonight or tomorrow

[lizard017]

forgive the bad cameramanship, got it done, didnt think i had it in me but i did the driveline dig and got it done, just have to make a stronger connecting link but it works, easy once i laid it all out,,,,and for those who want to read this for building one, there are better threads out there, this is my first build thread so im still working on the getting info to the keypad, so bare with me

started by puting my nail in one male shaft half

next i cut my other male shaft half to length, found out each setup is custom to your rig so that threw out having someone make one for me, and then after drilling it out so my male shaft JUST spins freely in it, put one of bushing in one ond of my pipe, then cut the female insert ( has to spin freely inside ) so you might have to cut a couple times to make sure the other end bushing doesnt put pressure on it once its together, on mine, the tranny side male shaft i cut out the grooves to match the lare grooves (so you only have a quarter turn to re-engage to 4 wheel drive.

put it all together


and once i put it on, it was ON and the rocks were \\\shakin'///
and here we have it, a little video

[Tanis]

Yeah!! I knew you could do it, and it looks like it's working good Good job, and let this be a lesson to others who are leary of trying something custom that can be a challenge

[pantablo]

thats the old school way to do it...just figure it out and build it. kudos to you for nto relying on buying something. very old school...

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

looks good!
congrats on new member of family!

fabrication is only as hard as you make it out to be.
"aint nutin to it but to do it"

[lizard017]

forgot to mention, i found out last night when i set my radio up, my dx3.0 only has a 2 position thumb switch, so i only have 4x4 and locked rear, if theres another way to do freewheel-4x4-locked i dont know how set up my radio for it

[treday619]

Unfortunately with the 3.0 there is no mod for 3 position switch. You would either have to go to a DX3 (older model) or a DX3R. for 3 position dig.
