The BHSN Crawler Club Fleet

[VoltSCX]

Hello all! This is the thread for my high school's fleet of crawlers for the new Crawler Club. After about a year of procrastination I finally managed to find a sponsor and get the club going. All progress for the builds will be in this thread (I put it in 2.2 general because all of the trucks are 2.2s).

The main trucks for the club are a fleet of 5 AX10 Scorpion RTCs that I picked up recently. Truck #2 is the most incomplete, missing the left half of the axle, the driveshafts, an ESC, and rx/tx.

And then there's truck #3, which seems to overall be in fair condition. It will need a new ESC though, as the old aftermarket one has been wired sketchy.

Truck #5 is in quite good condition, although it is missing the driveshafts. I've yet to check the wiring and gears.

Truck #8 is fully ready to go. In fact, I actually brought it to school and drove it around the other day as a way to help get people interested in the club. Currently it is the only AX10 that is ready to run.

And then there's truck #9, which was actually the nicest one of the bunch until the old ESC burned up after I got it home. I threw in an old Axial AE-1 ESC that came with the lot as a temporary fix, although the truck started to act incredibly strange, as if the radio became unbound from the receiver. I'll be looking into that after I finish cleaning up my Ridgecrest.

Another truck that I'll be letting the club members use is my old Max Stone 10 from when I first got into the hobby. It's fully ready to run as-is, and the only thing I need to do is put the motor and ESC back in it, as I stole them for my 10.3 to test it out.

And finally are the three Everest 10s. They're all in varied condition, though none are ready to run. Truck #2 needs a rear driveshaft, truck #5 needs new differential gears, and truck #1 needs new driveshafts and a new ESC.

Overall I think they should be a good fit for the club. Most of the parts that need to be replaced can be found on the cheap side, and it's good to learn how to work on the trucks. The only thing that I'm worried about are the Redcats, as they seem to have been bashed around fairly hard, and I've not gotten a good look inside of the axles and gearboxes yet. I'll post all of the updates regarding these trucks in here. Hopefully it goes well!

That's a ton of AX10's. Cool to see.

the everest 10s are just ax10 clones most of the parts swap over theres a huge e10 thread that details what dose and dosent and how to mod the parts to work together

Yeah, I've noticed that while working on my old Max Stone. I'm hoping that the Everest parts will be easier to find and cheaper than the AX10 ones. The only things I need to swap over right now are driveshafts and axle internals. I might pull a couple things out of the stock axles off of my old SCX10, as they're just sitting in my spare parts box.

That is neat

Got turned down by my sponsor after about a week or two of planning. I might try to find a new sponsor, but I'll likely just keep all of these for personal use or maybe something else. The AX10s will still be built as planned, but I'm probably going to tear down the Redcats for parts or just sell them. Nothing against Redcat, I'm just not a fan of the Everest 10 and only one of the three isn't inoperable. I'll likely try to delete this thread sometime soon and make a new one for just the Scorpions whenever I get around to those.

Don’t “ likely delete it” hope you find another sponsor. I’ll try again in another year or so with my school. You have a great start, wish my sets looked that good.

I'll still ask around and such, but I don't exactly have the highest of hopes. We'll see how it goes though.

I would totally be interested if I wasn't completely broke right now, lol. I do really appreciate the offer though, thanks.

No need to delete the thread. It's in the 2.2 section so you can just convert this one to AX10 Scorpions or I can move to a different section of the forum if appropriate.

Sucks to hear you are having trouble getting sponsors, but keep trying.

Very generous offer! I'm sure others have things laying around that they'd donate.

I think it'd be good to maybe move it to the Scorpion section, but I'm gonna give it a minute and see. I talked to a couple people today and might be able to get a new sponsor. I might also try to throw the E10s together and see if they work. I'll post the current build progress when I get home.

Went through the gearbox and axles on the #9 truck. This thing is almost immaculate, it doesn't look like it's been run much at all. Even the motor looks amazing.

Unfortunately the AE-1 ESC I threw into it doesn't seem to be working very well. This thing throws a fit whenever I turn it on. Might see about grabbing a Quicrun 1060 or somethin to throw in here later.

Robbed some front axle parts off of one of the inoperable E10s and rebuilt AX10 #2's front end. Looks pretty good. Now I just need an ESC and rx/tx.
