Is it bad when you are breaking loose an axle nut and can watch the entire axle housing twist? Gotta love bent stock UCAs with trashed bushings

Na I thought about it, but the clearance on this isn't very good so I'm going to leave it at the height its at and put titanium an aluminum parts to make a little bit heavier plus I'm going to weight the wheels

I have 2.5 oz of weights in my fronts, and 1 oz in the rears. I also added some on the bottom of my servo plate. Its heavy, but super stable and climbs like a goat!

Running Rover white dot tires and custom 4 link front and rear.


Any of you crawled at morison elementry, palmer park, or garden of the gods?....all epic rc crawl spots.

We have almost half a pound of weight in each tire of my friend's crawler. Sits on the bumpstops with 110mm shocks. Garden of the gods would be awesome, up here we have rocky hiking trails around horsetooth

SCX10 in my opinion. Sometime the F650 truggy in the pic is getting Wraith axles since they are almost an inch wider than the Venoms under it now

The scx 10 is good, but if strict crawler, go for ax10, it comes stock with 60degree articulation! Truly that's too much! I'd put it down to 42-48 degrees with a tall 2.2 tire on it and it will kick ***! The scx 10 is fun all around and the wraith is a kick *** trail beater and rock racer! If you go wraith change the gearing to 87-18 and get a traxxas 21turn motor and itll stay cool, drive fast but crawl nicely!

I just found out the color of the fluid in my rear diff is wrong. Well f**k, guess who's opening a Diff for the first time! Hope there's no damage.
