Steve-O2021 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Here's my mods so far 🙂  Dremeled down the steering knuckle for more turn   Nice strong servo 🙂   Electronics relocated to the rear   Battery mounted to the front    wheelbase extended   drilled and tapped the diff gears to lock the shafts inplace    Underdrive mod to rear diff    Huge improvements overall no more rolling over backwards going up things and much better turning 🙂 Edited March 4, 2023 by Steve-O2021 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReggieC Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Good effort! Â I've been looking at 3D printing a battery/servo mount for the front axle of mine at one point. Hadn't really considered just moving the electronics around! Â What links did you use for the extended wheelbase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't really considered just moving the electronics around!  What links did you use for the extended wheelbase?  Yea, was going to do that as well but prefered the look of the battery still in the body / cage but still as far Forward as possible.  What I did was mount the receiver and esc at the rear and then flip the front Electronics mount upside down as it gave more clearance for the pack.  To insert the pack I slide it in through the front window towards the rear and then slide it forward to the front.  I use the CNHL 2S Packs (4900mah I think)   Here's the extension kit I used  Runup 10pcs Stainless Steel Bar Link 324mm Wheelbase 5mm Handlebar Set for Axial SCX10 II 90046 1/10 RC Crawler Car https://amzn.eu/d/7XePAOx  I used the longest on the rear lower and the stock lower links replaced the shorter top links. Also undone the ends on the stock links and added a (i think an M4) nut to each end which allowed me to adjust and lock the length  Then used the 3rd longest on the front to just add a little extra to the front  Edited March 4, 2023 by Steve-O2021 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
