I just keep spending more and more and more... but this spend was for a great cause. This spend got rid of all my glitches and problems and gave me a little more freedom when it came to handling the brushless setup.

I present to you...

SPEKTRUM Technology!!!




This is why I have been in a good mood lately.

Yupp. A lexan body comes with the chassis kit; that's part of the deal. However, it's a clear body, and I haven't finished painting it, yet.

Yeah, still haven't had a chance to paint the body, but I really roughly cut 'er out and mounted her clear this weekend so I didn't have to worry about flipping my electronics into the snow. I plan on getting a different body and painting that instead; I wasn't too fond of the Betty anyway.

Nice Axial. Are you planning on getting a chassis that provides a lower center of gravity, or such upgrades like that in the future? I know a great site for that.

I've been bookmarking a few pages on TowerHobbies and a few other sites for a few parts, but if you know of a better place, please, do share.

When you do have the cash and if you still want one, I'd advise you to get it. Great machines. They're a dream to drive, even stock.

Sure. Go to rccrawler.com.
They have an AX-10 section, full of things about the Axial, like tips, etc.
And also the vendors forum, which has chassis', DIG's, etc.

Or the vendor stores:

tcscrawlers.com
rcpcrawlers.com

Can I post this here?

Nice donzii. I been lookin into one for a while. Either ill get the ARTR or the Kit...if I get some good $$$$ lol. The RTR is cool but unless I can get it for less than $300 then I won't be gettin one. DX3. Nice. I woulda done the DX3R or if it was released back then, the DX3S because of the telemetry system. Good for keepin motor temps.

A'course, it helps me out. Not like you're soliciting.

I've checked out both those stores; I actually planned to buy from RCPcrawlers if I do not get a Tower gift certificate for Xmas.

Surprisingly, I haven't had one overheat issue. For the amount of stress and power this motor has, I'm astonished it doesn't even get warm to the touch. Maybe once I add a better NiMH set or LiPo set it'll get warmer, but it hasn't yet.

I know for a fact that he is running a Novak Goat BL package which ranges from 150 to 250 USD around me. This is motor/esc wise. Also he is running a Spektrum DX3.0 if I am correct. 3.0 right or is it the 2.0. Almost positive it is the 3.0

Amazingly. This is my first crawler and I had no prior experience with them; I can easily crawl over just about anything I put in front of it as long as I chose the right line. For a first timer, it's an amazing platform.

Where did I get my electronics from? Lemme make a list:

1. First transmitter and receiver, Futaba 2PH with two S3003 servos, $52.99..
2. First motor and ESC combo, Novak GOAT, $199.99.
3. First servo, HiTec HS645MG, $35.99.
4. Second servo, HiTec HS645MH, $35.99.
All electronics above purchased at Towerhobbies.com.

1. Second transmitter and receiver, Spektrum DX3, $109.00.
All electronics above purchased from private owners.

None of the Axial AX10 sets (ARTR, Kit or RTR) come with a battery or charger. The RTR comes with a motor, ESC, 2-channel radio and servo. The ARTR comes with only the prebuilt chassis; you'll need to purchase a radio set, motor, esc and servo. The kit comes as a kit. You must build it all from pieces and purchase all your electronics; which is the route I took, but back then they didn't have the ARTR or RTR. Even if they did, I still would have gotten the kit. It's a great way to learn the ins and outs of your RC.

Oh, sorry. Misinterpretation on my part.

I purchased my charger (Hobbico Quick Field Charger MKII) and my batteries (Venom 1600 and Venom 3700) seperatly. I'm sure you could find a package deal somewhere online or at a local hobby store, but from my experience, it's cheaper to purchase them seperatly.
