    I really enjoyed watching your assembly video, although you must be an expert because I don't see any manuals anywhere. Greetings from Italy and thank you very much.

      Hi, thanks for your comment. Glad you liked the video. I am no expert, but I am always learning and gaining experience by watching other tutorials, reading and going through the job myself. This was my 3rd custom crawler build. Thats why I got experienced at assembling the thing. What I do, I do by heart and that way, the job always turns out good in a way or another. Hello from Malta! We are close neighbours. Thanks again👍😀

    Thank you for this video, this chassis seems great, can you tell me how to adjust the wheelbase from 306 mm to 313 mm? should we change the size off the rear links ?

    • @combarccrawlers3948
      @combarccrawlers3948  Год назад +2

      Hi there. Thanks for your comment. To adjust the wheel base, you can unscrew one side of each link and if you rotate the ball joint heads on the ends of each link, they should tread out, extending the wheel base. Then screw everything back together

    I am just now watching the video...a few people has already mentioned the sliders but I wanted to mention the servo mount and suspension links...if you run the servo on the chassis you should have the option to install a panhard link and one only have a 3 link suspension setup. Running a 4 link you would want the servo on the axle

      Hi mate thanks for your comment. With how low I am running the chassis I cannot seem to fit a pan hard bar. I have a problem with ride height. Suspension travel is very minimal as I lowered it but its still sitting high and can not do much about it... have to think on it more.

    Hi noted something strange with the rock sliders I think they are mounted upside down . In that way the edge down is prone to lock to rocks . Just a small detail and these kits have no instructions either .
    Considering the price Plus shipping and waiting at the moment is under 200 but after May 2021 all items will get 18 % VAT and handling charges this will bring it close to an original Axial SCX10 Raw builders kit which sells around 250 locally .
    What about quality such as metals used , steel gears or pig metal gears? and finish , play etc is it worth it over an original ?
    Chinese knock offs sometimes are gems I understand. But it not always the case. The price is to close to a well known original . Thus I’m bit cautious to what I will chose if I want to build a new rig.

      Hi Stan, well about the rock sliders you are right but as said I assembled it all in a "temporary" configuration. I have to adapt its wheelbase and other things to the body I will be getting. A lot of people notified me about the rock sliders but my simple reason I put them that way is because it is advertised like that and the body they advertised, hangs over them. I will be flipping them in the right way now. Price, well I got lucky. Still had to pay customs taxes when it arrived, but depends on viewer's country. When talking about quality and ware, really its not bad at all especially for the price. I immagine it is steel gear because there were no signs of ware after a good run and a bit of abuse. What I had to really take care of is lubrication, mainly greasing everywhere because it does not come greased. I will be doing a video with some details. It needs a panhard bar. There are mounts for it. Otherwise I loved it.

      Survived all the abbuse I put them through till now. The small drive shaft betwwen the trans and transfercase only broke but I had a regular yoke style drive shaft, shortened it and put it in, again survived ever since. This being brushless sometimes I push it hard a bit.

    • @ryano8613
      @ryano8613 3 года назад

      It will not bump steer, it will indeed BIND WHEN THE SHOCK TRAVEL CYCLES. bump steer is from panhard and drag link either not on matched plain, different length from one another or both. With a panhard setup it's scale and that's all. You axle will cycle side to side as compression and rebound occur. The anti squat, link locations and all are very bad on this chassis but to each the own!! Whatever your happy with and believe is working great!! What I once though to be the best I look back and cringe on things I did lol

At this point I had no idea I was getting a power wagon body, it turned out lovely, but I had to remove the sliders, mount the electronics on the transfer case and lower the battery to get the body to fit.

    Comparing to all metal & carbon Axial SCX10 you have tried in ruclips.net/video/ROyxQTeOah0/видео.html . Which one is better?

    • @combarccrawlers3948
      @combarccrawlers3948  3 года назад +3

      Well technically, from a competition side this is better because it has higher ground clearance and obviously the portal axles give it an advantage over the straight axle like the scx 10 has. From a scale side, the scx10 chassis is better because those axles are more scale and better looking for a scale build like my ram or ramcharger builds. Those are both scx10 chassis and they turned out good. This however is more competitive. Depends on what you are going for, scale or performance. I love both. That is why I purchased both😉😁 thanks fir commenting👍👍👍
