I just built my FT kit and it comes with parts to run both saddle pack and stick configurations.

Really happy with how smooth everything went together after just building an Axial Kit (wraith).

I did put 7k front diff with 5k rear, the only downside is all of my shocks leaked trying to run emulsion style so I will either be buying trackstar orings or going back to bladder. I had 27.5w front and 25w rear, I am going to prob. go back to bladder and drop the oil weight in front and rear some.

The FT chassis brace held up just fine, I was actually nose diving alot, and towards the end of the day I basically had no shock oil left lol......... I don't know if its because I switched from a 4000kv pro4 to a 4600kv pro4 but like stated earlier I did not have to mess with the slipper setup at all. I will break it down in a bit and see if the pads got glazed or not......... I know one thing I'm loving the FT setup with saddles and the new clutch setup thus far......
I'm building my ft kit this weekend, and have a pro4 4000 on its way.. so I hope its the kit being good, and not you going from 4000 to 4600....

I have a mmp and 5.5 novak velocity sitting in a 44.1 that hasn't been off the shelf in months also built a wraith kit last and look forward to building a well lined out associated kit did an rc8be before the wraith and the difference was astounding.

Axial makes cool stuff, and I really like their products I have bought. But they really need to step it up on the delivery and fit/finish of their kits.

Can I use SC10 2WD wheels on the SC10 4x4? And do I use front or rear 2WD wheels?

finally got my factory team kit built after disassembling it twice to get my RX8 to fit! Now just waiting on the Orion 5500 saddle packs to get here so I can try it out!

hey guys...i was driving my sc10 the other day and somehow the antenna got ripped off, first the outer casing ripped off about 3/4 of the way down, and like an idiot i didn't do anything about it so it ripped the antenna wire out. now when I'm driving the car seems to go out of range, if I'm a ways away it will either cut out, or the throttle will stick (which i assumed was from the missing antenna). i looked on amainhobbies.com for an antenna and all i found was the casing...is there a certain site to get the antenna wire, or how would i go about getting a new one so my truck stops acting up?

If it's a 27mhz radio then you can open up the rx and solder a new wire where the old one connects but you have to make sure you cut it to the exact same length. If it's 2.4ghz then you have to buy a new RX. They use coaxial wires that are very hard to replace.

sorry I'm pretty uneducated with this, but is a RX the little box that lights up green when the car is on and says XP TRX401-ss 2.4ghz 4CH on it?

Anyone got any idea why I keep blowing one of the front shock bladders out? Been running RCshox 2 stage pistons in FT shocks for a couple months with no problems. Running 25wt oil and bladders with bleed screw removed (RCshox recommended setup). Everything looks fine when putting it together. Big race weekend and need to get this sorted out. Thanks in advance for any help/insight.

Um did you make sure you got all the air bubbles out, are you adding any rebound?

I always work out the bubbles and then let them sit for a while after filling to get all the air out. Zero rebound as well. It is only the one front shock. It blew out twice at practice today after months of smooth running.
