[81yotalove]

so im about to order this is my setup:
ax10 artr
rooster crawler esc/ 55t motor
losi 2.4 radio and reciever
hitec hs-7985s for steering

do i need to order anything else? am i missing something?

Batteries, charger, servo horns, other little things like that.

Also, better shocks, a 4 link adapter and an SCX10 skid plate.

i already have all that. im reusing a lot from my losi buggy. and stick packs from the starter box.

Also, better shocks, a 4 link adapter and an SCX10 skid plate.

i'll mod it later i want to run it stock and get some rc crawlin experience then i'll mod it one mod at a time to see what makes the most difference.

but i ordered it lastnight. the artr, rooster crawler, and they had the rovers buy a pair get a pair and came with foams. so i bought those too from rpp i got an email that its been shipped so should be a few days.

[rock_krawler]

Cool, you'll have fun. The torque twist is the only issue I really had with mine. I 4-linked the rear and used the SCX10 skid and that has taken care of it. Have fun with it.

What's you name over on RCC?

-- Edit --

I know it's a little late, but I forgot to mention- you'll probably want to pick up a BEC also.

[81yotalove [OP]]

same name on rcc. i plan to four link after i get some wheel time with it. and about the bec im going to see if i need one. the rooster crawler has an internal bec 6v and 5amps, im only going to be running 7.2 nimh stick packs for now.

[rock_krawler]

That internal BEC might be just fine for now. A bigger battery or servo and you're going to need one more than likely.

I just sent you a friend request on RCC. Work on getting those 30 (meaningful) posts and 30 days, the classifieds are worth it.

[81yotalove [OP]]

yeah im going to make some posts and i'll check out the classifieds for sure. i think i got a pretty good deal though, i got my artr, motor/esc, and a set of rovers for 345 shipped to my door. at my lhs it would have been 380 plus tax and thats without the rovers. i only bought the rovers cause they were buy a pair get a pair. i didnt really need them ya know.

rock_krawler have you tried the internal spring droop setup?

[rock_krawler]

No, I haven't tried a droop setup. I thought I might try it after I have a better chassis and shocks. Mine does OK with the stock stuff and the added TCS 4 link plate, longer upper links and SCX10 skid. I'm still running the original el cheapo tires that come with the RTR. After I finish up my Honcho, I'll focus on the AX10 again.

[81yotalove [OP]]

so i got my package today. im going to hopefully have it running tomorrow. i need to buy a soldering iron and some solder. i cant wait to run it. i hope i can tomorrow, but this is the first electric rc i have had so it might take me a little while to setup.

[rock_krawler]

Right on, that was quick. Just take your time and enjoy yourself. All you have to do is install your electrics, right?

[Flaco]

The rovers are great tires. They out perform everything else I've used. 4 linking is definitely a worthwhile mod that keeps the truck on check when off camber. I'm running a droop only setup with internal springs, it took a lot of tweaking to get it where I wanted it. This might just be because there is so much weight on my front axle.

yeah just the electronics, and i have them installed but i have a question? i dont know if this is normal but with my transmitter on then i turn on the esc the motor spins for a few seconds then just stops sometimes it takes a few second more, but its like there is a delay of power to the reciever from the esc. is this normal? and can i get rid of it somehow?

yeah i'll probably 4 link it after i little while. do you have any pictures of your ax10 and that droop setup?

[81yotalove [OP]]

thanks to everyone who helped me choose what i wanted, i love my axial artr.

[46&2]

Hell yeah, can't go wrong with the ARTR. The Rovers are sick tires. I just had my rig out in the snow and I couldn't believe some of the hills I was able to just creep up without having to use wheel spin to make it up. They are amazing tires for sure.
