    Just plain old nsdrc rs100. They've been sold out so I pre ordered one. Website said pre orders would ship on the 23rd. They just posted another update on ig saying it's still delayed though

    Gotcha, I thought only the backplate was backordered and the special edition servos.

    Damn, that sucks.

    Working on the body's paint today right?!

    Betting I could've gone C-Bolt with the regular chassis too?

    The links on your setup makes it look more like the comp rigs I see online.

    Looking at mine too I could've gotten away with the non xl version but would probably need to use a different body

    I believe he's running c10 front and rear.

    Bro, that would look so good with your paint scheme. Cherry on top for sure

    To me, that'd be correct if moving forward/up

    But I also don't know what I'm doing :violent:

    I'd assume driver front/rear just based off other asymmetrical tires I had.

    I have no idea and don't have confidence that Goodyear did either when they designed the wrangler mtr.

    The issue presents itself when you orient the tires for the passenger side

    You'll have the tighter pattern on the inside (correct) but then the thread cut outs are in the opposite direction (incorrect)

    That's the issue with my tires

    4 wheel steer. Run them both directions. :cool:

    Turns out those cheap tires, although small, are really grippy. Putting them on the AX10 brought back the challenge. I shortened the WB by 18mm, and finally after over two decades, decided to implement the rear steer axle that it came with. Had to find the DX4C manual to learn how the mixing works. Swapped RX's with the UTB to get the needed channels.
    next is to replace that noodle of a tie rod. Rear steer is no good if the thing just bends.

    I have the original drag link, gonna see if I can cobble up this skid for a tie rod.

    Do the xr10 mod and get that sweet sweet high angle on the front. Best mod I did to my original scx10.
