I'm sure that you know this by now, but there may be some that don't, so I'm sharing it here. If you buy a C2X now, the front axle comes upgraded with their aluminum truss/upper link mount/ panhard mount, all one piece. It's part number is Z-S2018. It strengthens the axle body, as well as all of the pieces that tie into it. Solid upgrade for the money.

I did some cross referencing of part compatibility awhile back and found that this c2x axle is the same innards as the stock scx10 axle, as well as any parts by SSD will fit this axle since they're virtually the same axle but rebranded. helps save cost on certain parts since RC4WD loves to charge premium for everything

You should try some Snowballs. They are poly style pivot balls(similar to 1:1) that keep the suspension snug, more predicatable, and more planted. They also dont wear on the rod ends like plastic and metal pivot balls, as well as allow a smidge of dampening on impacts and rough driving. I havent rebuilt my suspension in over 2 years.

Always entertaining. Thank you. Really coming along nicely. Just curious why you'd overdrive the front(2.70)over underdriving the rear(3.30)? The stock 3.0 gearing , right? Adding 2.70s to the front could cause torque-twist. Your other mods are spot-on.
@scalebuildersguild

I’m not so worried about torque twist. Out curiosity, if you’re running the rear axle at a lower than stock underdrive, how would that not create exactly the same problem? I’m not an engineer, so really asking!
@tomlucasrccrawlers9108
4 жыл бұрын
@@scalebuildersguild I'm not an engineer either. Just a long time hobbiest...but I know alot engineers. Hahaha Just my understanding is you'd want the torque going to the ground multiplied closest to the ground and not from the beginning which would be at transmission. This is why one sees a geared-down portals having little to no torque-twist(TRX4 and VP Portals as an example) where-as steep gearing at the transmission and freeway gears at the axle like an Ascender(2.70s I believe) has really bad torque-twist. We both know some of this can be somewhat dialed out through suspension tuning....but i'm talking everything being equal. Seen these things on the trail too. Just another thought...the rear is easier to disassemble and reassemble. That's a win-win. Hahaha
