You need to have a pretty good understanding of link geometry, and how moving the mounting points will affect performance. There can be a lot of trial and error involved. That is why most people prefer to buy a competition chassis these days. I didn't run bent links on my SWX because the lower links are short. Using short links with a long chassis skid plate is similar to running a short chassis skid and long bent links. Both provide a little extra ground clearance.

How comes that the Mamba Max ESC is good for crawling??? Any custom firmware? Bender, three more shots for you: - I don't get what's the difference and the pros of that upper link mount on the rear axel if compared with the AX10 standard mount. - Have you ever tried the full drop setting on the shocks? - Any comments on your dig unit? Checking your clips, it seems to work ok. Any special comment or suggestion about using a dig? A huge "keep crawling" to everybody from Madrid... :) Rick Hello crawlers.

My 8 yr old son and I have been having some heated competitions over the winter. I guess we need to start working on them a little. It is hard for be to show up at the hobby store with a stock crawler. Nothing I own tends to stay stock. LOL Keep up the good work guys. Bender nice work you are doing.

I am putting together my third Axial crawler now. I left the world of full size crawlers in September when I sold Blue Torch but crawling is still in my blood. Dan Nice write up and video.

Then I mounted a single body post to a chassis standoff out front. I just used a couple stock Axial body mounts bolted to the chassis in the rear.

I usually drill two 1/8" holes in each wheel about 180* from each other. I do have breather holes in my wheels. I usually drill two 1/8″ holes in each wheel about 180* from each other.
