'84 Bronco II
El Chingón
Damn it, I made the mistake of looking in here and drug the old AX10 RTR out of hibernation and started dicking with it. Now I am already pissing away money to upgrade it
Basically stock aside from the aluminum link upgrade kit from Axial, 55T motor to replace the original 27T, 10 tooth pinion, and 2 of the "green" springs and 2 of the original "blue" spring to help keep the torque twist in check. I've been running it without foams pretty much forever and decided to put water in the front tires. Made a great improvement for free. The stock wishbone uppers are both blown out. I fixed the rear one quick and dirty, but there wasn't a super easy way to fix the front one so I just ran with it and the front axle flopping back and forth
I ordered these on eBay to convert it to a true four link front and back. I figured I can't go wrong for aluminum and under $20 delivered :
Next I think I need to upgrade the shitty stock servo. It doesn't have any where near enough power and I can't hold my lines because it won't steer (and won't actually turn the knuckles to lock without playing with the steering trim knob). Any suggestions for cheap upgrade options? Likewise the stock ESC isn't smooth at all and doesn't have a drag brake, so that is probably the next thing. I don't want to go too far down the rabbit hole since I'd probably be better off buying new pretty quick. Those SCXIII look pretty bad ass...
