I got the creepy crawly bug when I started on my AX24 build, but waiting on parts is really frustrating
Axial AX24 build
So in the meantime my LHS had a good price on the Danchee Ridgerock. After watching some tube stuff it seems this rig punches way above its weight.
OOB it was a floppy mess but with a few tweaks (also from the tubes) it really woke up.
Did the tummy tuck and spring pen mod. Moved the ESC/RX to the front angled part of the frame.
Stock tires were not that good so I put on a set of Amazon HobbyPark tires, an imitation version of the OG Prolines. Reused the original foams instead of the HobbyPark ones. A bit smaller but gives a little more "squish".
Stock servos were a little weak so on went some 35kg ones from the parts pile.
Added some shock keys and 15mm hub extensions to give a better stance and clearance.
With the shock keys on the original body wouldn't fit so I slapped on a cheapo body from Goodwill- yes, it isn't an Everest but at least it's a Redcat
It's set up to use a number of different battery sizes.
Next is to add some weight and maybe some Everest 10 hi clearance links.
If anyone else has one chime in- what kind of mods, thoughts and ideas you have.
