Tiny trucks are entirely about wants over needs, so whatever makes us happy, right? Tinkering and making the rigs into exactly what I want is what I like best about the hobby. Curious to see what the final version of the Pro looks like.

morning gents😊

front unloading on climbs, shorter springs, center band strap, more anti squat etc... or a combo of them, its just the fine tuning. the rear hop is lack of front traction no to little weight on front tires causing very tiny contact patch with no pressure behind it. more noticeable in 0% as tires turning equal speed vs underdriven.

I think everything you've got here comes down to the 10 Pro shocks. Like 8 out of 10 Axial releases, they simply don't fit. Needs a shorter shock. Not leaking would just be a bonus.

Great video Mr C! The pro looks good but after you do more weight reduction it's gonna be better. Very peaceful and quiet at the canyon this morning , perfect for coffee and mushing a rid on the rocks.

I wasn’t even considering the Pro for my next build but it seems to deserve another look.

Its so easy to get the OD/UD that we want, if they were able to think before designing. Make a gearbox that switches between 0% and 12% UD. You want more? Add it to the axle, and then you have the 12% UD on the axle, plus the 0% and the 12% of the gearbox, making (if im correct) switchable 12% and 24%. Want more? add more OD to the opposite axle, and you will have (again, idk if im getting the numbers correctly) switchable 24% and 36%. Or maybe put in the gearbox 0% and 24%, and apply the same thing to the axles

Pretty sure this is done. It says what me and many others have been saying. The VRD is better.

I’m working on another project, using the pro carbon chassis, Amazon dig, straight bdxrc axles power wagon half cab. 60 kg servo. I think it would be a great comp vehicle

So nice!

Imo, the pro is meant to run 8/27F and 8/33R diffs. Drives how you would want to it to in zero, and imo the switchable is really a faux dig panic button for when you're not allowed to run it, but you need it for those awkward turns. Converted two of the local trail buddies into cheater rig runners, and I gotta say having way more fun. Think the comp builds are gonna go on marketplace. 😂

Let's hope so.

Flyweight build is slightly different order, Overall weight, weight bias, CG only in a way to affect the first two (includes adding weights as needed) sprung v unsprung is really not really on the mind as you already flyweight the unsprung. IMO if you are going to flyweight, no more added weight, lose all the weight wheels/inserts. Then scale it for bias/cg if removing that wheel weight plus the 12oz gearbox sub 5lbs i would say. And your knuckle weights now are going to be enough i would think.

@CrawlerCanyon

25 күн бұрын

It would be difficult to get this under 5lbs. Would it be expensive? Good lord yes.

Can we somehow get switchable OD between something like 0% & 20% or 5% & 25%? I’d be interested in that for the 10 Pro given how well it seems to do with 0% in so many climbing situations.

@CrawlerCanyon

25 күн бұрын

Increments of 10, I suppose. An 8/27 in the front axle or an 8/33 in the rear would would make it 10/50 instead of 0/40. Both would get 20/60. I still think that low-20s is the sweet spot for versatility.
