ax-10 build

Hi my name is nick this is my first post and for my birthday i got $501 and i am going to buy a axial ax-10 and i am going do use my old tq3 radio and get the novak 55turn combo. I am going go get pro-line flat iron tires(or just memory foam) the rock craw;ing chevy c-10 body is there any other things that would be good cheap hop ups that i should put on while building? I am 11 so take it easy on my if i am slow and this will be my first kit.

You will probably want aluminum knuckles and rear lockouts. I broke my rear knuckles pretty fast. Otherwise the shocks suck but will work at first. Everything else is pretty solid- axial did a great job when they made the kit.

Also, pick up a set of lockers. The Axial sintered metal or any aftermarket will do. The aluminum ones in the kit eat out pretty fast.

thanks you is the 55t novak crawler set up good? and do the rock lizards grip up and also are the foam really solf or would i cut them star pattern or jsut go with memory foam

Don't use the stock tires or body for that matter. Get some Losi Rock Claws or Proline 2.2 Badlands. Bent links, etc are good for it. Check out www.rccrawler.com/forum for a TON of Axial info.
