AX10 first test drive

I walked down to Anchor Head late this morning (about 20 minutes away by foot from where I live) with the Axial in a rucksack on my back. The local radio station had said something about the possibility of 'sunny spells', but evidently none are to be seen here today. Everything was either a bit damp or positively wet, leastwise that which the sea covers periodically, because the tide had turned just a couple of hours earlier. Quite good fun was had nevertheless :-)










The truck is running with a stock Tamiya 27 turn motor (actually one of the ones that came with the doner Clodbuster for the Clodzilla), a Motorsports/Mtroniks RV-20 Sniper waterproof speed controller, and Futaba 3 channel radio, fitted in the hopeful expectation of getting 4 wheel steering arranged at some point in the future. Everything works fine, only the lack of grip was a problem, and that was just the luck of the day. I'll write a few words about the construction of the Axial in my next post.
