Everyone should build at least one kit in their lifetime; it gives you a better understanding of how an RC goes together and how everything works. Btw, if you're using a power driver, make sure you finish snugging up the screws by hand, to avoid stripping out the plastic. And when assembling the o-rings in the body of the shocks, use a little grease (like Associated Green Slime) to help seal them against leaks. Speaking of which, I love the o-rings installed in the shock caps as the caps were the real culprits when the older stock shocks leaked 👍 As for ride height, softer springs should do the trick but in the interim, fuel tubing or a pen spring under the piston should effectively lower ride height. A really good kit from Axial and a welcome addition to the lineup. Kits give you the flexibility to choose your shock fluids, set up the truck and choose the electronics YOU want! Way to go Axial 👍👍

Obviously Mr exocaged has built many kits but for new folks I highly advise seating tiny eclips with the whole work piece in a gallon Ziploc. Those things love to jump to light speed with zero warning! 😆

To keep cost down I done a pen modification and got the shocks to 90mm on front and angled the rears to lower it. Yet to know how it does but that’s the way I lowered the truck. Another great axial build kit and a fan of the straight axles. Another great video 👍

Excellent video, I saw it completely and it helped me a lot, especially to understand my basecamp better. One question, how much silicone Wt does the basecamp have? My shock absorbers have silicone leaks, is there any way to fix it?

Hi, I need your help please. Can you tell me if your 56t spur has play in the box ? Mine has a bit more than 1mm play...talking about sliding. Btw. mine is the Basecamp anniversary edition. Love your vids...thank you 👍

hi Sir in terms of value -what will be in your opinion a better one to get the pro kit for its price vs this one ? what would be a better value?

depends on if you want a more capable trail truck or a straight comp truck

Well, this opens the door for another kit with portals, I like both styles of axles, but my favorite combo right now, oddly enough is straight front and portal real. Gotta use an Element front or a heavy trx portal rear to get the rotations right.

I wish there was an easier way to get the ar45ps without having to buy a whole rtr or kit. And trying to buy and peice the axles together from scratch sucks. Like come on axial just release some axles only for us builders.

@@ExocagedRCCould you use a ar45 portal in the rear of this kit? I'm wanting to make something like Sam but for less money on the axles lol 😅
