Axial Base Camp Upgrades Brass and CRAZY 75% Overdrive

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Those are very clever upgrades/ mods! That incredible you got 75% more rotation in the front than in the rear! Great video brother! Really love test area!😁✌🏻Have a great weekend brother!

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks! 👍

[@RcNickster709]

Now THAT is cool factor. I have been seeing some of these rigs with the higher Front overdrive and I must say they seem to work GREAT!!

[@RoadsideRC]

I am a fan of overdrive for sure, but this ended up being excessive. I think I will keep mine to the 30-40% from now on.

[@johngookinsable]

love the mods. im picking up a set of these knuckles for sure. it solves two of my issue at once

[@RoadsideRC]

Nice! Glad this helped.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I love what you’ve done to this thing

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks!

[@arkansasrcnewbie]

Awesome! I am actually trying to figure out what i can do to get some overdrive in my vanquish portal axles. This was a huge difference!

[@RoadsideRC]

Too much of a difference, unfortunately!

[@BigJimRC]

Great video! Thanks for making the mistakes for us! The weight add I’ll do to my Base Camp, overdrive… nope… until you get it dialed in. Cheers bro!

[@RoadsideRC]

Happy to help! Overdrive is great - you just need to stay in the 15-30% range....not 75%!

[@COAL-CRAWLERS]

How thick is the stock hex?

[@RoadsideRC]

I am sorry, I do not know for sure. I believe it is around 5-7mm.

[@COAL-CRAWLERS]

@RoadsideRC I have a basecamp under the tree... so I'm trying to buy upgrades so I'm ready 💪 😁

[@JonnieB.]

Good stuff Troy! It was comical to see the front drag the rear around. It seems to just skid the rear tires down everything. It seems to perform like a “dig” function turning with that much overdrive.

[@RoadsideRC]

It basically is! You are right.

[@204_mod_shop]

I added a total of 1 pound additional to mine, mainly front biased, and it's still not enough I've been thinking about getting these heavy brass rims that weight a pound each rim/tire combo, so additional 4lbs on top of my 1, should be plenty

[@RoadsideRC]

I'm curious why you think it needs soo much weight?

[@billyb5057]

looks quite an upgrade mate interesting tests on the bench out on the course it looked better but maybe too much overdrive *full watch always 💯Au👍leaving a like*

[@RoadsideRC]

Thank you Billy!

Hello from southeast alaska sweet looking truck bro I hope everything is going well for you today bro

[@TheRCBuildersPost]

Geez the start up on that thing is terrible! Lol. I heard you mention that ISDT esc. Is that what is causing that? I got one in the electronics box to try out. I may never try it out now though lol

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes! I really hate that ISDT esc. It will be coming back out of this truck very soon.

[@TheRCBuildersPost]

@@RoadsideRC good to know. I will not be using it then. Great video as always, Troy!

[@marcconnor4837]

I have 27% in the front it does pretty good I’m thinking of switching them out for the 60%. And if they are to much I’m thinking of taking the 27% and putting them in the back. And that should give me 33% overdrive in the front

[@RoadsideRC]

That should work!

[@fernsolo]

That's insane 👍

[@RoadsideRC]

Someone had to try it!

[@sscobrapride]

affiliate link to that screwdriver?

[@RoadsideRC]

It has done really well for me so far. I use it with MIP speed tips: amzn.to/3rgWmVE

[@jdtII]

What if you take the overdrive out of the axle and leave it in the portals how much of a difference would that be

[@RoadsideRC]

I'd have to go back and look at the previous gear install video. Diff-only was around 12-15% if I remember correctly, so it would take that much back out of it. I have a milder set of portal overdrive gears I will use instead.

[@D.TH.87]

what do i need for 20 - 25% overdrive. And should i but it into rear or front?

[@RoadsideRC]

Here you go - this is what you want: alnk.to/bPdMyvW These gears go in the front to speed up the front wheels.

[@D.TH.87]

@@RoadsideRC Thank you!!!

[@Redneckjames]

It’s almost like it has dig installed

[@RoadsideRC]

Ha! Yes...dig that is stuck on!

[@longcrawler]

hmmm. interesting,...... still interested in your screwdriver ??, link please

@@RoadsideRC Thank you So Much....one more thing, it appeared you had some extra long bits..?? If so where did those gome from.

[@overdosed51]

I honestly can't run anymore than 20% on any of my trail trucks. It's a real disadvantage while on those slick side hills.

[@RoadsideRC]

I haven't really found my threshold. My ECTO runs around 37% overdrive, and I still love it. My Gladiator is also roughly in that range, and it appears to do well. Seems like anything under 12% just isn't doing enough. I bet your 20% is a good balance for most folks.

[@edjunker]

Looks like too much over drive to me. The rear basically did nothing to help in al most all of the obstacles. It really looked like the weight did way more. I'd go back to the 12.5% if it were me.

[@RoadsideRC]

You are right! I won't go all the way back to 12% - I have other trucks in the 30% range and really like overdrive around that amount.

[@KurtsRCs]

Haha it is like you have dig on all the time now

[@RoadsideRC]

Almost!!!
