Mmmm...Cake! 🍰 I got to finally drive the axe system yesterday when I took my Capra out for 1st time.. really impressed with how smooth it was and how awesome the drag brag performs. Was worried about the lack of feel some people have complained about but had faith in how much you had praised the system, No worries mate it was the bees knees! Capra was sweet too. Except my son hi-jacked it. Lol..! Love the channel 👍👍

Mick D awesome. Yeah some people look for the bad in things because bad news and criticism gets views. Glad you got the Axe in there. It’s a really good setup.

Mick D, yep the AXE 3300 in my TRX-6 is crazy smooth. AXE makes descents fun instead of “just dealing with.” I first tried a $115 Holmes CrawlMaster Pro 550 10t in it. That had a slower startup with 9t pinion & awesome drag brake. But the AXE system makes it look primitive and less capable. AXE also doubled the “sweet spot” for this truck.

@ExocagedRC5 жыл бұрын
John Underhill I haven’t tried that servo on the Axe but I’m pretty sure it would be ok, the new Axe is rated to 4S. Now if you want to volt that servo up past 6v then you’ll need a bec and a bypass around the receiver. Stock shift and diff servos are not good past 6v. I didn’t have to rebind anything. Just a simple esc calibration got it working

@blindj5 жыл бұрын
Watching the trx6 makes me wonder if it is just the length of the vehicle or the 3rd axle that make it so capable? How well do you think it would perform without the middle Axle and tires? I almost think it would be very similar. However I could be totally wrong too. Great video like always.
@ExocagedRC5 жыл бұрын
BLIND J the dual rear axles really help this truck out. The added length really hurts it on a competition course. Without the middle axle it would just be a really long wheelbase truck that would get high centered way too easy.
@blindj5 жыл бұрын
@@ExocagedRC yeah I can definitely see it having a hard time on a competition course with the tight turns or needing to put your truck on a specific line. I was just thinking the long-wheelbase probably helps it out quite a bit on some climbs and descents. Just like any RC there is a give and take. Where the long-wheelbase may help it out in some situations but hurt it in others.
