The Axial AX10 Scorpion is a ready-to-run rock crawler designed to be competitive out of the box. This guide covers essential setup procedures such as relocating batteries over the front axle for better weight distribution and adjusting tire flex using inner foam or weights.
Detailed tuning instructions are provided for shock absorbers, allowing users to adjust damping characteristics (thinner/thicker oil) and spring rates to suit different terrains and driving styles. The manual also includes information on final drive gear ratio calculations.
The manual states that a standard 7.2V stick pack can be mounted on the battery/radio tray.
Ideally, you want the bulk of the weight to be over the front axle for better performance.
You can use the formula Final Drive Gear Ratio = 1/((pinionSpur) X .13).
