  • Axial Racing AX10 Scorpion ARTR Rrci Feature
    AXIAL Racing AX10 SCORPION ARTR RRCI feature BY PETER GRAY Factory assembled, ready for radio right from the box As it turns out there is an actual ‘Rock Racing’ club in the USA where instead of crawling over rocks they see just how fast they can traverse a normally highly technical and challenging trail and it’s a full throttle, all action adrenalin pumped division of the rock crawling section, but not for the faint hearted. Crashes and breakages are a common sight and all part of the appeal for the bloodthirsty spectators! So maybe we were a little unfair on the Rock Racer, expecting it to rock crawl straight out of the box. Well now, having seen the response to the AX10 in all its guises and the most popular options people select from the vast range of hop ups, Axial have now produced an ARTR (Almost Ready To Run) crawler, with many of the option parts included to give you the best head start in the world of rock crawling possible. It is factory assembled and ready for radio, easily the quickest way to get some serious rock crawling performance. So let’s take a closer look and see what Axial have ALMOST READY TO... improved, and if we might make it even better with a couple of simple mods and a few of the more popular Axial options still applicable to this uprated version of the already impressive AX10. THE FUTURE IS ORANGE The huge truck bodyshell is the biggest restriction to articulation the C of G in the design, so the new Axial has a Lexan Tuber bodyshell, and ground clearance, not to mention squeezing down tight ravines for maximum clearance, massive articulation and minimal weight or side slipping a rock face, so the new RTR Pro version comes with a penalty, keeping the C of G as low as possible, a smart move indeed.

  • Let's Get Crawling
    Let’s get crawling August 13, 2019 Myles Cartelli, who works in weapons fabrication services at the Laboratory, eases his modified 1994 Jeep Wrangler into a riverbed, using the four-wheel drive to dig through the mud and rocks and into the water. After creeping out of this obstacle, it’s time to tackle an even more difficult one. Heavy duty, flexible tires crawl onto a series of boulders, with Cartelli easing the vehicle’s chassis over the rocks while allowing the Jeep’s customized differential and lifted stature to flex without having the 40-inch tires rub along the fenders. “I’ve always been into big trucks and dirt bikes, anything mechanical,” Cartelli says. “Back in the early 2000s, this sport of rock crawling started getting a little more popular. A few of my buddies started modifying their four-wheel-drive vehicles, and with my skills in welding and fabrication, I knew I could do the same. And that’s how it started, this evolution into modifying and customizing these vehicles for off-road trails.” Off-road rock crawling is an extreme form of off-road driving, one that uses customized vehicles to overcome natural obstacles. For Cartelli, it’s both the driving of these vehicles and their customization that he enjoys equally. Myles Cartelli hard at work in his shop at home. A lifelong fascination with fabrication Long before he started modifying and driving four-wheel drive vehicles, Cartelli knew he wanted to be a fabricator. “My dad was an ironworker here at Los Alamos,” he recalls. “He started up here in 1975 building racks for the underground tests at Nevada.

Design of Three and Four Link Suspensions for Off Road Use By Benjamin Davis * * * * * * * * * Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of Mechanical Engineering UNION COLLEGE June, 2017 1 Abstract DAVIS, BENJAMIN Design of three and four link suspensions for off road motorsports. Department of Mechanical Engineering, Union College ADVISOR: David Hodgson This thesis outlines the process of designing a three link front, and four link rear suspension system. These systems are commonly found on vehicles used for the sport of rock crawling, or for recreational use on unmaintained roads. The paper will discuss chassis layout, and then lead into the specific process to be followed in order to establish optimal geometry for the unique functional requirements of the system. Once the geometry has been set up, the paper will discuss how to measure the performance, and adjust or fine tune the setup to optimize properties such as roll axis, antisquat, and rear steer.
