The CRC Battle Axe 3.0 Oval 1/10 Pan Car Kit is completely unique.
The CRC 3.0 generation oval cars do not use much of anything from the
2.0 cars other than the front end. The biggest differences that make
these cars superior to the old ones are the center pivot, rear pod, and
even the chassis plate itself.
The center pivot is now offset left on both cars to improve
drive-off without jacking a bunch of wedge in the car. This allows the
car to have a heavier left front tire which helps the car get into the
corner and roll the center without being too free off the corner.
The chassis has gone on an extreme diet. An incredible amount of
right side weight has been removed, and the old NiMh cell slots have
been filled in to increase left side weight. Overall, the chassis is
smaller and lighter, but have increased left side weight percentage.
Another awesome feature is the ability to add "static" (or "a
fixed amount of") rear steer. All link cars (or "monoball" as some may
call them) have the ability to add reactive rear steer by raising the
front of the links. While this increases steering and response, it can
make the car feel inconsistent or unpredictable depending on how hard
you turn the wheel. Having static rear steer gets the car into the
corner harder without the degree of rear steer changing as the chassis
rolls. This makes the car feel much smoother and more predictable while
making it turn-in like an animal. On many larger CRC Fastrak carpet
surfaces this may not be a huge deal, but on really small short tracks
and especially on "hook-n-loop" type commercial carpets, it's huge.
There are some other cool features as well. The vertical rear
shock tower allows more adjustability of the side shocks without having
to add or remove shims. It also allows for much shorter, stiffer body
posts that help in the overall consistent, predictable feel of the car;
as the body will not flex and move around as much while going around the
track.
Molded, bolt-in battery bumpers locate the pack in place where you
want it and make it so 1 wrap of tape is more than sufficient. This may
not seem like a big deal, but some cars require tape wrapping 3 ways
around the battery, and in multiple layers. This not only looks
ridiculous, it's expensive! good strapping tape isn't cheap, and even if
it was, encasing your pack and chassis in multiple layers of tape looks
awful and reduces ride height, forcing you to raise the whole car.
Both cars come standard with 3 CRC Encore Shocks (money!) and
off-set rear pods with the correct length hubs. This was over $100 worth
of upgrades on the old BA2. Also now standard equipment in both kits,
is CRC's slider pods that are also standard on the Xti road course car.
They make ride adjustments super easy and feature a perfect bearing fit
for a very free axle fit with no play. They do NOT ever move when used
properly.
Nearly everything is adjustable on these cars; wheelbase, width,
shock position, rear steer, roll centers, battery position, shock angle
and more. And both kits now come with a super lightweight foam bumper as
well! This was also an additional purchase for the previous version
cars.
The CRC Battle Axe 3 will come out of the box more track ready,
more consistent, faster, lighter, & overall less expensive than ever
before. There is not another oval car on the market that comes this
complete out of the box within this price range...and is ready to go
from the bench to the winner's circle.
