Axial SMT10 Upgrade Series - Grave Digger - Part 1 - Transmission and Power

Grave Digger Upgrade Part 1: Transmission Gears, Transmission housing, Spur Gear, and Motor

• Aluminum Transmission Case
• SSD RC Steel Transmission Gears for SCX10/Wraith/SMT10
• Xtra Speed HD Steel Spur Gear 56T/15T
• Hobbywing Quicrun 10BL60 Brushless unsensored ESC
• HobbyStar 4-Pole 3500kv Brushless Waterproof Motor

Finally got to kick off the upgrade build. The Grave Digger will be getting the upgrade treatment first, as it's my son's.

First thing that needs to be taken care of are the transmission gears and housing.
