Default Little Blue

I picked this up off Will "willipmartinni" a few weeks ago on the for sale topic. This rig was build extremely well, I'm really liking this rig so far Thanks again Will

Simple courier



Once I got it I put a fresh coat of silver on it


Got the XR Mod done on the front axle and was still able to use the BTA steering that was sent with it.

very nice!

so about the XR MOD... can it be done with just 1 pair of front shafts for the XR then the knucks? I know you need to cut/grind but do you need two (2) long shafts? or just 1stock package of them?


thanks

keep up the great work on that great rig you have there!

I'm using VP wraith and XR front C's and Knuckles, on the shaft I used a pair of XR universals and cut them down 11mm. It was really easy. You gotta have beef tubes inside to hold everything tight.

Here's where she sits

I got all the electronics in and she's running, just waiting on a few parts and it's a done deal.

Cool rigs, I like them both. Are they both yours?

They both look not too heavy and capable.

They were both built by "willipmartinni" and the copper truggy "project to much thinking" belongs to a local buddy of mine FOR NOW! I plan on taking it off his hands the secound he's ready to part with it.

I wouldn't blame you, by the way, tell your friend Will to clean his camera.

Everything looks dirty, while in your picture the trucks are clean.

Is the xr10 mod worth it? with having to buy new c's, knuckles and universals? How hard is it to mod the xr10 universals?
