x2 I was planning to do the same thing if I ever did the xr conversion. Never liked how exposed the servo is on top of the plate.

Looks great!

All because of the awesome skins!!

just a little update, ran this thing through about 80 gates this weekend 1st (hardcore crawl) with Badd and a couple other fellas and I can say its amazing!! I need to fine tune the shocks a bit but it will pull some crazy lines, heck it will do somethings my 2.2p truck struggles with.. At 4.1 lbs and no knuckle weights I just wished my driving skills were as sweet as the rig!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More to follow with some more steering mods and felsenfest lockers

Ok there was mention of a new servo/battery plate setup...where's it at?

[hbj069]

Well not new, just improved, quicker battery change, less weight, bta tierod, gotta finish the extended steering radius before I can get completed pics.

[ittybitty]

Oooo...I like to see how you worked out the BTA and kept your servo and battery setup

Axle shafts? Lockers? Both? What?

[hbj069]

Working on a solid full length axle, with felsenfest locker.

[TEDROCKZ]

Tube(Creation Fab) mod done to the rear axle? Would be easier being you could take the axle housing apart with the lockouts still on it.
Anyhoo interested in seeing it

[hbj069]

Yup cf tubes installed, xr10 axles came up a little short to lock down in the locker. Will post up when done.

[Pdog7]

Lets see some pics of the new and improved steering. I got mine together and want to see how you did the steering. Thanks

[hbj069]

Pdog, send me your e-mail addy, gotta keep it secret for a couple of weeks

I have CREEPERBOB cutting me two short XR axles. I have EGRESSOR's lockers too. How much longer do the shafts need to be to reach the set screw? Were they both too short?

Bump for updates to the sweet steering set-up.
