nope, no build thread on the xr10, i've got a BWD Berg V2 wedge chassis with xr10 axles and man it works. it actually looks like the BWD thing chassis which is also a nice chassis. here is a few pics of it though.

I had this brand new Dynamite 20T motor sitting around, guess i'll try it out, may be too high turn but what the hey it doesn't hurt to try, put a 12T pinion on it to gear it down.

Went ahead n got me a spur gear cover to keep shit out, spent 1/2 hour messing with it before i figured out that it wouldn't work with the trans mirrored so i had to mirror it back to install it. Also thinking of ordering up some Junfac driveshafts for more strength and for a little more clearance, seem to be wanting to barely touch the frame when flexing and the Junfac's are a little smaller diameter than the scx10's.

Finally gettin' back to my build, added a little width to my 1.9 wheels with some extras i had left over from some other widenings i've done. If you trim off the original beadlock ring it allows you to use full size automotive 1/4 ounce weights.

| Re: Motoj550's Wraith axled Cherokee build
i did a set of the 1.9 axial 8-holes last year and used the front sides of the rim and just kept ahold of the rest of the rim figuring i'd use them for something else. well for this project i just cut the back side off the extra wheels i had left over and CA glued them to the back side but just found out last night the rim hits the steering knuckles on the wraith axles, so now i'm gonna have to do the VP 225 hub mod, prob should of put extra wheel width on outside of rim instead of inside of rim but was wanting to keep tires tucked in as much as as i could.

Finagled the Wraith interior in, just had to cut a little clearence for the spur gear cover. Gene and Paul fit right in, just had to take off their lower legs because their boots heels to long, also had some help from their bandmates too.

Found a set of the white 1.9 axial beadlocks and dyed them with orange and just a touch of black mixed in. Looks like there gonna come close to matching my fiery orange Pactra paint. Widened them and as you can see a 1/4 oz. weight fits perfectly now.

Dang! Those 8 holes look like they're gonna match perfect! Nice job on the widening of them as well. Im gonna have to try that on my next set of wheels.
