Rig looks dope. you need to put a Wild Willy's driver in there for good measure.

Rig looks awesome.That is same wheel and tire setup I am using and was wondering what compond of sedonas they are and have u tried them out yet.I am trying to really start figuring these things out and noticed I have the white dot medium compound and put vertecs boss claws on and they performed better than sedonas.People really brag on sedonas and didn't know if I needed softer compound and also still using stock foams going to order some crawler innovation foams.

How did I not see this sooner... Love the new chassis, I've got the same brood LE motors in my rig, how do you find them in the xr10?

Cheers

Very nice Bent, do you have the battery in the chassis at the back?

These are the White dot/Soft version (Sedona only comes in White/Soft compound).

I have used the Sedona's throughout last years season.
These are my favorite on mixed rock. Kind of my "all rounder" choice.

On slick/"clean" rock I use cut/modified Boss Claws though.

There's a time and terrain for both of these.
I usually carry Boss Claws, Sedona, Rover White and Rover Pink with me at comps.
Out of the four I find the Sedona to be the most versatile tire.

However for the most part I rely on my cut Boss Claws.
I have come to really like the very predictable feel of the Boss Claws.
It suits my driving style very well

And you will see a dramatic increase in performance when changing to the 5.5" Nova Double Deuce over the stockers.
You certainly haven't seen the best of these yet

The new chassis is performing way better than my "old" Moonbuggy did.

I'm very pleased with the rebuild so far

And I just love my Brood LE motors.

Butter smooth and able to jump big gaps effortlessly

The TP 850 mAh battery is attached to the carbon fiber plate behind the front motor (in between the front links).

Here's a pic of the battery mount:

Beautiful looking rig Bent, I was wondering when I was going to see something like this

. I was just reading your post on the suspension and I ended up doing the exact same thing, was having issues with front tire lift. Love that setup too. Outstanding work

Well done bud you and your crawler were on the game. It was a fantastic weekend your a funny guy.

You will have to leave one rover the wrong direction to the rest all the time now for good luck.

Thanks guys

I'm really pleased with the performance of the truck now.

And to top it off I had the time of my life with some of the nicest people I have ever met

Now I'm just going to make a few very small tweaks before the 2011 Nordics this weekend to try and keep Samuli and the other Finnish drivers at bay.

Wont be easy though meeting them on home turf eagerly looking for revenge

Can't wait

Thanks Mark

Couldn't be happier with the outcome.

I never would've thought I could pull "a double" out of the hat for this one.

The weekend in Germany was absolutely amazing......loved the atmosphere and the people......I had a GREAT time

My thoughts exactly on the Rover.
I guess I have to run it that way for luck now

I ran Boss Claws on Saturday and Rover White on Sunday for the final course.

Both with Nova Double Deuce foams.

Looking back I should have ran Rover White all weekend.
They actually performed better on the slightly dusty rocks......hhhmmmmm......somebody kept
trying to tell me that they did

Who was that ?
