1r3land's chaotic smash build

[1r3land]

First off id like to say thanks to all the members/vendors I've dealt with on here to make this rig of mine a possibility! It's been a 100% ground up build. Sorry I don't have pics from the actual build, 1) it has been a long build and 2) I have changed it 3 times lol From a regular chaotic Delrin switch, to a chaotic carbon zero and now finally to the chaotic carbon smash!! I've had to work this build in between my regular job, opening a business for my wife and having a second child so... Props to me that it's finally done ( well 95%)lol! A special thanks goes out to some of the fine members I've done deals with ( in no specific order) Chaotic crawlers, Eric @ dlux, Vanquish products, Crawler innovations, Rowdy racing, Paystin , Winnerone23, Nabil, Wicked monkey designs, Ittybitty, Fastfred28, Losicrawler2, jeepindoug, Looneybin, Phinsfan, Szczerba, Eric113, Killerblackbird, got_demo, And I'm sure there is some I'm forgetting! All were very smooth transactions ! Would deal with them all again! Here is what I have:

Chaotic crawlers carbon smash
Chaotic crawlers ti links
Dlux carbon beadlocks
Crawler innovations double deuce 6.0 foams Ottsix voodoo golds
Wicked monkey skins ( waiting on them to come in)
Traxxas big bores, mini t springs & jeepindoug cups
Hitec 7980
Smashed castle sidewinder micros
Brood apocalypse 35t motors
CCBEC
Futaba 4pl

Rowdy racing axle batt mount
Rowdy racing motor mount electronics mount Vanquish front and rear axle toppers
Vanquish front and rear link mounts
Vanquish knuckle, chubs, lockouts
Vanquish knuckle weights
Vanquish trans cases & motor plates

I Just wanted to share it with everyone since I haven't posted a thread of my own, I will try to get more pics soon, once my skins come in and after I send some stuff off for Annodizing. I've just been SUPER busy lately and haven't had much time to take pics.. That new baby takes up most of my time in the evenings but wouldn't change it for the world. Hope everyone likes the pics so far I'm open to suggestions if anyone sees anything they would change on the shock/link placement as well Again, thank you to all the members/vendors who helped me with this rig, it's my 4th xr10 and always wanted to build one like this instead of my previous 3 that were bodied. Most recent tear down when I got my new smash chassis from the awesome guys at chaotic! And Im Super anxious to get these sweet skins in the mail from wicked monkey! I think he did a wonderful job & especially putting up with me changing my mind a few times and then changing chassis! Thanks a bunch Michael

Looks really good!!! Panels are sweet!!! The only thing I would look at changing is your servo. Flip it and try and make the arm more more parallel to the axle. You will love the chassis it just works!!!

Yes ill do that
I kinda just threw it all together real quick one night when my servo came in.
And thank you.
I'm stoked about the skins!!

Work of art! One thing, can you clock your C's back a click or is that out of the question. It looks like they're near neutral right now (as far as I can tell)

Thank you! Those tires sure do help it out

And I think I'm clicked back as far as I can go. I will take a look at that also...
Gonna send off some stuff for Annodizing in the very near future so I'll be tearing it apart in the next few days!

Hmmm, then you might want to think about returning your axle to it's neutral position so you can crank your C's back...that's far more important than rotating the motor up.

looks really nice so far!

Thank you for the info!

How screwed in our ur revo ends?

It does seem that ur front axle is rolled way forward. The upper links bein the cause. I know with mine the servo sits level, maybe even rolled back past level.

The skins look Sick! The set I got from Wicked Monkey Design use some of that metal panel look as well, the green really Sets it off!

Yea I'm gonna look into it, I know that isn't right being set back like that.
It was all thrown together pretty quick just to get it rolling... I can't just let parts sit lol
Once I get all my stuff sent off to anodize then ill dial it all in.
I'll find some time in the next day or so to get that axle leveled out

[1r3land]

Got a pile of VP parts headed to BC Brian for anodizing!
Expecting my skins real soon,
So hopefully in a couple weeks I'll have some sweet progress pics!

[ittybitty]

Might just try turning the upright portion of the VP front upper link mount around. That would help level it out...

Good idea
Ill look at that too when I start putting it all back together when I get all my parts back in!
Thanks!
I'll be sending you a pm soon about what we talked about the other day!

[1r3land]

Pics don't do them justice but I got my skins today from wicked monkey and they turned out great! Can't wait to get them on!
Hopefully I'll get everything assembled this weekend or first of next week!!
Super stoked!
Will get better pics SOON!!

A big thanks goes out to Michael @ wicked monkey designs!!

I'll update u when I get it all back together and everything set up. Currently waiting on parts to get back from anodizing ! I should be getting all of it back within the next couple days!!!
Then I'll throw the axles back together and get some measurements and weight etc etc

I'd like to check this thing out in person some time in the near future.

I can understand that. It would definitely be cool if you could make it to one of our comps, but I was just wanting to check out your truck for myself. I have been looking at this chassis and would like to see one in person.
