Wow. That is some sick belly and lower link clearance! Very impressive. I seem to be having a hard time getting better then 3" on my mostly stocl chassis.

Is this the setup you were running today? After you let me drive it I want mine just like it.
Also did you limit the shocks at all? You said you wanted to run the longer rod ends on the chassis end of the rear uppers, but it causes the lowers to hit the uppers way before the shocks fully compress. Thanks again Chad

Oh yeah! Iam the other guy that got the most killer deal. Thanks Don and Chad for a killer setup. I will be tearing the XR down very soon for the transformation.

I still am blown away at the quality and function of the setup. Good job BWD. NWARC watch out

Any time Dustin I know you'll be whooping up on them guys at your local comp with this guy. The fuction and quality of the parts and ease of assymbly make this kit like no other. I only got to drive the truck for and hour or so thursday at disney before the bearing failure And that's all i needed before i decide the berg was on hold and time to fix this rig to run at Palooza. thanks to Kevin I got my bearings and got them installed and went back out for another pack or two and It was amazing how dialed the truck was with a simple spring change. Everyone says the shocks with the Xr are junk but i beg to Differ not a leak out of any of them after some brutal courses this weekend at Disney. The only problem out of the truck Saturday on comp day was a front motor failure, replaced it and was back in action and managed to pull of 8th place which I'm very proud of with a new truck and new 4pk and the first comp with the two combined hopefully Don, Rottoenbelly, and SVEN will post you guys some cool pics in here to see with the rig and new skin

I have had leaking issues with one but I think I screwed up when I built it. I think the bladder got sucked into the shock so it's not providing a seal at the cap. I talked to one of the guys in my area and he said he'd just throw the shocks off of his my way cause he's putting losi's on. These XR10 shocks are some of the nicest, smoothest shocks I've had.

I can honestly say I bEAT THE TAR out of the truck this weekend with out a second thought drove it just like i woulda drove my berg. On one course it was so wedged and made the most god awful pop i didn't even hesitate and picked the truck up for my repair, and found out it was just the body that brokeEveryone around heard it and thought there went some axial gears i just picked my body clip up put it back on and back in action
