Yep mine came in a box too Lots o bags lots o screws My BWD Care Package..... Axles assyblmed with some 45t Holmes Power....now time to tear apart to add upgrade to rear axle first. Pics of the BWD axle Upgrade package Here's a shot of the Delrin Electronics Tray as well.... BWD Wedge chassis Sides Assymbled And as a roller.......... Belly Clearance shots Sorry for the Quality of some of the pics but that will do for nowThe truck is finished and in trial mode right now will hope to get some better shots of it this weekend in action at Disney Oklahoma. I have driven all my local lines that i normally drive with my berg and with Xr-10 wedge chassis and links I'm very pleased with the first run of the chassis and the way it handles and it weighs in right at 5lb mark but hoping to lose some more weight shortly though.......with another BWD upgrade Till next time its time to hit the rocks Hope all enjoy the thread so far and would like to thank all that made this build possible Last edited by chad30w; 09-27-2010 at 07:26 PM. |

I saw the xr-wedge dealyo on the bwd site today. Almost sold on one once they're available. Glad to see you built this one to report how it does! Looks awesome!

Nice build Chad...after running mine a bunch, with no changes other than springs and a few bling parts (and some axle bullet proofing), it is going to be my 2011 season comp rig for sure. Mine will be at Crawlapalooza for those wanting to check it out and demo it.
