You can get the 9mm at http://www.avidrc.com/. They are like a dollar a piece. Only need 6 5x9x3 flange bearings. That should help you out a little |

All the info for the bearings is in here Easy 9mm Mod. The only other thing i would do is new links. I put the stock rear links without sliders in the front custom bent in the rear and 30 degree bent links up top. |

It was good meeting you on Saturday, glad to hear you decided on an XR10 Bearings and links are a must in my book. Other nice to haves are the BWD servo mount and steering knuckle arm http://www.billet-works.com/bwd_xr-10_upgrades - the stock mount is fairly flimsy, I bent it in half over my thumb with 2 fingers and not much effort. Crawler Innovations servo guard: http://crawlerinnovations.com/index....=products&id=8 I also run the low clearance front links and t1e high clearance rear links from here. All the Vanquish Products goodies http://www.vanquishproducts.com/ If you get the VP knuckles you would not need the BWD steering arm. Get good tires. Down here Sedonas or Rovers, or a combo of the two with Sedonas up front work best. It is far to high traction here for pin tires and Miramar would tear them up fast. The coquina rock is jagged and grabby. And foams to put in those tires : http://crawlerinnovations.com/index....=products&id=2 |

Are the t1e front and rear lower links the correct length for the stock chassis? Is there a reason you run the low clearance links up front instead of the high clearance ones?

you have to add a combination of revo and jato rod ends plus 5-10mm spacers here in there to get here sitting at exactly 12.5 ..... but they do work | |

Ok, I kinda thought so but wasn't sure. Thanks! I don't have any way to bend up some custom links and those t1e high clearance rear links look nice and are reasonably priced. Any other suggestions besides those, or are they my best bet for pre-made links? |
