Default Team Debead's Build

Finally! I've had my XR10 since August, and I'm finally ready to post up my build thread. This was my first kit build, first time painting a body, and now my first build thread. I took a lot of time building the XR, going slow to make sure I was doing it right.



Here's what's in it:

Tekin FXR
Hitech 7950 Servo
(2) Integy 45t motors
CC BEC
Losi Gold Springs
Hyperion 1100 mah 3 Cell Lipo
HB White Dot Rovers
Proline dual stage foams
Punk Dig
Traxxas 5x8 bushings to replace stock bearings
Traxxas 4 Channel Remote/Receiver (the one with a true 3-position switch)
Axial Hi-Clearance links (both uppers and lower rears)
Racer's Edge Servo Horn
VP C-Hubs
(2) Monster Energy Shot Motor Guards

I have Avid 9mm Flanged Bearings, but I haven't installed them yet.
Full sets of VP slugs and Axial internal weights on the fronts, nothing on the rears.

This is my first MOA rig and my first time using a dig unit. So far I'm really enjoying the truck and have been placing in the middle of our local pro class, which I'm very happy with since I'm still learning

Pics of the guts:

Cool vid It gave me some new idea's on how to fit the elektronics in my XR10, it is the next step I have to take in my first moa build. Saw you modded the radiobox for the dig, cool iea. I really would like to see a gutshot of your rig, to see how you layed the elektronics down.

I was trying out some different placings tonight, but could not figure it out satisfactory. My setup is similar to yours, I use DX3E+SR300/FXR/Punk dig/CCbec and some small lipo's.

Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone

HSNT - I'm at work right now, but when I get home later, I'll post up some pics of the electronics layout. I know a lot of people have said they don't have room, but I still have plenty of space. I think a lot of that is due to the radio box mod, thanks to Scott and Don Hughes for that idea With the Punk dig in there, my receiver, BEC, Tekin, and batt all fit without a problem.

The XR10 will hopefully keep me far, far away from that club, at least until we do a comp with more than 3 courses, knock on wood

Hey Lisa nice video. Wow you build that fast. If you need your motor plate reamed out I have a drill press and a 9mm ream. I the picture did you put bushings in or bearings. I did the 9mm update allready.

I replaced all of the stock, non-flanged bearings with the Traxxas bushings right off the bat, during the build. So the OG flanged bearings are still in there. Thanks for the offer on the drill press. Whenever I feel like taking everything apart, I'll definitely hit you up. Thanks Matt!

Best video build I've seen on here so far. Doing homework before/during the build sure does make things easier. See ya on the rocks....

Cool Build Video I really like that idea well done.

I like your paint work too simple and clean with a great colour choice.

Thanks a bunch for the gutshots. Wow, that is a really nice spacious E-laydown Looks very clean, I haven't seen many others as clean as yours. I will definatly do something similar, or maybe even copy yours. Great help, thank you.

[edit] Tried it out just yet and it seems the best way is to copy your laydown. Couple of questions if you don't mind.
Did you pad the bottom of the radiobox with foam to protect the circuitry on top of the punk dig ?
How did you secure the tiewrap which holds down the CCbec ? Did you drill a hole for it in the radioplate ?

I would really apreciate if you could help me out some more, thanks.

Sorry it took so long, didn't see the edit to your post til now
Yes I put some foam in the radio box. I think it was a piece that came with the XR10, but I did trim it in half to reduce the height and allow the Punk to fit in there.
For the BEC, there's actually nothing holding it in. The tiewrap is just holding the excess wire together. That bundle is big enough that I can squish the BEC in without securing it with any kind of twist tie or zip tie. I was going to put some double sided tape on the flat side of the BEC, but so far the tight fit has kept it in place just fine.

Nice job on the video. Just came back in from shoveling 10" of snow from the driveway for a second time tonight. We're expecting another 8-10" again tomorrow. On the bright side though, family is heading to Disney next Friday. Can't wait!!! Ohh and the truck looks great too.
