|  Matt's XR Beetle Juice V4-10 Build
So, for a christmas present, I got the awesome new XR-10, since ive been crawling a ton lately with my 1.9 comp, so i thought i should move on to 2.2, and didnt feel like messing with the TT of 2.2 Shaftys, so i went ahead and got a MOA style Crawler, and my parents got it for me! Life Started out in tons of plastic bags in the XR-10 boxes, piece by piece, it was a land of searching. it was crazy. In total, i spent about 7 hours and 30min to complete the build!, to bad i dont have my electronics yet.

Save yourself the hassle and do the 9MM bearing upgrade or get some VP bushings, once this is done you will have a great platform to start off with  |

what i might do is get 4mm metal bent links from CKRC. then use the plastic sliders from the stock and try to match it up with the bents
