Nice, how are you liking the XR again?

sococrawler · 07-05-2011, 07:11 PM

it's only in testing phase for now, i'm seeing how long till i can break it again, although i have learned to just drive it like i bought it!
it's seeming to be very strong and capable right now!

Once you break those HR gears(give it a couple more packs) save yourself the time and money and go rc4wd.

I've been driving the shit out of my HR gears and they are holding up just fine. I was babying it at first but now I drive it the same as I drove my bully and it seems to be fine.

Man, you should try some knuckle weight on that thing! D-Lux makes some nice ones.

He knows the guys a VP, so I think if any knuckle wieghts are going on it will be VP.

You're the first I've heard say that. I've heard the complete opposite...

It is quite the opposite as far as I can see. Both companies have awsome knuckle wieghts.

Nice. Second time's a charm

Did you take that shot with a fisheye lens? It looks short in length and tall in height.

(insert "Thats what she said" joke here)

I think it' just the angle. The grid below doesn't look distorted.

Any body off pics?

sococrawler · 07-09-2011, 10:13 AM

with the v4 chassis i'm kinda on the fence about the shock positioning, but she crawls awesome, when squatted out she's at 12 1/2" so it must of been the angle of the dangle.

gonna get some body off shot's soon and also have a v1 i'm gonna try on it as my buddy stub's run's the v1 and i really like his setup with his xr!

2manytickets · 07-09-2011, 09:17 PM

There are three versions. They are all the same with the exception being the length of the shock ears. The V1's were super short and they never sold them. The V2's are the first ones they sold. V3's are even longer and the ones the they are currently selling.

Wow dude, great capitalization, punctuation and use of spell check!

stubs179 · 07-10-2011, 01:20 AM

This is the difference in length of the V1 and V3. The V1 with the XR shock mounts works awesome.

2manytickets · 07-10-2011, 12:42 PM

what do they measure out to in millimeters. would be nice to know what version i have. mine measured out to 185mm. soco can you put your info up to?

stubs179 · 07-10-2011, 01:39 PM

V1 = 165mm

V2 = 185mm

V3 = 205mm

punctuation and capitalization are over rated. you got me on the spelling of ridiculous. my bad.

Jeepkid · 07-10-2011, 02:48 PM

Lets just give Randy back his thread. No more bitching about what you think is the better product. All I want to see is some body off shots, and some action shots

Keep it coming Randy.
