I've been slowly putting time and money into my XR and have finally gotten it to where I like it. Just waiting on my shocks to arrive and I'll be set. specs. TIe Rockshow SS Team Brood 45T LE (Thinking I might switch to 35T soon) Dual MMP Everthing VP (no need for the toppers imo) 7950 Boss Claws on DNA's CC Bec Revo push rod Uppers 4PK RC4WD Gears Chaotic Crawlers Steering Tierod Big Bores (2660) are on the way w/Jeepindoug & mini t's Sit's kind of high with the losi shocks, just under 4.25" I didn't cut to many corners on this build. I Still havn't decided on a my tire/foam set up. I keep wanting to go back to the Sedonas but haveing fairly good luck with the Claws. Time will tell. Some Pic's. I'll get some on the Rock pics up a little later. Last edited by -NB-; 11-08-2011 at 04:43 PM. |

Good start man. Looks good! Try some traxas bb shocks (3.5") and maybe shorten up the upper links in the front. Looks like you need to lower her down about an inch. Keep up the good work man!  |

Looks good...but looks like your front upper links may be too long...hows your castor look?

. Itty is right on the way the caster looks. If you add more caster to it. (tilt the axle backwards). It will steer sharper amd dig better.

That is awesome.  when I saw it it looked like a mini. To bad they don't make an XR18 1.9 MOA Now that would be amazing.

 That would be so cool if they did. That would take out a MRC Pro.

Looking good. So what did you use for the first pics? Was it really a tilt shift lens? Cool effect!

quick update. I got the shock end mod done on the big bores.. makes a big difference. truck is sitting at just over 3.5" at the back of the skid. I'm thinking about getting some new wheels for it, but a little un sure about what I want. Like the VP wheels but want something different. any suggestions that will work with the knuckle weights would be appreciated. I have custom rear weight retainers being made, need to get some weights ordered up for them. I will update with pics soon. |
