|  Black Label Crawlers ~ChopperV2~ XR10
Well after a long break from crawling,I happened to cross paths with Jerry(the DmG). So needles to say I let myself get bit again while I was checking out all the new stuff Jerry had been working on.Shortly after,I picked up an XR10.Then it was time for the BLC makeover.... I knew I wanted to use as much from the kit as I could,but yet be based on the BLC Chopper chassis.After much tinkering and some mods to the original chopper sideplate design.I was able to use the factory skidplate(lightly modified)and the adjustable shock arms.Here is the end result.     I'm really happy with how the chassis turned out.Everthing just fits.Here you can see just how much from the kit I used to get a roller.  Now its time to replace all the unusable plastic and such....I will update specs and pics in this post as things get moving along.I have plans to use some other items from the kit,and will post those up as I get them done. |

Did some more work on the rig today. First thing I done was make use of the factory battery mount by trimming off the back edge and cutting down the mounting holes to just one.  side view  front view  Turned out really well and fits like a glove and super solid..I will be running 850mah lipos so there is plenty of room on all sides. |

I also worked on the electronics box that came with the kit...I am using the sidewinder micros and noticed they fit inside the factory box rather easy with room to spare for the coming bec.So I dug in and this is what I came up with.. Started with this..  I modded the bottom half by cutting off the piece located by the factory opening and then drilled two holes in the opposite end large enough for the bullets to pass through.  After I got that done,i removed the on/off switches and the white wire from each esc and startin stuffin the box....With the first esc.. ..Put the first one in upside down. Then in with the second esc right side up...  Still waiting to get a bec,will post the fully furnished box when i get the bec,but I went ahead and slapped the top on to see how it was gonna fit in the chassis. top view  I am yet gonna do some nifty soldering to lessen the amount of wires coming out of the box. bottom view  Sitting in the chassis.. top view  front  rear  I drilled 4 holes in the bottom to match the four factory holes in the skid to mount it,used some small spacers to shim it how i liked.I am pretty happy with it so far,wanna get the bec in there and see how it all fits..But I think I'm happy enough with it to use it..

YW man. I did a little build thread on my XR. It's pretty crazy the way these things can crawl. Still have my LCC sort of. My son kinda inherited it. Still works great. We've had zero issues with that truck and he beats the snot out of it. You still have your 4PK?? I got the 4PKS when i got my XR and i must say it's one of the best investments ($$) i have made. |
