That sure does look orange!

I like it

Should make Harley proud




Might be worth getting some white links and dying them orange.

I'd even think about a white upper dyed orange.

Irregardless, way cool

nope man i run them in all my stuff except for my 1.9 for space reasons

but this think goes amazingly i love it

[asw27x]

i think if i take some of the material of the links off they will be white (because i did and under nether was white) and then die them orange

Get white delrin then dye it Orange I believe this is 1 bottle sunburst yellow and 2 bottles of vibrant orange . Thanks to Mustangboy_347 for the dye job.

Well YEA we ran this vs his bully and his bully is real low and it did some crzy break overs that my dads couldnt and it sidehilled about the same if not better then his and the steering OMG huge difference

[asw27x]

did some more work on it and found a loose end bell on the rear motor so motors came out and are going to get refreshed (a cut and clean up on them)
and i went in there and moved electronics around and got them lower and i cut a little bit of weight off of it

old weight 5lb's 14oz
new weight 5lb's 10.8oz

Sigh.....possibly. As I get time, I'm looking to redo a bunch on my Bully chassis to help me out a bit.
The XR-10 did go pretty good though, I can't take away from that.

BTW, the motors are HH 540 Torque Master 45T's, not 40T's. They should be getting a recut Wednesday night.

ok guys iv got a question

i know people have been running the HR gears and how has every one been liking them?

[dabbill]

HR gears are not much stronger then stock IMO, I broke HR gears faster then i broke the original stock gears.

[asw27x]

ok guys i did the second screw in the 2 screw mod on the xr-10



and i also wanted to see how well it would stand up

[asw27x]

i took it out and got some pics


and got a sequence of pics of it going up a rock










and a pic to see how big the rock is
