Some homemade double density foams Heres it's almost ready to run !!! See U soon for some DaHu News ! (next week it will be ready to fight the rocks if everything go perfect !)

Looks very wide.. You could narrow the stock xr wheels instead?

I don't have the XR stock wheels ! My wheel are not finished yet, I have to change some little things ! For the moment, 15mm wide seem good... the inner part of the foam is really hard so it stays correctly in place ! |

I'm waiting for availability... I've just seen that blue monkey released a new style of weights ! I think It's good idea to wait a few days/weeks |

Hi Everybody ! I did a little work yesterday evening... mounting VP gearboxes & hardened gears... - lightweight - or not lightweight getting the gears weight compared is funny... I happened to include all the electronics in the chassis... conclusion : there's too much wire Fully equiped 1433g only ! Adding 546g for the wheels... Total weight of 1979g (4.36lb) ready to run... it's ot that bad ! Front/rear ratio :62% - 38% It's not finished as the wheels need to be modified a little bit & I'm waiting for knuckle weights... but I seems to be good start ! |

That's an interesting chassis. Impressive RTR weight! If you plan on comping you will have to switch to wheels with a narrower offset. That wide track width will hurt you a lot in comps. |

those wheel are not the final one, they'll be modified - again - soon ! (I'm waiting for custom rings made by John from Fubar Crawlers that will solve the offset problems !)

| Re: Elpi'z new rig... the X-DaHu-10 such a joke when people send off their gears to get lightened..and your photos prove it!. its insane how people really think that extra gram will change something. i could see if it was something that was way up high on your chassis or something, or something that would make a huge difference(like 5+oz). but other than that its ridiculous. that chassis is intense |
