As you can see the first upgrade was the front axle battery mount. I tried to make my own and mount it to the VP front link mount. 3 Problems with that: 1st-It broke off after a few comps. 2nd-Because I made it. 3rd-Having it mounted to the front link mount. The battery weight would flop around and loosen the mount, then having chance for the screws to walk out into the gears. So finally I kicked myself in the azz and got a Rowdy Racing battery mount. Waaaaay better and slick as shizzz. Then I got tired of bending rear axles, so I got my rear in gear and purchased some CBRB Custom Titanium Axles Shafts. They needed a little griding to get them to sit cherry, soooooo worth it. Light, tight and strong. |

| Re: Frankenwheely's XR10 ReBuild Tires you say... Well I'm currently running DH's in the front with no extra weight. Now with my fancy new"tares" Voodoos baby! I will also be running the RCbros knuckle weight setup as well Lattice Innovations shift hubs from BC-Brain. Now I will be shaving 4.5 oz from the front. Been hearing that these tires like a light rig. I will give the lighter setup a try. But I enjoy the current weight of my rig including the lipo. |

How was your weight bias before doing all of this? It looks like your are losing 4.5oz from the FRONT but your rear tires are going to weigh the same as your old ones? You going to be able to shed that same 4.5oz from the rear that you did from the front to keep your bias? Either way I hope you come to the comp Saturday and try her out. On a side note I kinda liked watching the body fly all over the place. |

60/40 bias. That's what the Secret Agent was built for. Edited the first post and noticed I didn't have the chassis correct. Still not quite finished with the final set up. Still need some hardware to button it all up. Here are some shots of the tires mounted. The shift hubs and knuckle weights. I'm trying to get it finished for this weekend, but its going to be tight. Might see a semi different setup just so I can run. But the tires will still be with me. |

The bias after the new set up. Not too bad. Got the hardware. If I find time, will try a test run before the comp Saturday. Fingers crossed. |
