Wanted more ground clearance so I decided to do a front axle in the rear..this means grinding on the rear shafts a little and getting a front upper shaft . I figured I would use titanium to keep the weight down. I was pleasantly surprised to find a set of light weight gears already installed by the previous owner....score!!!

In an effort to get the weight down a little more I went with krazedbuilds carbon fiber motor plates..bigger bearings as well!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk |

Thanks for the invite, subscribed to follow this build. I may have to plagiarize a few ideas for my build.

| Re: Dasco's xr10 build A pic of the rear finished up and put back together..added VP front upper link mount (minus the servo mount) and VP xr10 lockouts also clocked the lockouts for more clearance The motor saver in the pic is my own creation super light but not as slick as I wanted it. I cure that later in the build Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk Last edited by dasco; 11-24-2016 at 04:52 PM. |

5 hour energy bottles are great motor savers... a hard and fairly slick plastic.

Remove label and find the 2 seams in bottle and cut in 2 pieces. Use double sided tape (servo tape) and stick on your motors.. trim as needed Last edited by tapped-out; 11-15-2016 at 11:13 AM. | |

Now to the front axle ..I'm not sure who makes the gears but a friend told me they are the ones people are looking for. Pretty happy about that!!! They are a greyish brown hardened steel and at some point I may do lightened gears. Also installed the Brc carbon fiber electronic plate...super light and does the trick...c.f. I put in an order from Erik at Dlux for some FBA axles and like always they are very nice. Also had him send me a set of his xr10 knuckles and slugs. Thanks Erik!! This rig came with VP chubs. So no need to do anything there. I made a battery mount out of some .040 lexan . Not sure who makes the servo mount but it's aluminum so I'll use it for now. I had smashed micro sidewinders in in this pic but have since went to smashed fxr's after frying an F.E.T. on a 3 slot 13t setup.....yikes major wheel speed and heat Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk Last edited by dasco; 01-05-2017 at 10:21 AM. |

Forgot to mention I made the custom servo guard myself out of some really thin carbon fiber Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk |
