| Dissapointing XR10
- rear axle slop...-gear case bearing slop...-stripping gears...-steering slop...front tires rub shocks no matter how i set it up...-I feel like stepping on it. (Stick with bully or berg) |

Interesting, some say its the last coke in the dessert some claim its crap! I guess that just makes it an average truck. Seriously, I can't wait to buy and try one so nobody has to tell me! |

slop and stripped gears are obvious user error... now if you said the gears are brittle and breaking whole teeth off, then you could blame someone else...

Im running 4s on 40t's and am up around 20 packs through it without a single problem. Every rig Ive had if I was able to get alot of steering out of it, rubbed. Ive had many berg setups and a few bully setups and my setup on the xr10 is my favorite so far, kinda suprised me actually.

I love mine. I've been beating on it for a week now and don't have much to complain about. This is my first MOA too and I like it.

I guess somebody's never built an rc kit before! Mine should be here anytime I guess I should just send it back if it has these type of problems.Nope I am going to build it and enjoy every minute driving it and comping w/it and fixing it if need be |

I guess i'm too used to quality and fit and finish of heli kits, though i did have a berg when they first came out and i don't remember so many out of the box issues, I guess i'll keep tweaking and buying aftermarket parts.Maybe my expectations were too high.

| Xr-10
I have had mine for a couple weeks and have been driving it pretty hard. It fell from 4-5' a bunch of times were my berg would have broke stubs or bent them and the only thing i have broke is a rod end that i drilled and taped t/8/32. The ax-10 had the axle slop also shim it. |
