| Re: Sic's 1st Berg has a Bounty!
I would be careful with 11t pullers. I have 16ts in my rig right now ( very similar setup, only different chassis) and they are a little weak on the drag break. Which helps with some smooth down hill applications, but if I'm climbing and switch into dig I have to keep a little power to my rear so it doesn't roll back (this I can do easily with a twin stick). So I would caution going to an 11t puller because there is even less drag break/holding power in this application. Other than that gotta love that parts list |

I run 13t pullers in my xr so just assumed the 11t's would be close to same with mo speed? Ty for that info I will prob not go 11t then cause 13t is plenty! | |

Hey I tried to flip em around & they don't seem to fit that way? The Bottom of the knuckle stops the brass holder from goin up far enough to bolt it up. Is there something else i need to do cause I seen your thread where urs are other way. Last edited by sic1to; 05-14-2016 at 04:42 PM. | |

| Re: Sic's 1st Berg has a Bounty! ??? You feel like you got the same amount of drag as 13t with the 11's...really like I mentioned above 13t is plenty of jumping obstacle power |

As Curt mentioned, they don't lock your axle solid.. Buuuutttt.. I ran the 13t and FXR's and always liked that it let the rear axle roll a little. (At times) The BR's lock up solid, so I have to have some, give, somewhere.. You get use to it and don't notice.. IMO.. | |

| Re: Sic's 1st Berg has a Bounty! Dont stress the guy out! LOL. He already had concerns. They are setup at approx 35* with the gear box flat so if you bring the box up about 10*, youre only looking at 25* or so. You can also rotate the chubs for less caster if you want since there are multiple holes on the AX10 chubs. My guess is that they are about 28-30* right there. Should be a great start. Lengthen the uppers a hair to get more clearance under the box if needed. |

That car will be setup exactly like mine except maybe how much knuckle weight you run. You will be good.
