Thanks, can't wait to get it out on the rocks tomorrow  I ended up swapping in the beadlocks that came with the XR10 tonight. My old wheels don't have enough backspacing, making the truck to wide. |

Good luck, post how long it ran before it broke...  As I sit here rebuilding 3 scalers, 2 comp rigs, and a SC8 I have a XR-10 in the box. I'm afraid to build it without having spare parts for the first run (Hmmm, just like my Losi  ).Seriously, good luck (hell it's gotta be better than RC3WD  ). |

Yeah a few to many reports of broken gears already... But there are also quite a few holding up to some serious abuse. I did test it out a little today, and everything sounded smooth and quiet. I really hope it holds up, I took all the electronics off the bully to build up the XR10. I would hate to have to switch all the crap back over again. |

The narrow rear is working fine. I have been setting the faster markers for some of the lines. took a short vid going up a steep hill. I ran that line about 5 times, it was easy. I also went up to the right where it gets steeper at the top a couple times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQrJISomRHQ |

I love how well the truck works right out of the box. The only thing I want to change, is it needs bent lower links. Now onto pictures, and some more videos. The drinking fountain climb, I walked right up it on my first attempt, it was the first thing I did with the truck this morning too.  Another ledge climb, it was getting a little lite up front on this one.   Kevin knows this spot well, couldn't quite break the edge, I think bent lower links would help here. Getting the front tires to bite and pull the truck up was fairly easy with this rig.  And a couple poser shots   And a couple pictures with the body off.   And here are some more vids Kevin knows this spot, we had this as a bonus gate earlier this year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE76NvNaCRc And another video from the same spot as the one I posted before, but with my other camera, and taking a harder line at the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoSfnzK1AYo |

Jumping ship might never have been this easy until now. I really like this truck the more I see it run.

I know these won't help you with your lowers but I've got some bent 3mm axial links to use as uppers. CHEAP. |
