The Violator
RCC Addict
After winning the XR-10 at Nationals in Vegas I decided it was time to put it together. My daughter has wanted a crawler since I built her a really cool 1.9 but then took it because I wanted to run a 1.9. Now she will have her very own "comp" crawler.
This build is going to be a budget build. I have some 55t lathe motors so thats what she is going to get. I have a sidewinder esc, and a Tekin R1pro esc laying around. I am thinking about either a pair of Micro sidewinders, or another full size sidewinder. I also considered a single r1pro and no dig. Make it a sportsman rig only, but I hate to waste the capabilities of the Futaba 4pl. Hopefully I can find something cheap.
Even though she is only 7, I want it to work well. After considering stock chassis vs. aftermarket I am leaning towards a ROC........Just kidding. I know a guy who knows a guy who is going to donate a White BJ4 to this build ( and yes thats a hint, have one ready for me and put it on my tab).
I opened the box and went through all the parts. There is way to much stuff. I started with the Axial XR-10 kit, RC4WD Bearing adapters, and hardened gears .
First off, my spawn.
Next all the parts layed out in the 007 Krawl lab. Pay no attention to the instruction book, I am a man, and men only use instruction booklets as coasters.
And lastly the best radio I have never bought (thanks again to TEDROCKZ for the great give away). Futaba 4pl.
After doing lots of thinking, lots of cussing, and I mean lots of cussing (Krawl said he wished he has set up a camera to film the build) I got one axle done. Now all I need is to win some VP stuff, but for now its gonna be stock unless I hit the lottery, or cheap out and buy some Hot Racing stuff ( on a side note, how is the hot racing stuff? I know its not VP, but its cheapy and that works pretty good for me) More pics to follow.
