Farmertom's XR10 Chaotic Switch

[EverettY]

exactly "thumbsup"

The screws are of Fastener Express.
Unfortunately, I have never found orange aluminum screws.

If someone has an address for it, I would be happy for a tip.

I have never seen orange anywhere either... I'd say just get some raw aluminum screws from Fastener express and than send them to someone who can anodize them That would look pretty sick although I do have to say the red does go pretty well on that "thumbsup"

I was talking about the VP parts..Thomas knows the way a woman thinks...its all about bling:ror::twisted:

LOL ok... When I hear hardware I think of the screws no the parts ;-)

Meanwhile, I got from a friend a set Ti links.

And apparently, the switch works so well.
Yesterday we had the SMC "Winter Comp" in the Crawler Hall Wil Switzerland.
See for yourself

bought the set of link to a friend.

I have installed a slightly different set of links in my crawler.
The lengths are identical to the link set of the website by Chaotic Crawlers.

The rear upper links but are bent differently.

On the Westcoast Shootout Comp could see that the XR10 also works without Knuckle Weights.

So I started to optimize the weight of my switch.

To save weight on the rear axle, I have changed the gearbox by the originals.

 

[Chaotic Crawlers]

What's your total weight now?

 

[farmertom72]

What's your total weight now?

Currently, the weight at 1710g.
Without Lipo without Knuckle Weights

Looks good. It is funny how we all spend the big money to get all the aluminum pieces only to realize there is more advantage to the original lighter parts:roll: I have been doing the same thing.

Thank you

We'll see if the modification to the plastic parts really make sense.

This was definitely the fat girl behind you

Did something again optimized on the switch.

First I turned off the rear hubs.
But somehow that did not really fit.
Did it but the rear wheels, modified, so I can go back smaller hubs.

1774g driving weight with 15g KnuckleWeight per side

Today I found a few grams at my crawler.

-> old weight
