I decided to take a plunge into the dark side and try my hand at comp crawling. The scale comp scene is none existent in north TX. So I checked out the For Sale forum and ran across a nice XR10 to get me started. I ended up purchasing BuckImod's used XR10.

The rig came as a rtr package. All I had to do was charge the battery and head out to the rocks. The first mistake I made was let my 14 year old son take the controls. Now I maybe on the lookout for a second XR10.

The rig came setup as follows:

CHASSIS:
Y town Crawlers CF Secret Agent
Chaotic Crawlers TI Upper and lower Links
Aluminum hardware

SHOCKS:
Aluminum SCX10
MiniT springs
JeepnDoug spring cups
Creationfab spring retainers
Aluminum Revo rodend balls

AXLES:
VP VVD's
VP upper link mounts
VP motor plates
RC4WD Delrin tranny case
NCD CF Servo mount and rear brace
VP Wraith Knuckles
NCD Max Steering Kit
SCX10 wheel hexes
Axial machined HD gears machined for extra weight loss
Boca Green Seal bearings
Aluminum hardware
Rowdy Racing battery mount
NCD Knuckle weights

MOTORS:
Holmes Pro Custom 540's
5 slot arms skewed
13 turn
Stage 4 weight kit
Ceramic bearings
Axial Pro pinioned

ELECTRONICS:
Futaba 4PL with 3 rxs
Hitec 7950
CC BEC
FXR's super smashed by Creationfab
Gensace 3s

WHEELS and TIRES:
NCD CF Wheels
VP Machined SLW Hubs
Shaved Boss Claws
Stock Rover Foams up front
CI DD Closed cells rear
Aluminum Hardware

In the words of BuckImod, "This is a very nice light weight rig. It weighed in at 3.59lbs before I added 2 solid brass rings on the knuckle weights." So I guess everything is not big in TX. Of course I had to take the OSU wrap off the radio since the rig no longer resides in the Buckeye state. :lmao:

Here are some pics taken just after unpacking.

I took the rig out to some rocks this morning to get a hang on how to drive a moa comp rig. I have only ever driven scalers. I must say it can definitely take lines that are impossible with a scaler. Here are some pics of the rig on the rocks.

I now am in need of having some skinz made. Any suggestions on where to have them made? Are there any blank templates online for the Y-town Secret Agent available that allows me to design my own and submit them?
 
Nice rig and very nice scenery:thumbup: That kind of rock is not to find here in Norway:mad:
 
Very nice rig. I saw it in the BST and thought it was a killer deal for that rig"thumbsup"

Sweet pics8)
 
If you want to order them, krawlerkonzepts or freqeskinz have them. If you want to DIY, take the one you have on the rig and you have the templates :)
