BiggaH's YTC v4 rebuild by Farmer

[Farmer]

Well as most of you know my buddy Steve(BiggaH) passed away last October. I ended up buying his rig to help out with things that needed taken care of. My goal for this rebuild was to upgrade all the things that Steve wanted to do. I want to thank Michelle from Krawler Konceptz, Rick from SuperShafty.com, Jeremy at YTC, and John from Holmes Hobbies. Without you guys this build would have taken way longer. Now on to the specs. This build thread will be simple since everyone has seen a berg built. I will update with info and pics as time goes on. I'm very happy with the rig and won our points series comp by 31 points. Pretty sweet for only having a few packs through it. I also finished the day with 13 points which is crazy because 13 was Steve's favorite number:shock: The only thing I still need to complete this build is tubes, hopefully that will be taken care of soon:mrgreen:

Nice build Farmer! I got to meet Biggah at Midwest last year. He was a nice dude. I was bummed to hear about his passing. I really think this is cool way to keep your buddy in memory.

Thanks for all the comments guys I really appreciate it. I just posted up a few more pics in the first post. I'm trying to find the right battery now. I want something small, but what I have now is too small:x I'm sure I will come up with something soon. Also need to get my tubes soon. The only thing I miss about my xr is the caster. I might just have to get the ends of these tubes turned since I have had the axial c's for over a month:shock: Is ECC here yet!!!
