You lucky S.O.B. I love that rig.
Looks like we have a pretty nasty 2.2 scaler lineup developing here in SC. I cant wait to see em all in person.

Haha, powered by ECRC! I've got like 5 of those bodies nip sacked away....just in case they decide to discontinue them one day.
It went good. Just need some bigger batteries. Gotta get use to the droop suspension.

A question about batteries. I see on a lot of the videos that most rigs run a 2 cell Lipo and they mount them to the front axle. I bought my XR10 in it's current state and it runs 3 Cell Lipo's and they mount under the front of the body (hood?) between the front upper links. I guess my questions are:
I know these are tech questions, but it is my project, so I thought this may be a good place for the post.
- Is it a benefit to run the 3 Cell's?
- What is the general thought on the battery placement that is on my rig?

I think 98% of 2.2 comp rigs run 3s. My 2 cents battery far forward as u can get it
Like marcus said, most comp crawlers use a 3s pack.
When I had my XR, I ran the battery on the front axle; it's very easy to make your own mount for it as well. I also looked through some pictures to try and find a good one for reference but only came up with this video I made from last season. Check it out here and you can kinda see how mine is mounted.

One other thing. If you run it on the front axle you want the battery to be thin enough and mounted to where it sits below your tire. I run the Gens Ace 3s 450 packs. They are about as thin of a 3s pack you can get for this application. Any other questions?"thumbsup"

Thanks, its coming along nicely. Next is lights. I am trying to decide if I want to put a bumper and winch on it or leave it like it is. Thoughts?
Ummmm...although it does look REALLY good like it is I believe a tastefully done bumper...no extravagant tube work...just a basic bumper with a winch would look nice.
I know that's a horrible shot...but that would look good...obviously the winch is missing...

That would go well with the existing rear bumper.
