Robotboy's Chaotic XR

[Robotboy]

Completed

Picked up my 4PL yesterday so I was able to finish up the Chaotic XR. :mrgreen:

I am really pleased the way this chassis came together.
Hats off to the guys at Chaotic "thumbsup"

Clocked my C's back 1 notch. Currently have the CC straight rod,
I may have to pick up the bent one now. We'll see if it gets hung up.

RTC (with batt) weight came in at 5lbs. 11oz. Not too bad.
I may be able to take out some weight up front,
find out this weekend when I shake it down.

A couple pics of the electrics, installed neat & low.

Some poser pics for ya. Gonna try to get some action shots, & some vid, over the weekend.

:lmao: Made me choke on my coffee...thanks
it's actually very little in a very small space :lmao:

Yea...THATS a knot of wire for sure. Get some rx pins & crimpers. Definitely one of the best investments I've ever made for cleaning up the chassis...especially with this little fellar. Space is limited for sure but the chassis being SO SICK makes up for it.

Nice build. I'm curious to see how those links work out for ya. Did you end up at 12.5"?

J.D.

Rig looks good man!!!"thumbsup"

Thanks! It's just shy of 12.5 resting, exactly 12.5 compressed.

We are glad you like it.

Already feels good from the get go, cycles smooth as silk and seems very stable "thumbsup"

Last year I ran the XR w/ Moonbuggy chassis. Before that I ran the MB on V2Bergs.
I'm already diggin' the feel of the CC chassis and have upgraded both axles.
So now all the stupid crap can offically be blamed on the driver :lmao:

Went out today to test the CCXR on some real rocks.
Did great for it's first outting. After some small tweaks it'll be killer :twisted:

Here's a small crappy video and some action shots...

Dunno how I just now came across this build thread... the XR's lookin good man! Can't wait to see it out on the rocks in person!

 

[HARDKNOCKZ]

Nice pics bro. Rig's lookin pretty sexy.

How do those links seem to be working for you?

You may have already said but did you get a GC measurement yet? I'm just wondering the clearance differences between your rig with those links...vs my rig with the CC links.

Thanks, she is a sexy thang!! :ror:

Fronts could use a little more bend to them. They hit the front of the
chassis at full flex but I'm not seeing any binding. So I think I'll be fine.
The rears are perfect, nothing bad as far as I can tell.

GC measured @ lower link mount screws is 3" front, 3 3/8" rear.

Ran a couple of practice courses today. The Chaotic XR was fantastic.
Very, very happy with this chassis

A few pics from today
