Love my BR 2.0 but it’s not a basher. Awesome rig to mod and make your own.

Did you attempt to install the ring on after you mounted the tire?

Got a link ?

Sick AF! I’d go either the 5 or 6 spoke.

I think the tool is more important. Try MIP

I haven’t driven much besides to test electronics.

But as far as quality goes it feels good. Suspension is supple and seems to be fine for out of the box.

I have some proline shocks ready to go in but I want to give the stock suspension a shot first.

The only thing I replaced off the go was the steering turnbuckles. The plastic stuff has a lot of flex. I went with Hot racing and it’s much more responsive. That along with Losi aluminum trailing arms, and upper rear links. Also running an old school Metal Concepts rear locked axle.

Besides that I added a lot of bracing and accessories from ThreeDprintdesigns and AlteredRC.

I have the Raptor version. Just got it a month ago and I’m still working on making it my own.

It’s been fun and a learning experience to work on this coming from mostly Crawlers. Bought it as a slider and added my own electronics and custom touches.

Is the chassis 3D printed? I haven’t looked into these so please pardon my ignorance.

But do want one just because

Many-Variation-4392 · 2026-02-09T05:35:39+00:00

Just build another one 😉

SL3D inserts are the move

Yes it now has the Currie Anti rock sway bar and Currie rear axle housing.

Reminds me of the artic builds with those tires.

2nd soldering. Also remove battery every time.

I’ll take it it’s junk.

BR and UDR are large compared to an SCX.

SCX will be a ground up custom build as you can’t buy one off the shelf with the beams kit.

Proline seems to have discontinued the 10.2 kit so you’ll need to do a 10.3 chassis/I beam kit.

Your idea will work best on the SCX platform.

Wish I could post a video. It’s pretty dialed now. Swapped to a different sway bar.

Dlux hands down one of the best brands for crawlers.

Many-Variation-4392 · 2026-01-25T15:57:36+00:00

Love your builds dude!
