THANKS PANTABLO!!!! I got my new rubber today and Pablo did a great job reducing the MT's to fit the 1.5 Kawada wheels. I was going to paint them black but I kind of like the steel look of the steelies!

Added some hubs. So much more to do. I have to "clean up" the drivers side window cut out, Do the passenger side, paint and mount bumpers, rear wheel wells,etc...

What a great looking rig. I love how you made the bottom of the canvas top wavy.

TheHeadHunter · 06-12-2009, 09:36 AM

Thanks, the lexan mold actually comes with a wavy line so I figured why not?

Thanks! Yes as far as I know the Kawada wheels are for the mini cooper and come in 1.5 only.

BGGruff · 06-12-2009, 04:12 PM

The little Sami looks great! I really like the tire/wheel set up and all the scale attention.

What's the WB? Can you post a pic of it next to a regular 1.9 scaler for reference?

makes me wish i still had my old 87.
very cool, and great attention to detail.

eddievedder · 06-23-2009, 07:56 PM

OK the last time I went wheeling all was well. I wheel for a bit but then my Sammy just died (burning smell, motor RED hot!)

Someone on here was nice enough to send me a new motor for $10 shipped! Well I decided to take the truck apart since I wanted to find the cause. I came up with nothing. Axle lockers fine, took tranny apart fine... so I hooked up the new motor and wheeled it around the garage for 2 minutes then I smelled that SMELL again! Motor=DEAD

I have the stock Losi MRC setup just on an l trail chassis. Same radio gear and esc and motor. WHY AM I BURNING OUT MOTORS??? AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH

This thing always wheeled great with no problems.

Trikster · 06-23-2009, 08:49 PM

Wonder if there is a short in the ESC? How is the gear mesh? Geared too tall?

DaSamurai · 06-23-2009, 11:55 PM
