Default The Last Samurai...
Well maybe not the last. But it is my first! And since that makes absolutely NO sense I'll get onto the build

I used to own a 1.1 Sammy. Hard top, light blue. What a beast. So I have had this Losi MRC since sept. I got the L Trail shortly after, and a Sammy body in Dec. It is now coming together!

Going to be building something like this. No hard top though.

Thanks bro. Yeah Roy 33 is still sitting on top of the tires. He watches them at night! He will probably end up driving my BO Wrangler. Less his legs of course!

OK well all the electronics are installed so it is a runner. I drove the chassis around the garage for a bit. A lot of fun!

Chassis mounted the servo and made a steering link from the old one.

Trimmed the body some more and added the first touch of paint to the inside.

Started to work on the interior. Stole it from a big bear. Fits pretty good with only little modifications.

That's looking really good. I can't wait to accumulate the parts for mine. It's about to jump ahead of the other 5 gazillion projects I have.

Yeah he was pretty quirky. I remember he had a "thing" about stepping on the painted lines in the ice!

OK well got some paint on the outside now! I cut out the rear window and side windows as well. I have some thing tinted pvc that I am going to put there. I will look more like soft top plastic windows, with a very slight tint.

Some body detail before bed. I tossed some other wheels and tires on. I was getting sick of the RED...

I love the MRC axles under this rig but I definitely need wideners!

Sweet!!! Thanks a lot man. Got an pics of your mate's rig and does he like Night Ranger?



Ok so I got the rear body mount all set. It was very easy actually. Ill post detailed pics later but for now rear ride height is where it is at. I gotta go work on the front. I am going to be using Kawada 1.5 dish wheels and reduced Mud Thrashers.
