Default My Samurai

Nothing special yet, but couldn't help taking it out for a shake down run.

Specs:
MRC axles and tranny and esc
Reedy 19t rewound to 35t
tower pro 945 chassis mounted
L-trail chassis cut down to fit wheel base (like 51willy's)
3-racing mini lst shocks
Tamiya BFG's on hummer rims

Needs different tires to really reach its potential, but does surprisingly well with the Tamiya's. And could use a pan hard bar, just got to figure out how to mount it. Still want to do some bumpers and sliders. Maybe an interior some day. Would like to get some 1.5's and new tires, but that is a ways down the road.

Here with the 1:1

Looks sick dude. If you dont go with 1.55s maybe rc4wd Dirt Grabbers? Looks like you need to paint the 1.1 top black too lol

Your Sammy came out sweet man..! Once you get it all dialed in, you'll never put it down..! These little things will make it up and over stuff that some of the bigger trucks can't, and thats what makes them so much fun. As mentioned before, try a set of the rc4wd 1.55's, you'll be impressed with the extra traction you'll get ( plus they will look killer..!)

Nice sammy. 1.55 RC4WD steel beadlocks and the new 1.55 Dirt Grabbers would match your 1.1!!!!

Great job!

Thanks for the comments guys. I didn't realize that RC4WD had the dirt grabbers in 1.55. I think I will definitely go with those when they release them. They seem to be just the right size.
