I'm hitting the road tomorrow for the nats but on Friday be sure to check out the Losi site www.losi.com (http://www.losi.com) for some info on new option parts coming for the Mini Rock Crawler. I'm working on a bunch more stuff too that I hope to debut soon.
My personal MRC is loaded up with the options parts to show if anyone would like to see them in person, but sorry I will not have any available for the public.
I'm also bringing some demo cars to run in Moab, it's going to be a lot of fun.
Thanks again for the support,
Rich

BTW If I don't respond to pms or questions, it just means my laptop didn't connect to the hotels internet and I'll get to everyone by Tuesday when I get home.

Looking forward to the options. I went to the LHS yesterday to get one and came back with two. The 2nd was my wife's idea. She Rocks."thumbsup" I hope that an offset plate to mount the battiers on the axel is in the works.

The new tires are listed as "Blue" are they really the Blue compund like the 2.2 claws or are they the same as the Kit tires?

Yes the exact same compound that are 2.2 tires are made of. The kit compounds are different and do not have quite the the traction as the Blue.

Also note the wheel weights are optional for are aluminum 3pc wheels. The weights included in with the aluminum wheels are 16 grams each, the optional are 30 grams.

The Blue compound tires work a ton better. I put some weight in my front and rear rims. 1/4 and 1/2 ounce weights fit perfect on the back side of the rims.

Rich, I have a question in regards to the Japanese imported version. Are you able to tell me why it is coming with a 27mHz radio and not the spectrum? I was really disappointed to find this out :(

Unfortunately Spektrum brand is not legal to use in Japan. I'm not sure of the exact details, something about only the Japanese Radio brands that use spread spectrum technology is legal in Japan.
Our distributor really wanted to have the MRC and the only way to do it was to change out the Radio Electronics.

I hear that Spektrum is trying to work with the Japanese government for approval, but that is all I know.

I saw the hop-ups at the Losi tent at Nationals and I can say it all looks great! The MRC is a ton of fun and these parts only make it better. Now if I could only get my hands on a mini Grappler body to match my other.

Rich when will this stuff be available?

Saw the mini parts and they are really cool. The Beadlocks are really nice.

I think this is going to be huge along with the parts TCS has for them. I will be getting one very soon.

Thanks Zach and congrats on the win again. The Grappler should be arriving within the next 3 weeks or so. Almost everything else should be here within the next 6 weeks.

When i was at the RCP FNF was the MRC there running the stock tires or were they the blue ones?
