Default 1/36 Metal Bodied Micro Scaler






While building the Micro Chair, I decided to build my first full body crawler.

The Heavy Chevy.

1/36 Scale Micro T with a 60's metal body.
it already has full ball bearings, oil filled shocks, 2s 1000mah cell phone lipo and some other minor mods.

Plans include independent suspension, 4 wheel drive,upgraded Turbo FET esc, and a HiTec metal gear micro.

For now its 2wd and pretty fast.

After the parts that are in the mail get here, it going to be a whole new ballgame.

Got some new parts in the mail for it today even!
More pics when I get its new wheels on.

Sadly, yes, the first version will be just as you described, a mini Clod.

Custom knuckles for the front and I will need two sets of tires since the front only houses bearings.

Should be pretty cool but it will still be fast. I have some ideas on connecting both gear box's together through shaft drive and running a servo for the drive motor. It should be way too much fun!

Got the new tires on it!
Sorry about the bad pics, its raining out today.

That looks sweet!! Cant wait to see what you come up with for the 4x4 version! Would be sweet if these could easily be converted to a crawler!
