| Micro with diffrent lids (mockups)
Here are some photos of my micro with a few different bodies and next to some Mini-Zs for size comparison. I believe im going to try and braze myself a frame and use the GMC truck model but suprisingly I really like the Mini-Z Monster Kyosho Mad Force body on it. It allows for full articulation with zero rubbing. I can actually lower it quite a bit from where it is at in the photos. Let me know what you think. Enjoy :-P |

| Good catch! I was going to correct you correcting me but I have consulted another source and it seems you are right. I assumed you only use too if you are including something. i.e. I want to come too. My fiance couldnt explain to me why but she "knew it was right". I Googled it and viola! Thanks |

I found its easier to unscrew the ball socket from the frame and axle than it is to try and pop the shock off the ball. The shock shafts bend pretty easy and I figure they will break easy too. I put the long micro t shocks on mine and it sits about right now. Good luck!

Has anyone tried a mini quake body yet? Not the most scale...but might be an interesting fit. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJAG7&P=7 I also wonder how the proline descender body would look on it with some wheel spacers or something. I haven't seen the molds but maybe it would be possible to cut it in a way so that it wouldn't have the comp cut look. http://www.prolineracing.com/product...dy-192-31.html Last edited by ian8811946; 11-24-2009 at 11:32 PM. |

Yeah but check the widths, 3.5 and 3.88. They might work for more mild builds with the tires under the fenders.
