| My losi micro crawler jeep/landrover
just picked this up today and after a trip to walmart, some cutting and velcroing the batt under the hood of the jeep body here she is: definately handles better with the batt mounted up front. I have a feeling i will start collecting different 1/24 bodies as will many others. lol Last edited by specgie; 11-24-2009 at 11:10 PM. Reason: changing title |

Went to Target tonight and found another body- same assortment of new bright 1/24 rcs- landrover body.. i like this better because i also had room to mount the esc/rx on top of the servo and the batt on the back plate. Crawls and looks sweeet! |

I like the Jeep body pretty well, but I have a 1:18 Newbright LJ Jeep laying around that I have shortened to a scale TJ wb (1/2 inch) to a wb of 5 in. I dont know how I am going to stretch the micros wb but I am hoping that this body will be a little more scale. It is 3.5 inches wide (outside fender flare to outside fender flare) and as stated before now it is 5 in wb. I am hoping it will turn out for me. I will start a new thread later.

did some further shopping at a local dollar store and came up with some scale accessories: surf board, diy bungee cord, and shovel. Looks great on the top rack. Also picked up the 220mah nimh. |

Modded my Eurgle 2.4ghz transmitter by fitting the nimh portable charger inside. It is now powered by the 8 aa's in the tx. Now i can charge on the go without lugging the big nimh brick along! To achieve this to work with my TX i used my micro rx and an old 18t esc which fit perfectly on the back plate with some minor trimming. I can't stop having fun with this thing! |
