|  Megatiny
Move over Megaton, Megatiny is here.  This thing is freaking awesome, Losi does it again I did break a shock, but I think that is going to be a design issue, the shocks do suck pretty bad, even compared to the stock micro-t shocks. But the rest of the truck is fantastic, it's like a shrinky Dink version of the Losi Crawler. Well anyways I got the shock fixed after the intial test run and when the daughter got home we had a mini comp, she's never been to interested in crawling, but she likes this truck. We ran for points no DNF's and no reverses, just gates and rollovers, we ran 3 courses it was a blast, so something to consider for parents. Here are the pics.         |

Still needs some tweaking but she's crawling pretty well now. The battery will sit on the servo and the esc on the rear axle.   |

| comps
If you go to the comps section there is a download of rules and point system for larger rigs. like +1 for a reverse. Just adapt them to your needs. It's like golf, lowest score wins.

No problem, you can look up the rules but if your not familiar with them I'd recommend staying out...LOL Basically I watered down the comp rules, way down for my 5 and 8 year old, but they love it and that's all that matters to me. Basic Micro Rules: No DNF - You have to finish the courses Gates - 10 points for hitting gates Rollovers - 5 points - Vehicles must be placed back on all 4 wheels in the same spot or repositioned at the last gate they cleared. Kids are allowed to flip however they want all "real" comp drivers need to keep two wheels in contact with the ground as they flip the vehicle from the side. Reverses are allowed No time limit Gate markers - See the Gate Marker Thread for ideas - 6" minimum from gate marker to gate marker 5-10 gates per course Driver with the lowest score wins. The key here is keep it fun for the kids by making it easy yet competitive, but tighten the rules up for your own runs so it's fun for you also. | |

Sweet pics. Your rocks look killer. Maybe I missed it but what chassis are you running? That thing looks badass. |

 and myself can be a challenge. I'm hoping we can get at least a little mileage out of this one.

I'm yet to time the runtime, but it is a 400mah, I mainly use it for the wieght. Well I redesigned the chassis, it was a little to Tiny.  |
