My Runner Build

[T4RCrawler]

Hello everybody! You guys have a great forum here full of info. Well I got a micro crawler for christmas like a lot of you did and i absolutely love this thing. I've had r/c cars/trucks most of my life but this is my first rock crawler and i know it won't be my last. Modding began with a new body that matched my 1:1 (i still have to spray it black), then i cut the springs, moved the servo wire so it doesn't hang up in the shocks, attached a little rope and hook to the bumper in case i need to pull debris off the trail. Ok here are the pics...



With the springs on it looks like a monster truck

Flexin out on the mini-t



My towline


I love the stance. Anyway that's all for now. I'm planning on painting it black soon and making some little stickers. Once it stops pouring rain outside i'm gonna build a trail in the backyard and snap some action shots.

Did you take off the cover and move the wire or how'd you move it? I'm having the same problem....

Very very cool. Thanks Tamiya that they make these great Japanese SUV's miniature model. Excellent scaling. Keep going.
