Default Custom CNC micro rig

Hello everyone.

I'm not sure where to post this on the forum…there's not really a place for custom micros. Long story short, I've been working on this micro MOA 4WS rig for a while and finally got it sorted out and took some pix and video of it in my back yard.

Make no mistake about the driving. I'm about as green as they get. I only have maybe 5 minutes of crawling under my belt. I'm more the tinkering type.

Right now it has a single ESC-some chinese no-name type that i can't find the programming instructions for. I'm working on procuring another couple of align 5amp units so i can program some digs.

Currently I'm running a heli-version 9303 which i'm more comfortable with than a pistol.

Just looking for some feedback. I've never done this before…if anything looks unorthodox, or you have suggestions for better handling I'm all ears.

thanks for looking.

i guess there's no embedding videos? here's a link:

bad ass
nice design

I don't know if you added weight to the rims but you might better traction if you haven't. Or take the foam out.

Nice work.

thanks for all the comments. do they make weights for the 1" wheels? or is there some other way to weight the rims? it definitely needs some more traction, especially after the tires get a little dust on them.

thanks.

Yeah Bob looks great there is some Tweaking to do for sure but 1st time build looks like a great start, and yes you can put weights in the wheels for sure. If you can make it to the back yard boys next Tuesday we can get you hooked up.
