|  Anyone working on MOA?
I would love to see a kit for this. If you are also interested in this please post in this thread.  If the post number gets high enough it might dangle a carrot in front of someone to come out with a conversion!! |

I was working on some 1/24 scale stuff after I sold my SSMT a long time ago. Never finished it, but it was MOA with portals. Cant find a pic of the axles right now, but here's the portals:  obviously no use of losi's micro crawler parts, but it can be done. I think I've got about all i need to finish it. I gotta wrap up another little 1/24 project and then maybe i'll jump on this again! Last edited by shutupanddrive; 02-01-2010 at 10:15 PM. |

Nice work "shut up and drive". LOL That is my MOA build going on. Biggest concern is how the gear motors will hold up. Small gears (steel) and no bearings. I think someone could put those same motors on the Losi axle, like they do the MOA on the 2.2 Losi. The motors come in various ratios. If I could get some axles in the future, I'd like to try it. |

I know this is an older thread, but I'm working on a MOA. The main reason for that is I love the capability and the little wieght the chassis itself. This setup will take me a bit cuz I'm going with 2 outrunners and need to find a esc that will support the 2 outrunners and setup a rear motor kill switch, as I'm using the Dx3E Last edited by Jeepkid; 09-17-2010 at 12:26 PM. |

a wee bit insane imo.. if they had comps for it sure, why not.. but as something that is purely a toy/basher, I see little reason to put forth the effort and even less of a market to cater it towards. ~Kev |

You know the owners manual for the micro says"this is not a toy". Its a hobby vehicle, dude. Dont judge me cuz I want the most insane micro of all my friends, but if a comp division starts it would be so awsome.

I wasn't slamming you man.. Just saying currently there is no market, therefor its highly doubtful that any companies are working on a kit.. I don't have a micro (yet) but beyond friendly comp's, I don't see a comp arena rising that will cater to shafty & moa in the same class. If a comp arena did come to fruition it would likely be stock & modified shafty only until popularity proved high enough to justify companies looking into micro moa. ~Kev |

It seems to me that 10 years ago there was no market for 1/10 crawlers either... Through people modifying their vehicles the hobby changes... Who is anyone to say a micro is anymore of a toy than any other R/C product... Ever see an indoor micro race track the interest in micro vehicles does exist... and how do any of us know what will or wont work for the R/C market until people bring their ideas to life... I personally would love to see more micro kits (actual kits...), and more companies competing with Losi.
