Intro and hello

[zukrider]

hi, im joe. this is my first hobby grade purchase for myself. and i freaking love this litttle thing i just bought my micro last sunday, found this site that night, and have since comenced the mods. i first did some washer wheel weights, then moved the stock battery to the rear. my next goal was to get my 1:24 samurai body on it. which was the whole goal once i saw these in the store. and yesterday, i bought a minit rear spring pack and a losi lipo 180mah. holey crap what a power difference!

and i just bought a 1972 blazer model on ebay today. so ill be a multiple owner real soon!

heres a few pics of the various stages! hope you like for my being a noob



body test fit, sharpie "cut" marks, and view of the front washer weights

Nice scale crawler build goin there!

Your gonna want more wheel weight than that, both front and rear,... Also ditch the stock "silver" springs for the "Hop Up" Springs for the rear of the losi Micro-T

White in the front and red in the back, glue the bottom of the spring to the spring perch, and let the top ride over the body of the shock.

just got done installing the springs! i plan for more weight. i just havent gotten their yet.

thanx

Welcome to the forum and NICE build. Keep us updated on the Blazer body build as well.....

[zukrider]

will do! it should be here in a week or so. probably be a few months before i can afford a second McRC though. i thought about using the models frame and all, and doing a real scale build, but, we'll see. might be a bit to much to chew off at first!
