here is a little sneek peak of things to come"thumbsup"

Nice Bob, looks awesome! Just picked one up from Turtle over the weekend. I got a few old models laying around still from my younger days, I'll have to dig them out and see what I can come up with."thumbsup"

Nothin like a good snow run! Looks great!

Ahem.


So this was really the last thing i did to the micro.

Ripped her out of the work room last week. I was going to try and do a lil comp refurb with it.


But, alas, I am redoing it all scale, again.

I have sanded and repainted the Commando body in that vid. I aslo just received a micro U-trail scale chassis from TCS.

After assembly i want new RC4wd tires and some BWD beadlocks.

i will build and takes pics in the next couple days.


Then does anybody know if the stock ESC can handle 3s?

id like it to be a lil more bash worthy.

3s, no. Some ppl save the 2s has too much punch as is. Get a thunder ower pack. I belive the 350mah 2s is small enough to fit.

are you gonna be running it in the snow?

my 2c tp is stupid fast youll be fine with 2c

Well.
the Hyperion 2s pack i have is fast. but 3s would be sick.

I have had a little time to spend on this between work, Halloween and the ensuing hangover....


BUT, i did get it almost fully built.

The TCS Ltrail delerin Micro chassis is pretty cool.

I got it all set up with a HT 65MG and built under the original Jeep Commando body in the vid above.

I repainted the body, and set up a Basic interior.

I used some super magnets to mount the body to the chassis, and


I also set up a working winch!!!

I bashed it around the house yesterday and broke off a bumper and a mount. I will fix it all up and get some glory shots today or tomorrow.

Edit and yes, I will be running in the snow!

Sooooo. dont fawkin make fun of me because i broke the bumper off.

it has a real nice chrome lower bumper and a rhino bar that hide the lil winch retract thinggy very well.

they are just awaiting epoxy. (CA IS GHEY):flipoff:

SCHNOOGINS"thumbsup"

bitches:flipoff:

So it was real hard for me to decide to take this the scale route.

But felt a little empty because scale automatically makes it less capable than a comp rig...

So then i realized that there was a reason I bought my Girl a RTR Micro when i got mine!!!


So w/ my micro, hers, and a lil package from BWD....

I can have both. :D

I am going to use the Ally wheels and a set of links (to stretch the rear under body) on my tiny scaler.

then a BWD Micro wedge kit - 1 set of links will go on hers.

Pics to come soon!

new stuff

stretched a lil bit
http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/pictu...ictureid=15452

built the micro wedge and links last night.

Gotta go to a snobby clown and pick up somenew shocks and springs.

more to come!"thumbsup"

You need a set of rok lox or crushers on there. I really like the body, nice details on it.

your rear wheel is not properly seated on the bead :flipoff:

thatnks!!! on that topic, what tires should i get? the RC4wd, which ones?

or the mini QLO's?


LOL thats because I am a hamfist and i ripped the tire....

dick:flipoff:

but im getting new tires, just debating on which ones.

maybe ill do a 5-6" WB on the micro wedge, and run the qlo's there, and the RC4wd tires on the lil jeep"thumbsup"

The Rox lox would look real good on that one, I think.

X2, w/the mini QLO's & the streched W.B. it would look like more of a fit.

what 3ch RX and ESC are you micro guru's ripping into for this lil guy?

i would want 4ws on a 6'' WB Wedge me thinks :D

im sellin an sr3500 rx 80 bucks
theyre 130 new and i havent even used it yet

So I re-did it again.

cut the chassis rails to fit the body, re mounted the battery, and am working on the winch.

I have some rock lox comin too.

Soooooooo

It took me a minute or to to get this Micro wedge chassis to work the way i wanted.

w/ a stock wheel base, it just goes right togeather. But i wanted @least a 5.5in WB.


So, this is where she sits.

what this lil rig can do now is just freggin insane compared to my scale micro or a stock one!!!

it crawls right up the back of my couch!:shock:

LOL Now its just a debate of which tires and rims, and which body to rock on it.


and the lil scaler gots new shoes!

Extending the W.B. makes such a Big difference w/these Micro's.

Your 1st pic look's like the L rear is longer than the R side? Might just be the pic??

Looking good.
