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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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??
