how does the wheelbase of this compare to say, a Mini-T/RC18T body? I'm of the opinion that the Parma panel wagon/grave-digger thing would look exceptionally good being underpinned by micro rock crawler axles, or hell any scale-ish 1:18 lid. invasion of solid axle narrow eyes bajas, anyone?

It'll be interesting to see how those leaf springs hold up under use; especially with people who are going to run metal bodies on them. It also looks to really be limiting the flex, do you have any flex shots (natural, not force flex?)

I too was thinking that it should do well with the metal bodies, might even smooth out the ride a bit. Are there any plans to try and engineer a stock type chassis with links 'n coils? Definitely a good looking chassis; excellent work; can't wait to see some scale builds on this chassis!

Next we will install the servo and receiver tray from the stock Losi Micro crawler, you will have to shave off the brace on the under side of the receiver tray with a dremel so that it out of the way.  Mount the servo tray with two of the stock 1.6mm screws from your micro kit and put 1 of the 5mm m2 philp screws on each side of the chassis to keep the Receiver tray form rotating down  Next take 4 of the M2 8mm Socket bolts provided with the kit and the 2 flat spacers and they will be used to mount the servo (the spacers shown in this build are the prototype spacers actual spacers will be different)  Here you can see the servo mount holes they need to be drilled larger with a #52 bit so that the M2 8mm socket bolts will thread into the holes  Install bolts as shown   Next install the other Brace from the stock micro crawler kit using 2 of the stock 1.6mm screws   I will have more pics soon. Thanks for looking visit www.crawlerx.net to preorder your kit today |

Bravo!! Big props Blade. The whole package looks very nicely executed, and the price point is definitely reasonable. I'm subscribed, hopefully you'll get some video up of this little beast. Where was this a few months back when I built my micro? I just might have to get another one going now. A micro Toyota build would be sweet with this chassis. The trailer is really nice looking as well... |
