thanks

I got the led's and resistors in bulk from ebay but you can find them at Radio Shack and I made the holders from the aluminum tube I used for the shock bodies.

Yoter is right, it's a military design used to stop large heavy wheels and tires with less effort. Monster trucks use a similar design and have th change pads after less than 1 hour of use.

Here are some comparison pics.

That came out awesome great work man.

TexasJeff · 01-30-2011, 08:35 PM

Oh man- that came out really great!

dockman · 01-31-2011, 11:04 AM

Amazing job man, looks fantastic. The level of detail is superb for its size, and the Miniqlo tyres look perfect on it. Two very big thumbs up.

ecoli · 01-31-2011, 02:16 PM

By far, the coolest micro tube build I've seen. Looks a lot like a Jimmy Smith buggy. Love it.

steevo · 01-31-2011, 04:19 PM

where the 'buy it now' button? good job. i love the light holders. they look mean man. so does the whole truck. you did a very good job

BEELZEBOB · 01-31-2011, 04:24 PM

Great work man.

honestly my favorite micro yet.

rcdave13 · 02-01-2011, 04:26 PM

Anyone wondering how I get the battery out?

Losi High Roller, I didn't try to drive it like this yet.

Some more flex shots.

Here's a teaser vid.

WOW MAN!!! Mad props!!!!!! Keep up the amazing work dude!!

Looks like you have successfully converted a Micro crawler to a Mini crawler.

dockman · 02-06-2011, 09:12 AM

No, he successfully converted a micro crawler into awesomeness!!!

Mav68erick · 02-06-2011, 09:14 AM

So when is the kit gonna be availalbe

To bad they could cast an entire frame like that in one piece of plastic

rcdave13 · 02-06-2011, 10:48 AM

Went for a drive on my outdoor course for the 1st time. Ran 2 packs with no problems, rolled it 4 times,1 was a 6" drop and 1 was end over end and I just noticed a small scratch in the paint on the bumper and front shock loop. The metal sides and roof took the rest of the abuse. The only weak spot is the motor, a few times I thought the battery was going dead then I realized it was the motor straining to turn. My 1st clue was the smell. Looks like I need Getbent's 90 turn motor.
Video coming soon!

getbent · 02-06-2011, 01:19 PM

That has to be the coolest micro Ive seen. Lots of great craftsmanship went into that rig. Looks GREAT, I love it!

haratank · 02-06-2011, 04:25 PM

This thing is insane! How long did it take you to make the chassis?

johnnyh66 · 02-08-2011, 11:17 AM

a work of art man.
If I hadn't just bought a venom vmx and the fact that I'm trying to finish my scx10... I'd totally buy it. I bet you could get at least 300 or 400. People will pay for that level of craftsmanship.

rcdave13 · 02-13-2011, 05:44 PM

Here is a link to some videos on the rocks. It's my 1st time filming a micro and driving with 4 wheel steering. I knew I should have had the cam lower to the ground, 3' is too high. http://s67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...ideo201102.mp4
