| Micro Ford F150 Raptor
This is my first Micro Build with the following: SMC chassis (great guy by the way) Leaf sprung rear axle, coil over front (similar to the real Raptor) Aluminum straight axel kit on the rear Aluminum steering knuckles on front Aluminum trans brace Aluminum trans housing Micro High Roller tires glued to weighted MRC rims Aluminum covered driveshafts (for looks) KNOK 1/24th scale RC body (ebay) The smaller tire diameter really lowers the cog and it crawls surprisingly well. You need to pick the line more carefully but it has great traction and will make it up jut about anything built to relative scale.

| Mine has the 5.4 - got a better deal opting for the smaller engine. Even so, it gets up and goes pretty well. 6 sped auto and 4:10s in the axles, it will roast them pretty good with the traction control turned off.
