| super-stock build "mini rig"
building a "super-stock" micro. my goal was to keep it simple, and moderately stock. start next day tires and aluminum parts on their way, more pics when they get here. my trying out a few motor/pinion combos right now, along with setting droop. EDIT: finish results are full droop, a motor i found in an old servo from my 1/10, alum knuckles, rear lockout, blue alum wheels nuts ( blinginnnn ), tpro servo, boggers, BB's in tires, and a lipo Last edited by steevo; 10-23-2011 at 03:16 PM. |

These little micros are pretty cool, I was going to buy one but no one I know owns one anymore. Have fun with it.

she's all naked right now thinking about heat-shrinking the esc, and mouting it somewhere, but i still don't know where i could so until i see something i'd like to do with it, i'm still thinking about it. you run out of room quick on these things! i also have an idea for a winch, that's kind of just for looks and kind of functional. i'll let you know if i can get it done up. my rear axle lockout, front aluminum knuckles, aluminum lock nuts, and super swampers are on their way, and i can't wait may paint the chassis

i recall some people mount a decased esc under the roof of the body on the inside with velcro. but, i see you have the windows cut out. it would be visible. just a thought

if you want to avoid drilling, a HS-65 will fit in, just need to loosen the upper mounts a bit for it to fit properly, others are HS 55 and T90, both require drilling though.

I didnt dril my tpro mg90. I mounted it a little higher using the stock single hole and the top mounting hole. lined up and works fine for me.
