Default Re: Moa!!

here's some more info for those interested.
Page 2 is the V1 the newer V2 info is on 3 and 4 ...
anyone seen this yet
the twitchy steering os more related to the crappy Tx supplied ... it uses the same servo as the V1 Moa's and is OK for a cheap servo, but get that midget V2's Rx turned on and it has so few step the steering is really jittery. It does what it should but as it has so few steps in the resolution it appears to 'twitch'

I liike the chassis hate the electronics, the stock lowerlinks are garbage soft noodles and should be replaced with stiffer aluminum.

the suspension is fairly well set up but ride height is too high. move the lower end of the shocks to the outboard of the lower mount and respring (like I did with the V1 - use both internal and external springs) to get a semi-droop and lower the ride height in the front, the back is good with a softer spring and just needs a slight drop.

Mine is still under the knife, picked up a B1R, HeyOK custom micro dig, and a Cougar Ps3i (works with AE 2.4ghz Rx's I like and is computer model with memory) ... and just needs to get off my arse and put it together. Life kinda got in the wya for a bit.

That's one sweet looking little rig. If I hadn't already bought a Redcat Sumo I think I'd have gotten one of these. I like the MOA design for sure and really wish rear dig was easier to get incorporated into a McRC. I don't know that Losi needs to do a MOA design, but I do wish they'd upgrade the next version of their Micro Crawler to incorporate rear dig.

I replaced the servo with a Hitec metal geared servo and have no glitch in the steering now. As far as the Tx goes, I kind of like the size, but it is pretty damn cheap.
