[popcorn] cant wait to see how this one plays out! and for the link you use 2/56 all thread, 1/8 aluminum tubing for better looks (optional) and either mini t ball cups or associated ball cups. i like the losi because they are black the associated cups are clearish white

Have you ever thought of using your favorite soda can as aluminum body plates?

smuggl1n 09-30-2012 04:31 PM

Re: BWD Mirco Wedge
 
Yea I did that with my Losi comp crawler it had a monster can hood and roof, cans are super thin only worked good on my lcc because I folded all the edges for strength. I'm sure I could make some but I don't know how well they would work, kinda wanted to keep the cab as light as possible, I know it wouldn't make that much of a difference but just some thoughts I know it's about half the weight of the body that was on it. so I'm doing better there.

Looks like more wheelbase length could help a little.
I think +1CM on the front and back looks good, and performs well with the Miclaws.
Something to think about when building your custom links .

I think I'm gonna go back to my boggers on this rig

Re: BWD Mirco Wedge

Have you thought about flipping the tranny?

Mastah Kyler 10-01-2012 10:12 PM

Re: BWD Mirco Wedge
 
if you do not stretch both sides the same length the chassis will not be level
