Default Micro Wedge chassis.

Snagged one a couple weeks ago that arrived with factory McRC motor, servo, wheels/tires and battery.

Swapped out the factory parts for DDT beadlocks w/ Baja Claws/SS TSLs, DDT 90t, 2s Lipo, mg90S and some Micro T springs. Velcroed the decased rcvr/esc to the servo and added some lead rope to the front axle. Also repositioned the suspension links so they moved more freely without binding.

The little rig was a bit of a disappointment at first but now does very well on the Papasan chair indoor crawling arena and the patio 1 ton rock pile. It manages nearly every line that I pioneered with a similarly modded McRC that uses Miclaws! Even found a couple of new lines with the Micro Wedge.

Sounds cool, I have one and really like it too but I haven't been able to play with it much (waiting on parts). This thing seems to just work. Any pictures?

Took the aforementioned Micro Wedge out to the fairly large (40'x70'x15') concrete/asphalt/gravel pile, that has been my favorite crawl spot with the LCC & MRCP, today for the first time. Also brought a couple of other McRCs that are set up differently from each other (#1 has extended rear links and more added frame/wheel weight. #2 has CC SW Micro/Futaba R2106GF/4PL) but both have Miclaws.

The Micro Wedge with the smaller tires gave a very impressive performance on the big pile, crawling much of the same stuff that the LCC/MRCP usually do! Except of course the larger gaps and taller breakovers. Its main limitation seems to be that it gets hung up on smaller chunks. The one with the 4PL needs some more suspension tweaking.

Just ordered a Micro Wedge V2 kit.
