man i cant wait!

ive been looking at a couple of pix of it ant it looks like the upper links and steering links are made of plastic. are aluminum or steel links going to be available for the mini crawler?

another thing i noticed from the pix is that the lower links look like they are turn buckles. do you guys who already have their crawlers notice if they tend to get hung up?

are bent lower links going to be available?

what size links are being used? as in outside diameter and size of the screw connecting the rod and rod end

what's its stock weight?

are the mini rock claws using the same compound as the 2.2 rock claws or are they softer?

can one of you guys take a pic of the stock mini crawler at its maximum vertical and horizontal angle before it falls over?

whats the turning radius?

sorry for all the questions (not going to be laast of them though) but i just want to be ready and know know what to expect when i finally get one of these lil guys in my hands

Mine was waiting for me when I got home from work. I got some wheeltime in the living room, and will get it on the rocks directly. Pretty cool to drive, it's a different challenge and I'm looking forward to working the rocks with it.

Got mine last night too and what a rush this little rig is. All you haters from a few months ago will be all over this like a Hobo on a sandwich.

Good job Losi on this little gem. my girlfriend says it tickles...

Are there any plans to release some in an un-assembled form? To me building them up is half the fun, as I'm sure it is to most everybody else on here also..

I'm very interested in what happens with this little truck I would be delighted to see a these little guys competed either in a box stock or open class. I currently have a 2.2 shafty and a 1.9 scaler under construction but I'm unsure if I want to make the transition to a shaftless rig. I'm fine with my 2.2 shaft rig at this point, so this has become a interesting new possibility for me rather adding a second 2.2 rig at this point in time.

It would also open new crawl spots that curently aren't very challenging for a 2.2 not to mention indoor opportunities on man made crawl courses.

umm ... what I was trying to say I'm not sure I'm going to a Berg type rig (shaftless) at this point as I'm satisfied with my shafty. But your right I have no excuse but to get one.

Thanks again for creating a new demand...

I ordered two.I am curious what are the ideas for a spec class? Tires,battery and location, suspension links,body,motor,esc,servo should be spec'd? I would be very interested in creating a spec class also. What would be fair to tamper with?Shocks are a given.Tire foam? I ran in a stock slider class last winter and the rules got diluted very quickly,so im hesitant to allow much,but its in everyones nature to modify!Let me know your thoughts!

One other question, since it's a spektrum setup with the tx/rx... is it possible to bind the rx with a DX3R?? Just wondering, cause I just like having one remote to keep up with.. and I have a hard enough time with that..

I know that with the Losi late models you could bind to 3r,so I dont see why you would not be able to bind the mini crawler rx to you 3r. Now this is assuming Losi is still using the same spektrum rx that they have been using in there Late model and a couple others...
