|  Carvers Mini So far I've moved the Esc to the rear servo plate, I've moved the Rx onto the upper link on a piece of lexan zipped tied. I ditched the electronics/batt mount and I'm running an elite 1500mah 3cell pack behind the servo on a piece of lexan. I also installed some 35wt. oil and 2.5oz of weight to the front wheels. Future mods include: Losi grappler, and some experamenting with some memory foam. Here's some pics,    Last edited by carver; 09-05-2008 at 11:17 PM. Reason: pics? |

| 3 cell is not going to work, 3.6v they still don't have enough power with 7.2v. i would rather have high center of gravity then no power. |

| How much of a difference did those mods make for you? Was it a pretty substantial improvement? |

| I installed some 45wt shock oil to the rears and made a huge diference. tourque twist is minimal. I also limited the shocktravle inside about 3/16" seems to be just bout right. Can't wait for the mini grappler |

| Thanks, I like them too. These were the easiest wheels to mount ever. Thanks Gerame for these sweet wheels, I'll probably try the comp heavies as well. They look sick in white. |
