|  Ax10 inspired MRC(updated pics) Well I wanted to incorporate what I have learned with my Ax10, into the MRC. Here is what I came up with. First of all I got rid of the electronics tray, very common on the ax10 I then made trays for the lower links, and proceeded to mount my electronics the cells are obviously to big to mount on the axles so I took apart a battery I had for my recoil and looked at all my optioins before that I mounted my shocks and re-enforced the chassis with some extra axial links I had. Well here is what I came up with, with all the weight up front it crawls incredibly well, now onto some pics....       What do you guys think, so far crawling over all the clothes and building supplies(Bathroom remodel), it has handled extremely well..... Last edited by nmanuel01; 09-08-2008 at 12:22 PM. |

| here is its crawling off the entertainment center, the batt just moves with the crawler. so far no issues with it rubbing or limiting articulation...  |

| it wouldn't really be a crawler without at least a little of "that green" on it, would it? |

| Hello I have (before I got the Mini crawler) a similar batterypack. I'va used the similar batterypack on my AX10 (only bigger cells) for months. A perfect pack - weight om both axels. For the minicrawler I've ordered the pack with the standard connector as on the minicrawler. |
