Made a few changes this last week, and gave Little B a good clean up. I'll post pics in the next day or so.

With Little B making the trek to Worlds in the weeks before I decided to get him all done up Soopa clean.
I shortened the Servo and ESC wires and spent some time to murder out the wiring (even did the wires on the balance lead)
I also wrapped the battery and motor in some carbon fiber decal to give it a cleaner, darker look.
I went as far to change out the Servo arm and chassis posts too.
I have not been happy with the 4-link setups I've seen for the MRC's so J-rad and I got together and came up with a pretty clean one. I called on the help of Mike P to get it cut and shaped. I used Axial bent rod ends with none other than Lundsford Titanium to finish off the upper links.
MurfDog came through with a quick paint job the night before we left for "Worlds"

Here are some recent pics of Little B.

Your MRC looks awesome. What kind of chassis is that?

Thanks for the compliments guys.
I have to say I just can't get enough of the MRC's, they are just too much fun.

What up Ninja, Woot woot!!

Over two years and still driving little Bastard as much as ever!!

I've got more hours on this little guy than any RC I own and it has ran almost flawlessly the whole time. Huge thanks to Losi for the great product. BTW they're my best selling crawler here at West Valley Hobbies, especially this time of year. There are many couches that will have 1.9 treads all over them Christmas day

It's been a while sense the last time Little Bastard saw some real changes but over the last few weeks I've been spending a lot of quality time with him. He got a new MRC Pro chassis conversion I modified the servo plate to center the servo I think it looks better but it's mostly for my Jeep bodies. I've gone a bit over board with the wiring. After shrinking the RX, the servo and ESC plugs seemed big and bulky, so I scheduled Little B for a triple plugless surgery . I shaved down the RX pins and direct soldered all the RX wiring. Topped it all off with murdered out shrink wrap, to give it a bit more durability and a cleaner look.

I'll have Little Bastards finished pics up tonight, till then here is a few pics of my electronics plate

Nice paintjob on the shell, don't see many flames on crawlers. I've gotto ask - what are those wheels, I'm sure I've seen them before somewhere.

Nice to see something different in a Pro build.

I've been sport'n flames on most of my rigs for a while now. I might mix it up with my next batch of bodies.

As for the wheels, If you've ever seen them before it was on my rig. Those babies are a true one off set. The set I roll is the only set ever made. They have been in a few comp threads though, but just the ones I've been lucky enough to make it to.

Wow, way to step it up in the wiring dept. That looks clean

How are you liking the PRO chassis with the full droop front end? Looks like it should work pretty good.

DL Customs, yeah. He only made the one set and wasn't willing to sell the plans to these beauty's.

I works great. I just couldn't get it as low as I wanted with the sprung front so droop it is. I finished 2nd at the comp over the weekend. I had 1st locked down but I forgot to tighten my wheel nuts so on my last course I had 2 wheels fall off. No fault of the rig. Anyway, it's running fantastic and I'm very pleased with it so far.
I'm kinda known for having the best solder jobs and the cleanest wiring. I've wired up a few rigs locally so I needed to one up everyone and make my 1.9 stand out from the others. I haven't seen anyone go this far so I think I've accomplished my goal.

Wow, this little guy is hooked up!! This little guy and I have chalked up quite a few wins and we can chalk up one more this weekend!!!

I can't say enough about this truck!! The Losi MRC is a blast to drive and really brings a good size to the competition arena. I'm flat out amazed at what this rig can do. The MRC pro chassis tops it all off with unmatched performance. This setup works better than anything I've seen in this class. A few of the courses this weekend had some crazy technical sections and lines that almost everyone figured would be undoable. I saw rigs pull up and basically park at the bottom. I could come through right behind them and flat out stomp it!!

I'll stop bragging now.... well at least till I win again
