It's here

. I got my shiny new Losi MRC from TCS this morning. It's a really impressive piece of kit and I can't wait to get it on some rocks.

Side on

Next to a Moab 2.2 tyre

Front

Rear

Flexin with the body off

I ran it around the house for a while but then I got bored of it and stuck my SJ body on it

.

I also though it would look good with a winch on the front so I grabbed a Wild Willy unit out of my spares box.

I might stick a spare wheel on the back but I'm not sure yet.

Oh and the first person to spot the deliberate mistake wins.

I also checked out your shopping list of T-Maxx parts.

That alot of pounds!

Did you pick up the Sammy body in the UK or the States?

Can't find the link to the one source I had, and I'm interested in the same thing. (mrc/ kinda scale samurai)

I got mine from japan. I got mine from here http://www.genkidoridori.com/ but I don't think they stock it anymore. It might be worth emailing them though.

My Losi came like that, same shock too.

Tupers · 11-08-2008, 06:03 PM

Well it hasn't stayed stock for long. I drove it around the house a bit more this afternoon and realized that the COG was way to high. I've taken the radio plate off and drilled the mounting holes out to 3mm so I can mount the shock directly to the chassis. I've cut some radio plates and mounted the ESC on the back and RX on the transmission and the battery will sit on the front. I had intended to use the stock battery but it wouldn't fit so I'm in the proses of reconfiguring it.
Hopefully these mods will make it a little more stable and alow me to lower the body. I'm also thinking of limiting the shock travel to give more scale articulation but that can wait for now.

Hopefully I'll be painting it next week. I'm stilly not sure what color I'm gunna go for though. I was thinking white with a black hood but I'm not sure.

i emailed genkidori and they are out of the samurai bodies and so is speedway pal, so probably wont be able to get one until for a while.

Stormin2u · 11-09-2008, 11:44 AM

Grrr. Well, Tupers, maybe you should hang on to yours. In 5 years it'll be worth....nevermind, paint it.

Tupers · 12-30-2008, 02:05 PM

I haven't got nearly as much done on this as I had hoped to.
Today I broke out the styrene and got back to work. I'm going for a pickup instead of soft top so I chopped the top off and I've started on the drop bed.

I'm going to blank off the back of the cab and connect the bed to the chassis. I'm also thinking of cutting out the tail gat and making some sand ladders to fill the gap.

bezrq · 01-26-2009, 04:38 PM

Mr. Ed · 01-26-2009, 05:45 PM
