|  Tanis's MiniGC2
Big thanks to Austin for the sweetness, this chassis is going to be the one to beat in '09.   You can find them in the vendor section here, http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=154298So I hit the local hobby shop today to pick up a Losi crawler for this build, and a big bottle of my favorite beer on the way home..........   Had to go with the red one, so that my youngest daughter would have a spare body for her mini:-P, although I'm partial to red anyway.  Everything was neatly packaged in separate little baggies, very easy to lay out and get started and a complete package kit, no need to hunt for any extra parts  Started off assembling the lower links  Chassis together   Limiting the shocks    All bolted up     All the electronics up front  Gotta roll with some Vanquish Lil Harry's   Need to mount the body and get to trimming it  |

THe build looks great! I noticed you limited the front shocks and not the rears. Is this what the GC2 requires? What oil are you running in the shocks and how are you dealing with the MRC torque twist?

Brilliant build Nathan. I see now that I will need to buy a new MRC so I can run that awesome chassis (all my mounts are shaved off my MRC axles).

I haven't driven mine yet, need to finish up the little things yet here in a bit, but the link/chassis geometry takes care of most of the TT by design I'll be tweaking on it to get it dialed for our comp on sunday.

And I sold some parts the last few days, and figured a brand new start would be nice with this chassis.

Looking good Nathan, but what's up with the stock electronics? Wish it was midnight already so I can start on mine. |
