Default Scale MRC

I'm wondering what you guys think about a scale MRC. Stock MRC has plenty of torque but seems to lack the wheelspeed. I have seen MRC scalers, though they look good, and run good, just didnt seem right to me.

Lots of great info on here.

Thanks all

Jeff

Im a little confused with your post, but I've got two Losi MRC Scalers.

The first one is a 'cheater rig'. 10in WB, lightweight. The rig will climb up everything. I have got top 3 in almost every comp with the rig. Sometimes the lockers blow, tough beans.

My second rig is a full size rig. ~11in wheelbase, heavy pig. It runs really good as well.

Mini tourque masters on both running 2s lipos. Great wheelspeed and torque. No problem there.

We are slowly working on a chassis for the MRC RcBros MRC Scale Chassis

I prefer to have a longer wheelbase to fit the Hilux body and allowing the tires to tuck into the fender wheels like the real thing is just killer. Even with my quick mock up it does rather well against other scalers I've seen.

I really liked my MRC scaler. With the Torquemaster Mini and 2S lipo. It was slow and fast enough. At 11 inches it was almost unstoppable. And the trackwidth was nice and narrow (tires stayed underneath the body).
