I'm thinking you're going to love all the steering you'll gain with a smaller tire. My Outcroppers are half an inch smaller and they hit my links with stock knuckles and no CVD's.

like he said big tires are a real performance killer. They also kill the stock plastic lockers. My Flat irons broke the front rear and center plastic lockers within 10 minutes of running them. So id say get full metal lockers as your first upgrade. I also like the rock lox tires as a scale tire. look exactly like super swamper iroks

Thanks dood!

The Rox Lox's I had already(spares for my 1.9 scaler). But here is the bad news, I have decided to keep the MRC has a comp rig and not a scaler. Sorry! Maybe I will get bored and turn it into a scaler later on.

Here is the body I bought for it.

wheelinjp · 08-31-2009, 12:15 AM

cool. thats what i will be doing with the next mrc i buy. just go get the metal lockers, and some alum bodied shocks. I like my hot racing ones that are a lil cheaper than the losi ones. cool idea.

bmx_ican92 · 09-01-2009, 09:14 PM

So are you guys saying 1.9's break the lockers? What about the stock losi's?

There just saying the plastic lockers suck and upgrading them sooner then later is best bet!

justinart24 · 09-04-2009, 01:22 AM

Got some Flatirons tonight, thanks Sean(Peanut Gallary).
I will be painting the Descender Body Orange and white this weekend, hence the name "Sherbet".

I also got some metal lockers for the axles coming in the mail.

Just for kicks I put my old Marui Big Bear body on it.

justinart24 · 10-18-2009, 03:01 AM

Got some stuff done today.

Trying out a new shock setup. :annoy:

muddog27 · 10-18-2009, 08:38 AM

looks good. keep up the good work.

Mr. Ed · 10-18-2009, 10:22 AM

Looking real good keep up the good work, Nuthin like a MRC and Cold PBR

dman1101 · 10-18-2009, 11:33 AM

We'll have to get together maybe by meadowdale and crawl sometime with the mini's I am finishing mine up hopefully by the end of the week, plus I need to also rebuild the shocks on my ax10 and rewire my scx10. I've seen your cars around they look great.

derek

justinart24 · 10-19-2009, 03:08 PM

Thanks for the thumbs up everyone!

Well, Saturday night I stayed up till 1am working on this. With no test and tune, I placed 9th out 11places at the WARCRC comp sunday. I had a blast with this little rig.

Future plans, limit the travel even more and add a " Hitec HS-5645MG " servo.
