Default Jeremy's 2011 Rebuild - MiniJuice

Well, after doing fairly well with my previous build:
Jeremy's 1.9 Comp Rig
I decided on a new setup.

Jeremy hooked me up with one of his new prototype Mini Juice chassis. I'll be building it over the next week or so.

Specs:
MiniJuice Chassis
Lunsford Links
17T Crawler Mafia Motor
Mamba Micro Pro/Castle BEC
Rovers, Wheel Works, Axial, Novas

Pics:


Angled skid to keep driveline angles set nicely with recessed screw holes on the bottom of the skid:


You can space the upper part of the cab how you want....I'll run it a bit narrower in the rear:

I'll get building on the rest of it soon. Paul, yeah, Nabil showed me what I was doing wrong with the calibration of that ESC, but I still wasn't happy that it cut out on me when I was running a course, so I am switching back. Never had that issue with my brushed motors and castle products.

Progress! (+2)





It looks like I'll be able to keep my BTA. I also will be moving the front shocks...outboard them on both the upper and lower mounts.

Man, there's no pleasing you!

Actually, I was thinking the same thing. I've been looking for my Losi shocks this morning...
