Thanks Shell! I too have been thinking about making some pin tires for this little guy. Be sure and let us know if you do make them, I will do the same.

Shelby, you're a good one to ask since you basically swapped over your existing gear with no major changes...
Did you drop any weight in the swap?

4xFord · 09-25-2010, 08:08 PM

Actually I added weight to the wheels so I wouldn't be able to tell you for sure yet, I have been running a heavier overall setup to try it out. So far the Jury is still out.

You're still well under 3 lbs, right?
Those tiny batteries? They are around 325 mAh, correct? It's time for me to get some new ones, and I'd love to be able to build a new servo plate and move it up on the front like that.

Shell, the blue ones in his pictures are the stock Losi lipo.

Very cool! This chassis won't dissapoint, the machining and performance is flawless!

4xFord · 11-09-2010, 01:32 PM

Well hopefully I willget some updated pics soon. I am running the vendetta shocks front and rear now. The rears have a long 2mm dubro rod end to get the extra length out of them that the losi shocks had. (Thanks Eddie). I am running losi mini t front medium (red) springs in the rear and the mini T rear soft (silver) springs in the front. Also lightened her up some and she is performing awesome. If only I can learn how to drive it....

Cool crawler! What exactly did you do to your tires to make them taller?

I added a full section of tread to each tire, then cut out the sidewalls and replaced them with proline flatiron sidewalls.

So I made a video of the mini juice in action. It really shows how sick the breakover is without sacrificing handling.

Make sure to watch it in 720P

WOW !! That chassis and set up is just mental. I love it.

Great jump

JeremyH · 11-23-2010, 05:50 PM

Nice video man!

papabash · 11-23-2010, 09:42 PM

Nice vid!

4xFord · 11-23-2010, 10:54 PM

Thanks guys I had fun making it. This chassis just flat out works! Add a Crawler Mafia handwound motor and then you have an absolutely deadly combination.

Nice Video,for a minute I thought it was oval rock racing

I looked,I don't see where you mention what front servo plate your using.
Did it come with the juice,or another vendor?

Sorry Paul, its the plate that came with the mini GC2, works with the battery on the axle.

4xFord · 12-05-2010, 02:51 PM

So I narrowed the skid and spaced the cab out more, wanted it to mirror the V4 on my 2.2. Comped it and got 3rd, its handling really nicely.

Made a new side panel to accomodate for the motor sticking out. I used a heat gun to form the panel to the motor and motor plate. Should keep it from being a hang-up point.

rock hard · 12-05-2010, 06:59 PM

What servo plate are you using?
