Well, this is more like a built thread than a build thread. Here are the specs.

Y-Town Crawler's MiniJuice

Crawler Mafia Handwound 18 turn motor

Mamba Micro Pro
Hitec 5955TG (run straight off the 2s lipo)
VP LH Wheels
4" Rovers

I will get more pics soon, here is a pic from nats with my crappy panels.

Oh ya don't mind the ugly dude holding the 4pk.

rock hard · 09-15-2010, 09:57 PM

looking at the shadows,I'd say you must have been one of the 1st to run that course.Parker looks pretty excited,that water was all mental.
And didnt you build that baby like just 6hrs before that pic

Ya that was pretty early the water was roaring by but hardly got the truck wet.

So this is how she sits, no changes since nats, I'm gonna go to a softer spring in the rear but thats all I can think of changing for now. She worked great at nats, it was just the driver that needed some work, along with a few inconvienient failures (rear shock rod end pulled out and broke a front hex pin).

Looks good shelby, I like those tires.

JeremyH · 09-16-2010, 09:21 AM

This thing performed very well at Nationals! I was kicking myself in the ass for not switching mine over that evening.....

Looking good shelb. Stock Losi sliver spring are softer than blues.

krawlfreak · 09-16-2010, 09:58 AM

seems like you gotta knack for workin on cars the night before big events

i think this was my fault though

car looks great, i will get you some nice body panels once they get finalized. the cars worked great, short of a few breakages, but they will have there time in the near future

Shelby just supports one.....he likes the freaky chicks.

fordwheeler · 09-16-2010, 07:51 PM

looks good

how do you like the 4" rovers? Those are made with flat iron sidewalls right?
also what foam setup are you runnin?

have you tried runnin the taller rovers in front with stock rovers in rear?...results?

I've thought for a long time that a 4" tire would work good on these minis

bigflex · 09-16-2010, 10:05 PM

Those little guys sure look sweet. You do need some better panels though.

I really like the 4" rovers, they help keep the servo off the rocks and just work well overall. I am running some custom made Crawler Innovations dual stage foams in the big rovers. Honestly they are more like 4.125" but im not one to split hairs.

Nice BUILT thread. I also like this pic. You look like you are crawling on top of the world

Looks great Shelby.
The custom rovers are cool. Been thinking about doing some 1.9 pins with the Flat Irons and Ibeam remnants I have.
