Default 4xFord's MiniJuice!!!

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.

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

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

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.

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.
