| My 1st 1.9 comp rig
This is my 1.9 mini hopefully it will perform decently I got some tips from Shelby (4xFord) on this build and minis in general he also helped me out with a lot of the parts thanks again bud, anyways its basically done I just need to paint up the body. specs: GC3 chassis mrc axles with metal lockers tranny with alun gears and locker alum c's still need some alum knuckles but I did a zero ack mod delrin lowers losi alum beadlocks chisels nova single stage foams losi alum shocks micro sidewinder with cc bec holmes mini torquemaster hitec 5955 servo and a 4pk radio I plan on doing the lcc mod sometime soon but I will get a feel for it first and see how it does, I can't wait to get some drive time on this little guy.

Whats the wieght difference between your upper/lowers? might ought switch your uppers to delrin to, I'm just runnin the gc3's as lowers & stock lowers as uppers...never weighed them... nothin fancy been doing some tinkerin lately though...might do some delrin links??? |

Man there really isn't a big difference at all in weight the only reason I built the lowers was because I didn't have the stock lowers this rig was pieced together and when I needed the stock lowers everyone was out of stock but I do like the delrin better.

What, no red?!?! You might want to limit those shocks just a hair (~1/4"). I know most guys run the Duratrax shocks on the GC3 and they are slightly shorter than the Losi shocks. Also, Losi now makes some cartridges that include an o-ring around the base of the threads to keep the oil from leaking....you might want to read through DelMonte's MRC build and find the part number. Mine havent leaked a drop after swapping them in... |
