|  Dr.Frank's lil bug squeezer
Hello, my first plan was to build a Mini Moonbuggy MRC, but there was a "communication error" between me and my german team dealer. So now i put the MRC stuff on/in/at a Mini BJ:       ...did some steering mods 15° positive Caster   The rest comes out of the golden MRC: -MRC axles with some aloy parts, HR lockers and Traxxas overdrive -Savöx low profile Servo 90N at 6V over CC-BEC -HH Mini Motor at Tekin B1R, powered 350mAh 3s Rockamps Lipos -BWD motorplate and a bit moded transmisson -1.9 Rover's on selfmade Delrin wheels with VP hubs If i have a wish for free (no, not global peace this time), i wish the mountains of snow away, right now  Greetings Frank |

Ooooh thats sexy frank!! How bout some close up pics of that steering?? What servo mount is that? Did you have to bend the arms on your knuckles to get the BTA to work Come on doc....what's with these dark non doc frank like pics!?!? I have the same front servo mount and knuckles as you (from what o can see) and it looks like I will need to bend the knuckle arms to do the caster mod?? Where does the lipo mount at?

Loving those wheels there Frank I was thinking about moding my front LHs and adding hubs to them instead of running axle wideners. So after seeing yours I'm going to do it. |

WOW  great build, wheels look awsome Now..........what transmission mod? So, by clocking the front axle you can put the OTA on top of the links? Has far has the snow, you could come to Washington we only have rain |

Thanks for all the compliments  Here are some more (i hope better) pics:  The Felsenfest knuckle plates are 3mm SS, so a bit bending is no problem.   Tight fit, but still enough "space"  Looks tighter as it is, there's no rubbing.   Steering as it should be   The lil 3s Rockamp fit's just right under the hood panel (fixed with some Velcro).  Snow's still here  BTW, transmission mod needs a test before i post anything about it, sorry  Greetings Frank |

Right on frank!! Very clean.. like all your builds.... I'm trying to get my BTA to work but I'm a good amount more on caster so it's making things a bit harder to dial in...even with bent arms Great work and great pics |

Very nice setup. I love the mini juice chassis. I am also interested to know more about this "tranny mod" |
