| Losi MRC Pro build.
I have built two 2.2 comp crawlers and decided to build my first 1.9 comp crawler. With some advice from some guys in my club ( WARCRC ) I went ahead with my build. Here is what I have so far. *Losi Pro roller. *Holmes hobbies 22 turn mini torquemaster. Stock pinion and spur. *Tekin FXR ESC mounted on rear upper links. *CC BEC wired direct to servo and set a 6Volts, mounted on rear upper links. *JR DS8711 servo (403oz at 6Volts) *Modified stock servo plate along with AX10 plate and center mounted the servo leaving the upper links in stock position. *MIP CVD driveshafts *Spektrum reciever for DX3R. *Overdrive front axle mod with traxxas pinion gear. *MaxAmps 860 lipo batteries mounted on front upper links via lexan and velcro. these packs provide a ton of juice and great run times. They fit perfect with no room to spare. *Losi aluminum zero ackerman steering knuckles and c hubs. *Vanquish products "Little Harry" procomp wheels with 2 sets of bullet weights. *Crawler Innovations single stage nova foams, soft in front, med in rear. *HB 1.9 Rover tires. *Front wheels with full weights, foam, and tires=7.9oz *Rear wheels with 2 weights, foam, and tires-4.7oz *Outboarded shocks with losi kit. *Outboarded upper links. Still to do: Underdrive on rear axle. Custom 4" tires. Thank you to BaDDMaN, and Cboggs for all there help. This little crawler crawls great, I am very impressed. Here are a couple action shots at my local comp/Crawl spot. [IMG] Last edited by TedBull; 01-04-2011 at 02:04 AM. |

Hows the 22turn motor feel? I have both the 33T ad 22T from John Holmes, only tried the 33T for now. It feels real good. Plenty wheel speed and torque, really controllable low down too. I was going to try the 22T but worried about losing low end fine control? |

| It has good low end torque and the throttle response is very smooth. It also has a decent amount of wheel speed. I will be buying a 17 or 18 turn mini contraband crawler mafia motor from paul when he has more availible just because I hear they are the best.

| im running the 18 with a 2s and if the course requires some rock hopping i'll use a 3s im starting to use the 3s more and more, you just need to be careful on the trigger finger. I had to drill the cvd's and put in bigger drill bits to keep them from breaking.

| I had the same question, The website is confusing. I had to call and ask. So yes, a quantity of 1 = 2 wheels. So for the wheels, beadlocks and two weight sets everything in my shopping cart had a QTY of 2. And I love the wheels and will be buying a set of the DH procomp 2.

Paul from crawler mafia has the underdrive method. No drop in mod yet. Send him a PM, He will hook you up or read his thread and do it yourself. Crawler Mafia UnderDrive Mod Last edited by TedBull; 01-06-2011 at 12:44 PM. |
