Default mini juice AKA "vitamin c"

well i had to do it ...i went out and got a donor rig to start my 1.9 build

then i got on the site RCC and looked in the vendors section and order krawlfreaks mini beetle juice chassis in white


got some RIT dye sun shine orange and bright yellow and mixed them to get this

then i got on CKRC's site and ordered a boat load of parts
aluminum tranny case
HR gears for the inner and spur gear
crawler mafia motor 18t


then got on RCBROS site and ordered
high clearance steering knuckles
front servo mount
diff lockers front and rear
and started assembling the rig together






then what is a rig without some VANGQUISH BLING on it

more pictures to come as i get some more work done ...thanks for looking

Oh sure , i hear ya but i think that's like sayin that you drive 2.2 comp because everybody else does. J/K brada , but if this is just a time killer truck? i would really be amazed too see what you'd build as a serious comp rig ...

I take it the juice chassis front uppers are behind the servo and gives room for the ota link from rcbros??

min juice front plate (as it comes) has the upper links ends, in front of the servo, so no over the axle steering, unless you either (what I did) drill new holes to the back of the plate, or (as it appears here) flip the plate around 180deg, and drill a new hole for the plate/axle screws.

I do like the idea of buying white colour and dying it, superb work!
