here are a few pics of my mrc build, started out as a rtr, now has a dinky tuber,ez run brusshless,1550 lipo. integy links. next up will be shocks.

Good start. A must have is lockers all around, the plastic will not hold up. Upgrade the servo later or at least get rid of the servo saver, you won't need it. Comping with this or just bashing?? Can't wait to see more. the dinky looks kind of like my A.L.T. for the LCC.

Thanks, Sorry forgot about the lockers,just installed the losi metal lockers the other night,got the full size servo waiting on the table for install later tonight. Just bashing unless i can find a few comps around my area. Thought about motorama in feb. not sure yet.

I am going for the first time. It should be a blast. I would suggest some other tires than the stock ones also.

tires make a world of difference. i recommend rovers. i love the dinky chassis's. you should lower cog just a tad so it isnt so top heavy.

do you have any cogging issues with your ez-run brushless setup?

Tires are on the list right behind the shocks,Iam gonna lower it a bit, its no to bad right now, The ez-run has cogging issues, but ive found its much better when its not in the crawler mode.

Stock pinion right now, probably a set of losi threaded shocks, are there any out there that are better?

Hey, looking good there man!

Just finished another one of these chassis,
It's in the Custom Chassis Showcase in the Vendors section
if any one wants to check it out.

Thanks, Great chassis. Any chance you have a extra hood for one of these?

I run the losi threaded shocks and they seem to be really nice, but you have to get the mini-t shock cartridges so they won't leak. I think some people run a duratrax shock but not sure which one, I'm sure you could search around a little and find out.

Sorry, but no. Each hood is heat-formed and hand molded to the exact frame it came with. I figured if any one ever had an issue, they could fix it up, or mod it, with some simple styrene work. If you still can't get it how you want, I could make another if you sent it back to me. Really no way around it, because they are so form fitting.

No problem, its only got a litle crack in it, i can take care of it.

Very cool chassis. Hadn't seen that one before. If I had bought a regular MRC, rather than the Pro Roller, I'd be taking a serious look at that.
