Default Nebraska - MRC/Pro Build

Well during a long winter season with lots of snow I decided to build a MRC-Pro. You can tell it was cold and all I had to do was look for hop-up parts, call it the money pit.

Losi MRC-Pro
Losi Bent links rr
Hitech 7954
CC Sidewinder Micro
CC BEC
BWD Motor plate
CKRC Alum tranny case
Losi 280 motor currently with
Contraband 17t w/12t pinion (on the way)
Futaba RX
G-Made wheel wideners ff
Vanquish DH Comp's ft/rr
Crawler Innovations 4" Rover's w/foams (awesome tires Eddie)

This thing has tons of wheel speed with the Losi RX 280, can't wait until the Contraband 17t. Future plans to tilt the axle c's back 20*, New Bug Body, and possibly BTA steering w/Felenfest knuckles - LCC 2.2 v.3 axle upgrade. Hopefully I'll have it ready for the Nebraska "Central States Challenge" Central States Challenge 2011 .

7 3/4" front and hope it won't crack...I'll try the super glue option. If it does break I have a good start for a T1E or Beetle Juice mini.

Well if you break one, can I have the good one that's left over?

He's been busy piling up 16 ton of rock for our Central States Challenge and Mini Crawler Pro Nationals at the end of the month.

His rig is working really well though.
He dominated the 1.9 class with it at the last comp!

He was running Ty's more or less stock Mini Pro at the last comp. Smoked us all. He didn't even run the finials and still got second place.
Great driving Rich.

NICE!
I've been trying to decide between GC-3 or Pro.
they are both great so the choice has been hard. I guess I know which way to go now!

Vendors should be scared of the Pro. 2 world titles with a near stock truck and dominating local scenes. Makes you wonder why people spend money on all other stuff.

Just noticed the post on top, sorry I've been busy as the guys said getting ready for our comp on April 30. Team Losi Racing Mini Crawler Pro Nationals - Central States Course Construction Please feel welcome to come to Nebraska and comp with us.

I'm a person that's never satisfied and started building a mini T1E to match my berg. I've completely torn apart my MRC Pro to build this project and after running one of the other guys Pro I'm like why did I tear it apart.........dah. Fortunately we are hosting the Team Losi Racing Mini Crawler Pro Nationals and get right back into the Pro chassis for $100 entry fee, what a deal. I guess I'll give the T1E MRC to my son if I don't like it.
