|  BrandtH's MRC Build
The MRC went on sale just a few weeks before my son's 2nd birthday and since he cant keep his hands off of my RCs, I decided it was time for his own.  Specs will be pretty basic: MRC Pro Xcelorin System 5645MG wired directly to Losi 2S lipo Body painted yellow (his favorite color) FlySky GT3B Tx/Rx (you cant beat $7 2.4GHz receivers!) It came in a few weeks ago, but we opened it up last night for his birthday (today). Here is what resulted:  During this next picture he kept saying "I cut"  |

Can a 1/16th brushless setup fit on these pros? I have a extra traxxas brushless setup from my e-revo. Would be sweet if it worked. But the traxxas esc doesnt have a brake function I dont think. |

This was a great idea! Not a bad reason to add another truck to the family  Where did you get yours? Those are ARTR's, right? |

Awesome response Jeremy! Mine has to wait until August 1st for his. He started driving mine around 2 years old including tanks and I think it's the perfect age to start. He is already so much more mechanically coordinated than any of his friends his age and many older ones too. |

Im gonna order my truck today. I will test the 1/16th motor out. But I did look at it beside my mini lst motors. The traxxas motor is alot bigger. In length and circumfrence. It prolly wont work. Oh well I need to find me a brushed motor. |

I use the flysky GT3B. It is a great value. I'm not having any issues with it. There is a review on YouTube for under ultimateRC. He does very respectable reviews and he really doesn't have anything bad to say about this radio.

We made a bit of progress on this truck after we got home this afternoon. First, some of the electronics:  Then, Brandt decided that the puny 1.9 Rock Claws weren't going to cut it for him...  Viola!  |
