|  Carbon Fiber Mini Juice Build
I built a Mini Juice earlier this year,but just couldn't get it to perform as well as my BWD Mini Wedge. I ended up selling it,but really missed the little guy. I think the Mini Juice is one of the best looking Chassis out there. I decided to do another build with some changes inspired by 4xFord's Build. I got another mini juice from a local club member,and used it to have a new one cut in Carbon Fiber with a redesigned skid. I was able retain the angled skid concept and narrowed everything. The narrowed skid allowed me to obtain much better driveshaft angles and shock angles. One thing I had problems with my old minijuice was the shocks did not travel freely and would pop the shocks off alot. Ithink the narrow skid design has eliminated that. Well here are some specs and pics. Carbon Fiber Chassis TI links BWD Servo/4link plates Hot Racing Tranny Gears BWD Motor Plate MIP Drive Shafts RC BROS.

That looks killer! I just narrowed the skid on my own and redrilled. Hopefully I will finish rebuilding mine soon and update the thread. Also, a friend of mine in our local club runs similar tires, and had to heavily trim them to get them to fully perform, I would suggest the same.

Rainy days make for crawler build time. When I get home,I'm going to get the electronics in. Going with a Micro Mamba Max and a 18 turn Brood Anarchy motor. Might get a chance to drive the basement a little.

I will be curious to see what you think of those tires more than anything.
