Hittman's mini
 

Here goes another one... Little back story first.. I had bought a rtr mini crawler about two years ago and was very happy with it. I eventually made changes and I was extremely happy with it... Well, one day I decided i didnt want it that much anymore and sold it. Three or four months ago my buddy was selling his and i got an urge for a mini crawler again, So I present to you the mini rockshow. He had it fairly stock but it still worked great. I added my touches here and there and now it is fitted much better to my crawling style. I am hoping my club will have a 1.9 class this year, and as of now it is looking like it. So, I am anxious to see how it will do in a comp situation. Now, onto some specs:

Rigth now rtr weight is 2lbs 11.7oz without body panels. I will get some made up here soon. I had some, but the color matched my old wheels, so now i need to paint some that match"thumbsup"

Thanks for looking!

Re: Hittman's mini
 

I am so glad some one talked you into them wheels! They look sick! Tires look like balloons! Nice clean wires, good looking rig Christian..

Now.. the flex shot, two pics up, on the foam.. Is that a hole from shaving the sidewalls too much! You better get that guy that made them, to fix that... :flipoff:

Re: Hittman's mini
 

I know right! I need to talk to that guy that suggested them and thank him:mrgreen: And clean wires.. hahaha that is funny.. That is a birds nest bro:oops: Thank you for the kind words thou!

And hey hey hey.. none of this.. It was either fix the hole or get pictures so you can get off my back about posting a thread:flipoff: Plus.. its an extra vent hole:ror:

Nice mini bro thanks for posting up the pictures I hope mine turns out this nice!

Re: Hittman's mini
 

Haha yeah.. I was messin around with the esc and its easiest to take that support out.. I guess i forgot to put it back together:ror:

No problem bro, If you need more specific shots lmk and i can get you some"thumbsup"

Re: Hittman's mini
 

Hahahahahaha.. I was trying to say something nice right before I got ya for ruining those sweet tires! Extra vent hole... Extra hole to catch a rock an tear th side wall! No wonder the tire builder told me to be careful when I said bout shaving my 4.25" rovers!

Re: Hittman's mini
 

Truck looks great. No knuckle weights? Love the look of the shaved 4.25 rovers"thumbsup"

Re: Hittman's mini
 

a pretty as the blue screw in the servo is, i would definitely recommend against having an aluminium screw anywhere in the steering.

Re: Hittman's mini
 

Wow when you sent me a pic of the wheels you were getting I didn't know they would look that nice They look sick! "thumbsup" How heavy is your wheel and tire combo?

Re: Hittman's mini
 

Exactly why i told you! I shaved that one, and then that same night you said you were gonna shave yours.. so thats why i cautioned you"thumbsup"

Thanks, I want some.. just havnt gotten around to ordering them.. I think i have the hook up on some thou8)8)8)

It holds tight actually. I run all aluminum screws in my sporty and that servo has 500oz of torque.. and I have never had a problem. Lucky i guess?? I will be changing all the hardware in this over to aluminum soon, but if i have problems with the steering I will change it out right away"thumbsup"

Thanks man, They definitely changed the look of it.. I dont have the exact weight on hand. I will try and get that over the next couple days. I do know that the rears are unweighted and the fronts have 1.5oz, but i am not sure of overall weight.

Re: Hittman's mini
 

could you pull your wheels off of it and sit in on the table flat and take me a picture please?

Re: Hittman's mini
 

Sure bro, Let me see what i can get tomorrow"thumbsup"

Re: Hittman's mini

Re: Hittman's mini
 

Yes, It does make a big difference. When you are sanding you have to be careful not to go through the rover sidewall because it is already a thin sidewall. If you are not comfortable sanding, just cutting the side lugs off really makes a difference too"thumbsup"
