Snapped a couple pics while running it at an abandoned ORV park I know of. These things are a blast.    |

Thanks for posting this, I had questions about the mini and you have given me a good idea of how to do it myself. I built 1.9 and 2.2, now I wanna try my hand at this. looks awesome. I think the details complete it.

Thanks guys. I've collected quite a bit of rock & broken concrete to run the Micro on, & I run it damn near every day. The stock tires are getting thin, the paint is beat to Hell, and I love it.  |

I was looking through a bunch of micro threads and had a question about the adhesive for the metal strips used with the magnets. E6000-what is it? Nice build. |

Its a craft adhesive: http://www.michaels.com/E-6000%C2%AE...efault,pd.html I've been told its similar to Shoe Goo, but I've never used that stuff so I can't say for sure. |

I have beat this truck hard on real rocks, outdoors, thru a bunch of battery sessions. Other than losing my side view mirrors on the 1st run w/ them attached, nothing has ever cracked or broken loose on the body.

The brand name is Purple Power, & I got it at WalMart in the automotive section. Castrol Super Clean is the same type o' stuff, just a little more $$. It can be found in the same area as the Purple Power. I'm sure you can find it at places like AutoZone, Pep Boys, or O'Reillys, too. I don't know what the Clod body's are made of, but I've stripped a bunch of styrene model kits w/ the stuff & never had any distortions. |

Clod bodies are styrene too. Did that stuff eat up the glue holding the seats, dash and all together too?

No, it doesn't seem to affect glue. I was able to pop the Chevy apart w/o any serious damage before I stripped it. One trick I've heard of is to stick the parts in the freezer for a couple hours. That makes the glue brittle & therefore easier to break the bond. Haven't tried that myself, but others swear by it. |
