|  There is a MICRO scale forum?
No way!!! What an great excuse to repost my Micros! LOL So i have 2 Micros. A scale and a comp rig. So I got the Delerin Mirco L trail Chassis from TCS, and a 72 jeep commando 1/24 scale model. this is where that ended up.   I didnt like the stock tires or rims w/ it. I also had a gripe w/ the frame rails extending past the front grill. So I hacked the chassis, and ordered some BWD wheels and a chassis for my other micro. I also stretched the rear links a tad.      And a pic of the "OTHER" micro w/ a new chassis (It looks lame i know, just wait.)  then I got some RC4wd Tires. They look and work night and day over the stock tires.     I love these lil things. The jeep is more capable than a stock MRC. And finally, the DUO! and 2 pics of the lil comp rig.    My laptop needs to be fixed. Soon as it is, I should have some HD video of both in action  |

| Leafy Ford Bronco.
So I wanted this  to look like this.  So i needed to make me some leaf springs. I cut up of 2 thicknesses of styrene into 5 pieces like this.  then they went into a vice.  I did that 7 more times, sanded and drilled and shawing! Shackles. Some nice micro machine screws, and those SOB's bolted on.   Last edited by BEELZEBOB; 03-07-2011 at 05:07 PM. |

then came a little body mock up to plan were the tronix and such would go... this body allows me yo use 85% of the model kit, and with a scale tool box, you wont see any electronics, battery included.    I went with an id retractors for the springs and a quick coat of flat black....   I mounted the leafs to the axles by drilling the leaf and the axles, and used a lil styrene to hold it all together.   |

Well, they have nice little mounting pots on the body. So i was thinkin I may drill them out, and stick the mirrors through the body a little way.... They're getting painted w/ the grill, bumpers, dash and such But yea, just tacked on, they ripped right off the jeepster. |
