1/12 Losi Micro Vinson 4x4 ATV
 

Hey guys.... I got bored and started tinkering. Let me know what you think!
I started with a Losi MCRC with a BWD comp chassis and billet wheels. I added QLO tires and flipped/trimmed the BWD chassis and added a 1/12 Model of a Suzuki Vinson 500cc 4x4 Quad. I used the model swing arm and drilled the axle out of it to make room for the losi axle to pass through. There is suspension in the rear but no flex as it is a solid swing arm like a real quad. I couldnt keep the IFS in the front and make it 4x4 so I clipped the models die-cast frame's front end to make room for the front live axle and 4-link. Still working out kinks and need to add electronics and battery but its coming together and I wanted to share......."thumbsup"
Stock width of 3.75 and a wheelbase of 4.75 inches
Pics, now that its pretty much done...

Looks good!"thumbsup" I think some diff. wheels would complete it...

I like it. Got plans for a rider?

+1 you need a rider

+2 rider

I'm so glad I found this thread. I've been thinking about making a pair of these quads since I first started seeing the body donor's on the shelves of a couple local shops. Now that there are Suzuki Vinsons out here though, I'm going to HAVE to go ahead with the Bombardier quads.

I'm in the middle of building a Polaris Side x Side...and the last thing I need is another project. :roll:

Keep up the good work! Looks great. "thumbsup"

Thanks for the comment guys. Also I never thought I would build a quad (its not really my style) but after seeing how detailed this thing was I had to try a build. Im stopped till I can get some shocks (mine broke) and then, yes, I will add a rider..... updates asap

That is sweet! Now you just need a trailer for it to be towed behind a rig!

LOL! Awesome! I agree..needs a rider. Im thinking red flannel shirt and trucker hat. ..and a fishing vest. Or head to toe real tree camo. Carhart jacket. or Smokey the Bear. too funny! nice work!

that thing is awsome...what are the dimentions on the body? im thinking of doing the same thing with the 1/12 rhino body but cant find the specs on this one to compare to.

that would look great in the bed of a 1/10 scaler "thumbsup"

Thanks guys, buuuutttt...... This ATV is on it's way to a member in Japan. Shipped to his apo last week."thumbsup"

I got the ATV in the mail yesterday. This thing is an awesome little crawler. Its so well put together it looks like it was bought this way. I will update this thread as I finish it up and get it on the trail.

Awesome!

That's pretty awesome! It would look great in the back of a 1.9 scaler. "thumbsup"

Glad it made it in one piece! Can't wait to see it finished. Love to see a video when you get it put together!"thumbsup"

Well almost one piece...LOL. The USPS was rough on it and broke the left rear axle tube. No worries though its all fixed. Its currently apart awaiting a Red Vinson body and trying to rig up a steering post that turns the bars when the wheels turn. Also drilled some holes for headlights and taillights. Ill get a video as soon as its done."thumbsup"

OK, That thing is just plain awesome. I so love it.

WOW :0
Ive been thinking about doin this for a while and you did it just right! sweet build

this thing is amazing so what would it cost to build another one ?

I think the ATV model was 15 or 20 bucks, then the cost of a stock losi mcrc, then the wedge chassis and bwd wheels and MiniQlo tires.... Im not sure what I had in it when I sold it because I picked alot of it up in trades....."thumbsup"
