Free project MCRC

[Jeepkid]

Okay, yeah I built a micro every once and a while. Yes, I sell them after a month. This time I did some sales for a buddy, mainly selling a ( parting out a) crawler. He had some left overs in his hobby room and said take it all. I grabbed a box and filled it up, not looking in it. I got home and started unloading. WOW BND micro in thee bottom NIB So I dug into it and there was BWD bling within I then knew I wanted a long WB and Miclaws. Ordered the Miclaws, then got to work. I did the good ol' DANALLY widener mod in just the front. Used the stock MCRC links on the BWD chassis, then reduced me some wires up. Added full disc BWD wieght beadlock rings and a 1/4oz stick on wheel wieght front just under the driveshaft input on. I then did the decasing, then used BWD beadlock wieght rings rear. Chopped the front coils alittle, and glued the servo saver up. I got a 4.75WB and love it. The truck is light and climbs awsome. I will update as I go, if you got any questions just ask

Oh, lipo and 31oz in servo on the way

Back again Nice to see it. Great little rig so far. NOW KEEP THIS ONE!!!

[Jeepkid]

I will keep it. When I'm not running it, my 3year old daughter is setting up pillows and 20oz bottle caps for a course. Start'em young

LOL..welcome back again. Nice rig. Whats the method of widening? The danally method? I too just got back into the micro scene and need to widen my stance.

[Jeepkid]

I widened the fronts the DANALLY way The rear is stock offset, and makes this thing look like a small XR. I'll put up pics of it the way the stance is tonight.

There you go http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...hlight=DANALLY

I have a new way to widen that is easier but it takes 2 sets of rims...I will make a post soon. It is not quite as wide and doesn't require cutting the rim.

nice score jeepkid, should be an interesting build. I still kinda want one for playing around inside, but like you I could see myself selling it within a month.

As of right now this is the comp micro and I got ideas for a scaler that I may or may not make. I am still too focused on my 2.2 comp rig to focus directly on micro, my daughter loves this truck so much. So much she walks around with it all proud. I am planning a few things that will walk in the steps on the great micro master DANALLY

You are too kind

I am moving on to more scaler types myself. I bought a Sumo micro and can't wait to show you all how I used Sumo parts to make some cool Micro's. I have a rock racer that is turning out SICK

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[Jeepkid]

Alright guys, I got thee micro servo and the lipo's for this. Should have it all going in a bit. My oldest daughter comes home tonight from her grandmas and I want it ready for her. The stock servo cant handle the Miclaws, so I hope 31oz in will do. I want to figure out a few thing and see if dig is possible with the BWD chassis. I can almost do so of the stupid lines I want this little dude to do. This brings me back to the MOA idea I have had and still have the drawn up ideas for. Could we see a MOA from me?

[Jeepkid]

Yes? No? What do you think?

[DANALLY]

Beaking out the Walmart Jeep! Sorry I am not a huge fan of these. I tried cutting one up and it went into the trash. The best thing about the top is the room under it to fit electronics. You could fit a 4 channel system with a winch and 4ws! Good luck

[Jeepkid]

I did chop it up a bit already. I will have to get pics of it cut up. Idk if I will do it up this way, as I have no idea where to start on a scaler. I do like the looks of the body, but want to keep the free micro compish. I may wait a bit till my hand is forced to buy another micro and do a micro TTC. Thta would have to have sumo axles.

Do you like your micro's to go super slow or have some wheel speed?

I got the 2s today and I can control it very well. It seems smoother then some say they are with 2s. I know my daughter likes it. I'll try to get pics up tomorrow with the chopped JK boby and the servo and lipo I got for 14bucks
