|  Tins Losi CCR
This rig started out originally as a Losi Night Crawler. I bought it off a friend along with an extra CCR chassis with dig tranny. I ran it in two comps with the stock setup with dig tranny. I took 3rd out of 12 in the first comp and and 9th out of 14 in the second. I haven't gotten to do another comp yet since I had to move and took a new job. I am hoping to join up with some other groups while I travel around.    I recently got some more parts off eBay with which I wanted to finally make this thing into a full CCR. I also had a friend sping me some custom links. I switched from the stock Losi electronics to a Goat 3S with 21.5t brushless motor. Got me some much better wheel speed, reduced my heat, and made this thing a lot more capable. I also chopped the heck out of the body so that the tires wouldn't rub. I hope to afford a DMG ALT top for it.     If you look you can see my unique servo hook up for the dig. I had to hang it off the back of the chopped receiver tray. I was having a hard time finding the servo mounts that are supposed to be on top of tranny. It works, just sort of ghetto.  I reduced some of the flex since I felt that it was over flexing leading to my poor comp score last time around.  Thanks for looking.

Nice Truck !! Looks like you are off to a good start !! How did your friend put his logo on the links?? Did he have a punch stamp or something?

I had some axial wheels but there were a smidge wider and I wanted the narrower wheel to make the rover bite better. The holes don't line up exactly, I put the screws in at a bit of an angle and went real slow. Only one stripped out of all the wheels.  I have to watch because once in a while if I stuff a tire good and I can pop the bead. Apparently the difference between losi and axial wheels.I put the blue rings on the weighted wheels so I could tell the difference easily. I had a set of flat irons mounted up too with orange rings, but the rovers are just a much better tire. The guy who made my links is Rik over on eparccrawlers.com I don't know how he stamped the logo on them. He works at a machine shop. Cost me about $60 in parts trade. Not sure if he would make more or not. |

What didn't work on your Axial wheels? Mine didn't seem to have an issue, although I never tried to crawl with them on. The links are spun aluminum. The lid came with the Night crawler this started out as. Custom air brush job, but I went and chopped it up (I didn't want to, but it rubbed bad). |

| More updates on the CCR
Well I threw a Gota 3s in this with a 21.5 brushless. Then I got a used ALT DMG tube topper for it. Haven't been able to make it to any other comps, but I have kept practicing when I can find rocks. Traveling makes it hard to find places to crawl. I run the Slash a lot more.    Now i just need a more powerful servo and some more aluminum upgrades. |

Try to find a set of Comp Crawler shocks, either here in the classifieds or on ebay. Looks good so far though.
