Hi all,

I just started my (what I expect) long way as a scale rock crawler. I used to do trailing (1:1) and now I encountered the rc rock crawlers hobby, like, IMMEDIATELY looked for an online store and purchased my Losi mini rock crawler (on the way here :mrgreen. I have to say I'm amazed the high level of detail these little guys have. Can't wait ofr the MRC arrives to start modyfing it!

OH btw. Anyone knows where I could get a chassis, maybe head/tail lights and bodies for making the Losi MRC look more like a scaler? I found the proline chevy blazer body and chassis bars from SAC racing but I don't know if they're any good, also I haven't found anything like a headlight unit, don't even know If such thing exists (as a separate accessory, and for 1:18 scale)

Thanks!

Check these out. They are for axial but they might fit and for like 20 bucks might be worth looking at.

Pretty nice machining! but, and just wondering since I don't know squat about crawlers right now, what else would I have to change? I'm guessing shocks, anything else?

 

[The Misfit]

i do not see y u would need shocks i have one on the mini losi an all that is is a cupal of frame rails remove the stock mini losi chase an replace with the frame rail but there are lots of holes to mount the trans in diffrent spots an lots of holes to mount the shocks other than that it should be pritty easy to switch out it should look good on a scaler.

My dad took my old losi mini rock crawler and made it into this.

He bought some square tubing. heated it up, bent it the way he wanted it, then cute it down the middle. made shock mounts, links mounts. and it works great. It's a copy cat of my SCX 10 "thumbsup"

Great, I just wanted to be sure before starting to move things around, thanks! I guess the TCS chassis will be the next acquisition "thumbsup"

Yea its for a 1/10th. I bought it for my Honcho. I put it on and it looked gay so my dads like f.u.c.k. it and thought of something and made it happen

Great, I think I'll be looking at a Defender body for my project... Will take a look into it, in the meantime I'll see what it can do, just arrived today!
