Crawlerado micros fleet

[bouncingbabyboy]

Nice looking fleet. Are those the miniQLO miclow tires on your trekker? Did you have to modify the axel to make them work or did they go straight on? Those wheels are same offset as stock, right?

Do you have completed project pictures of your comp chassis?

Thanks man, I love these little micros, i have 5 of them now, lol...!

With the miclaws on the bwd wheels, you have to switch out the axles stubs to shorter micro crawler ones because you need to use the BWD wideners for such wide tires and the stock trekker hex wont work with the BWD wheels. even with the wideners there is still rub, but i love the look out it. i have some rc4wd wheels that will work and new miclaws im going to be running on there permanent just need some more time in the day.

Anything with miclaws is unstoppable, you can literly crawl right over a stocker and pick any line you want.

I have a comp crawler in the works, a micro moa in the works, and that trekker to mod.

i saw that new ridgeback and had to have it so who knows i may make that my comp chassis, to many cool ideas not enough time, im focused on my XR10 right now, so maybe the micro XR10 will follow....? hmmm...

When you switch to the micro stubs what dose the width come out to? I thought the trekker is wider. Do you end up the same width in the end with the trekker or the micro crawler?

so the the BWD wideners barrel nut on the trail trekker wont work, the axle stubs are too long. and the BWD wheels wont work with the trekker axle stubs either.( with a spacer between the nut they will or micro stubs is the right fix)

all other wheels(HR,cac,rc4wd,stock) would work with the stock trekker widener. but the BWD widener is the widest and is needed with the miclaws, THEY ARE WIDE WIDE.

but if you wanted with the longer axles stubs you could make custom wideners out out some hex, someone said 1/8 battery post worked or something, then you use barrel nuts so you can make them even wider.

I have a trekker now and I am debating getting another or a micro. I love the trekker. The wider axel and the longer drive line are the big plusses since I am looking at building a comp crawler. I have my miniQLOs on the way. I will be replacing the battery, chassis, body and links. The stubs and drive shaft are about the same price but the micro costs half as much. I guess I will be getting the micro. I have three kids so I will probably end up with both eventually.

Just to make sure I understand: the micro comes out the same width in the end as the trekker, right?

ya the trekker and micro have the same exact axles only difference is the length of the axle stub and the plastic wheel hex is wider for that longer trekker stub.

HR droop shocks...

click PIC below to play

I was sick of my crawler pinching up all the time, then i thought of this! i went with the softest springs that come with the HR's, so amazing feeling, sorry for my pic/vid quality.
