Swell's "FreeRide" - Snipe/V2

[swell searcher]

I built this rig over the weekend and calling it my "freeride" rig. It will be mostly for rock racing and general bashing.

Thanks to The Crawler Store, Holmes Hobbies, Vanish Products, and my LHS.

MRC axles with Hot Racing Lockers and TCS rear support plate
Holmes Hobbies Torque Master mini motor with stock pinion
DMG Snipe/V2 chassis with Losi Mini Grappler body
Hot Racing MRC shocks
TCS Upper Link Plates
Vanquish Products 1.9 SX Series beadlocks
Losi 1.9 Rock Claws (blue) with memory foam
Spectrum DX3R with stock Losi receiver
stock MRC transmission
stock Losi servo
stock Losi battery

Hopefully this week I'll switch over to the Losi MRC shocks. I also plan in the near future to install Losi CV axles, the Novak Mongoose Crawler mini brushless system, a CC BEC, and a full size servo. After that, I'll upgrade the knuckles, C's, and straight axle setup to all aluminum.

Right now, I'm running the Snipe with the stock MRC suspension setup except that I inboard the shocks. I'll probably switch that setup to DarkSoul Inboard shock mount. I'll probably switch to delrin suspension links too.

I have not had time to tune the rig yet since I was waiting for the Losi shocks at my LHS. Hopefully this weekend, Freeride will see the rocks.

Looks great, I really like that V2 chassis.
