B1G's Losi Mini Crawler

[TheB1GDude]

Hi,

So I picked up one of these Losi Mini Crawler's in a trade with zippo:











It's got the 2.4GHz Spektrum DSM system and a slightly more powerful extra battery.

I ran it out on the ice yesterday:























and all I can say is that it is a blast!!

The only issue I had with it was not enough weight at the front which made it easy to roll, I've been moving the weight around so hopefully it's a little better now, I'll have to post some additional photos.

[EDIT] This is how I have the battery pack mounted:



This seems to be a popular setup on the crawler forums so I figured I would just copy The ESC and RX have been moved forwards to the battery tray.

That is legit. Love the winter crawling.

Hi all,

Been a while.... XMODs just don't occupy me like my crawlers do so unfortunately that is what most of my time goes into these days, done a ton of work on the AX-10 Scorpion so it was about time I did something with it's little brother

So I have gone from this:



To this:







Upgrades include:

New Edge solid rod tuber chassis with body panels
Hot Racing Aluminum High Clearance Suspension Links
TCS Crawlers Internal Shock Springs
1.9 ProLine Flat Irons with foams mounted on the real beadlock version of the Losi beadlock rims

Body panels are back with a white decal rather than being painted so I can change them up should I want to.

Still have a few quirks to work out such as a leaking rear shock that's throwing off my balance but other than that I should be ready for some serious crawling with this little guy sometime soon.

Thanks dude... this is my second adventure into the world of crawling, my first being my Axial AX-10 Scorpion http://xmodsource.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20081

OK so more changes... new aluminum DNA Thrasher wheels / new Holmes Hobby motor / new shocks all around... basically a whole bunch of Losi MRC Pro take off parts:










Then me being me I went ahead and got this:












As I'm sure you will all agree it is rather bada$$!! It's a custom welded frame with a custom Range Rover pickup body with interior and lights... Obviously I didn't build it but as you know I am an avid collector so when I saw it I had to have it... problem is I now have so much money into my MRC I might have to sell it to get some back to working on my Axial AX-10 as that was supposed to be my sweet ride.

Anyways unfortunately I am currently stuck in a hotel room in CT without the rest of the MRC so I won't be assembling this all just yet but rest assured there will be more pictures.

I had thought about that but they have them on the SCX10 right?? So I assume thats what the guy copied when he built the chassis just on a smaller scale, he told me 1.9s are to big for it which is what I have now and for the best performance to go with 1.55s so maybe with the smaller rim and tire stuff will be less likely to catch or vice versa... either way I could just cut them off
