Team Losi mini rock crawler modifications

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Reading this, I assume you know how stock Team Losi mini rock crawler looks, since I don’t have any images of a stock one. Google does!

First of all, top plate was removed, gear box turned around and electronics placed where I wanted them.

A 5x3mm carbon tube was added as stiffer for the chassi when top plate was removed. Shocks was mounted on the outside making them not straight.

Electronics in and I made a battery tray.

I tend to use this car anywhere in any weather. The electronics in my car has been opened and tried several times, so I decided to the essential parts in balloon. Servo is shipped waterproof.

Velcro on roof, weird, eh? well, I had a 1/10 body laying around and it turned to look great on this car. It was hard to mount and I wanted to be able to remove the 1/10 body from the car when I needed ultimate crawler abilities.

A box was necessary to get enough height over wheels.

I still have the bead lock mod. to do on this car. It will be done as soon as I find a suitable pipe to use.

As always, more and larger pictures in my gallery.
