    Well over the last holiday weekend I got bored as usual and decided to turn my micro into a semi scaler, found a 1/20th body that fit the wheelbase perfect and went to work.  It now has working head and tailights that are run off the internal BEC and I also made a 2S4P 380mah Lipo cell for it so runtimes are now in the 30+ minute category.

    Those bodies are perfect for them. I just did the same body in yellow on Erics. They actually crawl a little better with the heavier body on them. Now it just need some sweet little brass bumpers and some Ballistic fenders  :p

    Hey Erin what do you suggest I do next to this thing?  I can't seem to find any better wheels and tires for it, for that seems to be it's biggest downfall is grip.

    mini lqd and rc4wd for tires. Billet works makes some nice wheels also. There is a guy on ebay that sells urethane tires also that are the best I think. The urethane swampers are pretty awesome. Also some foam tuning and wheel weight go a long way on those stockers. I think i still have some weighted beadlock rings I made out of some small steel washers.
