AnimalHippie Goes Micro!

[AnimalHippie]

Thank you spoo! Glad to finally have one going. Ernie, I will make sure we get some pics sent to you and Marcia.

Here's a video I did on the micro ESC and a first run video of the micro crawler.

A little fun run in the garage last night on a makeshift crawl course. Enjoy!!!

Really having fun running this micro crawler. Very capable little guy. I cut the driveshafts down a bit last night because they were binding and only letting one side of the axle get full articulation. Now this thing has crazy flex. I know a bunch of articulation can be bad and I've really seen how it can be bad by running this rig, but just like anything else. Learn your rig and drive it to it's ability. Here's a few pics of this little guy flexed to the max.

Seeing it parked in the back of the Nukizer has given me a few ideas....

More stuff to come as I can get to it/ afford it. Thanks for taking a look!

Update time for this little guy. A few weeks ago I was messing around with my bag of micro parts and figured since I don't have the time and money right now to put another one together I'd use some of those parts. So I installed a front axle in the rear and programmed my remote for 4WS. Man did it make this thing fun.

It also helped with loose surface climbs. I took a piece of scrap styrine from building my tool box on my Trx-4 and put a roof on this guy. I think it looks allot better now without the wires and ESC showing. Thanks for checking it out!

Took this little guy out for a spin on the backyard course. Had a blast with it! The 4WS Really helped it allot! Shot a short video while I was out there. Hope you enjoy!!! Like and Subscribe!!!"thumbsup"

Absolutely love this build.. I have several Losi Micro Crawlers sitting in my storage unit unfinished.. You may have just inspired me to at least finish one of them. Thanks!

Thanks brother! It's allot of fun for sure. I've been thinking about building another micro with the other parts I have. Just haven't had the time and funds to do it. I'm glad my build could give some inspiration. Definitely start a build thread once you get to working on one. I'd like to check it out for sure.

No updates, but still crawling this awesome little guy!

Took it out back just to try some lines I have been eyeing for it. This thing always impresses me.

It was pulling lines I didn't think it had a chance on. I did have the driver mod turned on 11 tho LMAO!

On the hunt for another body to put on it. Not willing to change the WB so it might be hard LoL! Thanks for stopping by!!! Have a great day!!!!
