Micro K5

[WICKEDWOLFRC]

sitting around recovering from surgery has my mind spinning. I've decided to build a Micro K5 using So Real Concepts 73-75 K5 and a Losi Micro Crawler.

I've ordered a blade SMC 4.5 EX chassis, wheel wideners, aluminum skid and drivelines from Crawler X.

I've actally got 3 of the K5's Blue red and yellow not sure which one I'll use. this shoud be a fun little Blazer when done

Looks like a good start.K5s are very nice.I'm doing one as well,but an older model.Yours is going to be heavy with the metal body.

I'm not real concerned with performance, I just think it will look cool. It will be fun to play with and let the other guys drool over at the Blazer Bash BBQ in Moab next year8)

not sure what scale items will work with the new chassis I'll have tinker. I hope that I can keep the 572 underthe hood!

ride height is a bit too high but the wheels and tires look pretty scale

I saw your build and dig it8) I want to do one just like it, really wish they built something in the 1:10 scale I want it to look like my old 97. It was my first brand new vehicle drove it for 13 years and regret ever selling it
