Check Out my custom MINI Rock crawler

Maxxcrazy · #1 05-24-2003, 02:16 PM

This is a tyco canned heat modified for rock crawling. chassis was hacked into 3 peices making a chassis, a gearbox, and a steering axle. Then i put pivots in between each part and put springs on too. Also I glued lego wheels and tires onto the reagular wheels and tires. Then I shaved down the gearbox and the chassis. I still dont have a body but i might make a tube frame soon. Onto the pics and teh video.

Version 2.0 small front springs and no front pivot. it articulates becuase the screw holding the servo cover is loose.

Version 2.5 big front springs and a front pivot

Thanks, I got the idea from a friend that had only a rear pivot and had a tamiya gearbox instead of the stock one.
