91 pickup scale crawler
I built this truck to make it resemble a 89-95 scale truck but yet fully capable off-road. It works so well it goes everywhere my buddies fully built 2.2 crawler goes. This body fits so perfect it can completely stuff the tires in the fenders with no rubbing. Heres how I did it:
Losi Mini Rock Crawler Competition Chassis:
Stretched using ESP long wheelbase lower links-deleted the 8 rod end nuts to shorten wheelbase to spec
Factory lower links mounted up top
ESP 1" drive shaft extensions-cut factory drive shafts shorter to fit
Electronics:
Mamba Micro Pro speed control
Losi 370 insane motor
Airtronics hi-torque mini servo
Losi 1650 mah 7.4v li-po
Airtronics FM reciever
Body:
I mounted the body using a bit of creativity and to make it clean without body posts I used velcro to mount it and it works great
Future plans: Next I will be waterproofing it and converting to a brushless setup.
I also want to paint another body and add details such as headlights, tail lights, door handles, paint the rear mounted radiator and add Toyota emblems.
BFG Mud Terrain KM's are on the way and I will be getting scale 89-95 SR5 aluminum 1.9 beadlock wheels here soon.
