Default MRC Tuber

Here is a work in progress, I could be done with it, but I have been working on other rigs.
Specs so far:
Losi MRC donor
LapDog tube chassis
MRC axles - Stock lockers for now
Stock trans w/ Reedy 19T Stump Puller motor
Castle Sidewinder Micro
Stock steering servo for now
Stock links in pics, but I have Delrin lowers (straight front, bent rears)
Losi MRC black chrome wheels, weighted w/ PVC bead lock mod
Losi Basher tires
1/10th size shocks set up as full droop



The insanity

So there are no shock springs at all? That thing looks killer by the way. Nice job. You compete?

Thanks.

Springs are inside controlling downward movement (AKADroop suspension). Afew more guys in the club just picked up MRC's so we are looking to add 1.9 into our 2.2 and Super comps

Cut 2" PVC into 3/4" (19mm) sections and slide them over the inner flange of the stock MRC wheels, you can add wieght to the channel, but don't forget to drill a few breather holes in the PVC. It works well for easy/cheap beadlocks.
