losi "micro crawler"
Who want to bet that soon losi will have a micro crawler out?
think about it every 1/10 vehicle they have out is in 1/18 and 1/36 (the xxx-t-minit-microt, Raminator-mini raminator-micro raminator, no micro lst but a mini, slyder and slyder mini, desert truck-minidesert truck-micro DT.
i'm hoping they will do it because i think it would be fun to crawl around on my desk or you could make a course out of book in you basement. this way you can bring the rocks to you.

RE: losi "micro crawler"
I like the idea. I would get one for sure.
I did the hole WK rock crawler but found it to be to slow for my liking. I do like to build them and modd but not drive. But a micro in the house would be a blast.

I think you could take cardboard and glue sticks rocks and what ever else you wanted to climb over to it and make a course. Just like making jumps but adding things to make it harder. The options are endless and not to mention almost free..
Thats atleast what we do now with our micro's, to give it a more technical track.

RE: losi "micro crawler"
thats exactly why i want one, i could set up my own course and me and my friends could mess around on it. not to mention how many people it would bring to the crawler scene because of how affordable it would be.
another idea i had would be a 1/36 slyder. and WOOT for 1/18 highroller coming soon from losi (not yet mentioned but it's electic so they will be making one mark my words)

I was at this offroad expo in Pamona California a couple weeks ago and Losi had this course where you could drive a rock crawler on a cawling course. When I was cralwing, my friend said the guy working for Losi and marshalling crawlers that flipped over said Losi was coming out with a 1/10 crawler.

RE: losi "micro crawler"
no. way to small to do any "real" crawling with. I guess it would be cool just go out side and grab a few peices of gravel from my drive way, put them in a cardboard box and BAm crawler coarse.... They need to make more motor's though, the stock one isnt powerful at all, or go with a reallllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyy high spur and like a 5T pinion...

RE: losi "micro crawler"
Dude for the last week I have been hunting for a micro crawler of some sort...whats out there is lame. We just need a custom frame and shock kit for a Micro ram and it does not need to be losi made. I would buy in a heart beat. I love micros and I would like to many more versions. I def want to see a crawler and 4wd micros in the future.

RE: losi "micro crawler"
i would be suprised if they made a new 1/16 chassis, all the other micros are based off the micro t design. but the 1/18 crawlers are pretty sick, there is one i was checking out at my lhs

That would be cool. The handling of the xxxcr but smaller! Like 1/18.

A 1/36 crawler really would be more for the cool factor than anything, you are going to be able to crawl a penny or maybe a pebble.

RE: losi "micro crawler"
now that i think about it, if losi did make a micro crawler it would be a little bigger than 1/36 scale maybe like 1/24. 1/36 scale is probably a little too small to fit everything that i needed for a crawler.
