Default oreo's micro truggy

Here's my truggy build....
Started with a fresh out of the box Losi Micro Truggy

Ran it once to give myself a baseline and see where it needs improvement.
This is what I came up with
-More speed: Brushless system w/ LiPo 2s
-Better steering: Better servo and get rid of flimsy links and possible replace steering system w/ bell crank system
-Better range: Add my 2.4ghz FS-GT3B radio to the mix
-Better handling: Carbon Fiber chassis and better shocks
-Better looks: That's a given!

I then stripped it down to a roller and got myself a new body painted

Figured while I was at it, why not paint everything to match (radio and carrying case)

Decals were also added


That's where I'm at with it as of now. I'm going to order up the brushless system (Turnigy Trackstar 18a ESC and Turnigy 1220 10300kv motor) and carbon fiber sheet to do my own chassis. I already have a HTX900 servo and Turnigy 2s 800mah LiPo and will be getting my 3racing turnbuckle kit to start work on my bell crank system. More to come.....
