Losi Micro Crawler

[taliesin]

Got one of these little guys for Christmas and they are more fun than a bagful of badgers.

I saw one the previous week at the LHS and drove it, and the missus bought one to put under the tree. It takes a few mods to really shine, but they are all super cheap and easy. I moved the battery to the rear axle, swapped the horrible stock springs for shorter, softer springs from the Micro-T and [most importantly] bought a set of BWD wheel weights.

Now it goes like stink and is a blast to drive in the house during the long Montana winters.

Heard that there are some initial quality problems like warped gears, tranny binding and badly soldered wires, but thankfully mine seems ok. Neat little product.

Personally, I think the minis & micros are where Losi is focusing all its efforts. They are quite innovative and this appears to be their cash crop now. I really have no interest in the 1/10 products after getting burned once, but I do like the smaller products.
