So, this is the story of my mini and how it snowballed from a RTR mini Pro that I bought to a mostly custom rig.
I bought it in the summer of 2018 with the plan of competing in Eurocrawl in Austria in September 2019 with it.
It was running rig and going fine, but that didn't last any time at all....
I started designing and printing parts from the start, custom rear lockouts (with link and shocks support) and upper link mount.
But... To make these parts I modeled in CAD the axle.... So... with the axle already in CAD the next step was to build a chassis.
And since I was making a chassis why not make custom gear cases for OD and UD on the axles?!
It snoballed FAST and I finished the rig the day before I traveled to Austria in September of 2019.
I went there with a lot of home made 3d parts and everything untested.
The rig performed GREAT and lasted the comp without any problem.
I got a 9th place out of 20 something drivers!!
And my stock mini Pro got rebuilt and was borrowed to some friends and finished in 7th place! Totally stock!!!!! It was great to see it perform.
Now it's a bit different.
It still has the same Sanwa PGS-CL servo but the ESC is now a Momba micro X and I'm running a outrunner motor.
Much better combo with a lot of control compared with the Novak system, specially downhill.
Evolution continues for this little car and new parts are being design.
