my mini giant

after looking around a few sites i have noticed this truck isnt very much liked only a handful of owners so i decided to convert my giant into a real crawler.

first of i had to do the swarmi mod to the chassis, this involes cutting the front of the chassis away to reavel the servo like this pic in the attatchment. this enables more space and use of a mini servo.


next i decided them there little ball joints are abit weak looking so out came a tamiya doner car (f201 formula1 car) using the tie rods that connect the cantileaver shock system and the large type ball connectors i fashioned four link rods. these are adjustable and also look alot better than the standard plastic link rods. once i loose the full size servo i shall start to fashion a better chassis, this will enable the truck to gain extra articulation and a higher ground clearance.
i also will look into extending the stock dogbones so i can extend the chassis

and so was born the MGLT-1 (mini giant little truck -1) my micro crawler,
