| Dlux Super Mini
I have had this build in my head for awhile now, just too busy to do much more than get some parts together. The biggest challenge of building these cars right now IMO is axle choice. I have gone back and forth on the Dlux replacement cases and the Exceed MT boxes. At this point, it pretty much comes down to cost. The Exceed MT box is setup pretty well from the get-go. The box is longer so you dont even have to do any serious mods to get the servo between the motor and axle tube, pretty important feature when you have both axles that need this. My main concern with the MT box is the gears. The small 3rds are really, really weak. You can use a Berg small 3rd with some mods but I think if I get to that point, the boxes will be switched out for my replacement boxes to get the ultimate in gear strength. MT boxes and gears = $13ea Dlux replacement and gears = $105ea If I didnt have all the MT stuff here, I probably would have just gone with Dlux cases. Pretty easy to switch out in the future. Here is what I have so far. No time to work on it yet but I wanted to get a build thread going so hopefully interest in the idea catches on. |
