Cruising youtube and i came across this crazy micro t...

I can't seem to find any info on the build or even any good pictures of how it was done but it's very clean. Any info would be great,,,I may have to try my hand at one. :???:

Nice find. That does look clean. Almost like a micro rcAE.

It's crazy how someone can make shit look that clean/factory, but his hands look like he's picks corn out of poop. Get a manicure before you show your hands to the world..... :roll:







silla :D

I read your post before watching the video, I expected brown splotches or something all over his hands. :grin:

It looks pretty cool, I wish he'd opened it up, I'd like to get a look at his PTO.

That is some clean work. Are those spin start gearboxes he's using? Needs a Micro-Desert makeover, desperately.

Maybe we ought to leave coments and encourage him to join here (brown splotches and all) then maybe he'd show us the inner workings. :???:

I don't see what you were going on about with the hands.

shaft driven with some weird offset gearboxes, but not showing much of the important bits.

The hands thing...that's what I was wondering, but I just kind of thought Payaso was off in "Vaporville" and saw something that I couldn't. :-)

Just by looking at it, I'd put a guess on belt drive.

Does anyone know if Losi is test marketing a new Micro in China?...I just saw this on youtube and it looks like a factory made 4wd Micro T.

If the spoiler and rest of stickers are to be believed, I'm guessing No. Not LOSI.

:razz: But perhaps a Japanese company...

I would believe it to be either a really good custom job, or maybe even a prototype. If I were to be designing a prototype for a company and posted a vid if it, I would be afraid of the company repremanding me for unvailing it before preproduction.
The reasons I think it's a custom? The screws are all of different types, carbon fiber, front and rear A arms are different colors, Losi uses JR for the higher end RTR radios. But it does have the Losi brushless motor.

The problems with my thoughts of it being a custom job, are the wheels. They are concave, and I don't know of any 1/36 wheels like that. Also, the bulkheads and diffs I am unsure of. The differentals (if there are some) don't seem to be very smooth. Too much gear noise when he turned the tire.

I'd hate to see the price for that thing if it is a new Losi.
