Schmenzer’s DMG NAT Part 1

Even though I actually got my DMG Alluminiti before this NAT I went to work on the NAT first because I had all the parts availability.

This orange and black beauty is 4-5/8 ounces stripped of components and is ready to install the components.

The parts I am using for now:

• Losi MRC Axles, Transmission, Upper and Lower Links
• Stock MRC Shocks
• Internal Pen Springs for the Shocks
• Losi ESC and Receiver
• Stock Losi Motor
• JR-Servo High-Torque ST126MG
• Eritex Delrin Wheels in a wide offset and RIT dyed orange.
• Front wheels have Blue Compound Losi Mini Rock Claws weigh 6-7/8 ounces
• Rear wheels have Blue Compound Losi Mini Rock Claws weigh 5-3/4 ounces
• Axial Aluminum tray from a Scorpion
• 3 Racing Aluminum Servo Posts
• Kyosho Mini-Z Wheel Bushings as spacers under the tray

These parts will give me a good start but I do have some replacement ideas for the future.

Here is a shot of the DMG NAT with my Alluminiti that I am still gathering parts for.

After taking the stock MRC apart. I flipped the tranny around when I installed the skid plate in the new NAT chassis.

I originally had a Holmes Mini Torquemaster installed but later switched back to a stock motor for now.

I decided to start with a semi droop setup since I had the stock shocks and I like the way the black shocks look plus, after setting up the shocks I think they might work well. We will see. I used 50 wt Losi oil and some short pen springs inside the shock bodies.

The links mounted up and ready for shocks

Eritex wheels, blue Mini Claws and orange Rit dye make for some cool wheels!

Shocks mounted up

Looks like a good amount of travel
