Losi Rear Hub and Axle Upgrade
Losi’s 1 Piece Rear Hub upgrade in Grey anodized aluminum also includes a solid steel axle set for the Losi Mini Rock Crawler.
This upgrade replaces the stock ball joint rear drive with a solid shaft. Use the old ones as spares for the front! Of course the solid shaft takes away the easy to do [...]
Schmenzer’s DMG NAT Part 3
Mounting the ESC, Receiver and Battery
For now I am using stock Losi electronics but I may end up upgrading down the road.
There is some decent room in the NAT for electronics but a bit of planning made things go easier. After trying components in different spots I basically decided to go with a similar set [...]
Working on Schmenzer’s NAT Part 2
I worked more on the NAT today and it was time to get the steering squared away.
Here are the parts I used for the servo mount:
Axial Aluminum tray from a Scorpion
3 Racing Aluminum Servo Posts
Kyosho Mini-Z Wheel Bushings as spacers under the tray
First up was modifying an Axial Scorpion servo plate to use with the [...]
Schmenzer’s DMG NAT Part 1

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 [...]
Losi’s New 2.2 Class Crawler
This is one of those I expected it but didn’t see it coming deals for me. It was natural to expect a 2.2 crawler from Losi, after all they have been making option parts for a while and their crawler tires and shocks are some of the best out there, I just did not expect [...]
Devil’s Lake RC Crawling GTG 11/16/08
With a late fall RC Crawling GTG at Devil’s Lake scheduled for mid-November we were hoping for a good turnout. In the end just 3 of us showed up. Slick, Thumbman and I but that was fine, the rest of y’all missed some super crawling.
It was about 35 degrees most of the day but the [...]
Wisconsin Dells RC Crawling
Besides Devil’s Lake, which is about 12 miles south of the Dells and has awesome rc rock crawling areas, there are some intriguing crawling possibilities in the town of Wisconsin Dells itself. The sheer number of man-made structures that look appealing for crawling are enormous. Think waterparks! Unfortunately, most are not accessible or may involve [...]
Lake Delton, WI Crawling
There is a cool crawling spot near the Wisconsin Dells in Lake Delton. It is located behind the newish Kohl’s Department Store on I-90 and HWY 23. There is an exit from 90/94 right there but I don’t remember the exit number. I just parked in the parking lot right at the base of the [...]
