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

MFM Black Widow Chassis with Scorpion Parts
I made the swap over of gear from my ARTR Axial Scorpion to the MFM Black Widow chassis today and I am impressed with the rig so far. It went together very easily and the quality of the chassis is very good.
I took it out to the rocks we used last week for our comp [...]
Duratrax Cliff Climber
Duratrax first crawler entry is a bit of an odd duck in that its size is in between the currently popular 2.2 rigs that are nominally 1/10th scale and the Losi Mini Rock Crawler that is nominally 1/18th scale. The Cliff Climber comes in at approximately 1/14th scale and boasts some pretty impressive features that [...]

This rig was designed from the ground up as a competition level base kit. The Rock Force is the first production crawler in the industry using worm gear technology. [...]
