Just another one of my crazy ideas........... - BJoe - 01-09-2008
I just re-bodied my Wheely King crawler (which is going more the way of a trail rig of late....
) with a HPI Jeep Wrangler Rubicon body and was looking at that and my new Losi Micro Desert Truck and realized it seemed like the Losi would look like a 1/5th scale stadium truck in comparison. Now I'm thinking about making a mount so I can strap the MDT to the back of the crawler to make it look like it's hauling a 1/5 scale RC on the trail. Here's the WK on it's own (sorry, cell phone pics to follow)

and the MDT

and a couple pics of the two together with the MDT on the back of the "cage"

I figure that I can use about 8 zip ties and battery hold down straps for the new E-Flite Blade 400 (below) to make the hold down for the MDT

I think its cool with just the jeep bod Big Joe. Looks really scale. The mini car on the back takes away from it IMO.

It would be just for the counter at work, that way it'll make it harder to "disappear" when I'm not watching.

Didnt you learn the 1st time Joe!!! Quit bring your stuff in and leaving it unattended

That's why they now comes in the store with me, I figure the MDT would be a little too easy to walk out with so it would be a ghood idea to strap it to something a whole lot larger.
