Well my micro ATV is finally complete. cheers

It started life as a Losi Micro Rock Crawler and has evolved now into a 1:10-12 ATV. I upgraded the chassis to the BWD Wedge and have their wheel weights on with a little more solder wrapped inside for extra weight. the motor has been upgraded to the Atomic BBII for more speed and cooler temps. I got a couple of the New Ray brand ATV's from Toys'R'Us and found this one looks the best. I got the micro light kit off the microtforum.com and got Troy (wideloads motor works) to make a short adapter to power them. Currently the body is held on by some hair ties as I couldn't think of any other way to mount it but will change it if I figure something out. Anyway onto the pics.

Here is the articulation as well. Very little in the front but a lot in the rear.

I am still trying to figure out if a rider is feasible but everytime I put one on it makes it too top heavy. Also the new motor gives a lot more speed and will flip over if it turns too quickly but it makes a nice crawler.
