Death Metal Garage (DMG) NAT 1/18th Scale Mini Rock Crawler
The DMG NAT is a replacement tuber chassis for the Losi Mini Rock
Crawler. The build quality is top-notch and DMG is a super place to
work with.
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.

Tamiya CR-01 Land Cruiser 40 RC Rock Crawler
Wow, what a sweet rig! This is my second rc rock crawler. I got a
Scorpion RTR to mess around with and then got this Tamiya Land Cruiser
CR01 as a project. I spent a couple of weeks on and off building the
Land Cruiser 40 which gave me a chance to mess around with the Scorpion
on the rocks so I had some experience when it was finally time to give
the Land Cruiser a go I was pleasantly surprised that is worked as well
or better than the Scorpion RTR in many conditions and on different
surfaces.

RC Rock Crawling in Milwaukee
Just south of the South Shore Yacht Club, on Milwaukee's Near South
Side, is South Shore Park. Just behind the extensive playground is a
jetty/pier that extends a couple of hundred feet into the harbor and on
this spit of land are rocks. Lots of them!

Associated RC-18t Drivetrain Modifications
As I mentioned in a previous article, I am working on modifications to
my previously stock Associated RC-18t. The first steps I took to get
better reliability and performance were 5/16" compression fittings from
the local Ace hardware store to shore up the weak link in the outdrive
cup. I noticed only small flaring of the cup before I made the mod but
it was obvious that repeated use would stress this area to the failure
point.
