Dirt Track Losi Micros

[BJoe]

Once I finally got all the parts needed in, I could finish things up conversion wise

After trying to mount the rear Baja post either way and ended up finding that putting it towards the front of the chassis dropped the body low enough on the chassis to look "right" to me, but to do this you also need to use the Micro-T front shock tower and put clearance holes in the hood for the shocks/tower to protrude through a bit, next one I do I'm going to try heating the plastic witha soldering iron and forming a bump with the "business end" a bladeless #1 X-Acto knife (the small one using #11 blades) in the "hood" of the body.

With body mounted;






Mounting the body this was for the '69 Z-28 and '55 will probably require some heating (again using a soldering iron) and reshaping of the "deck lids" and "daisey panels" on both bodies to clear the transmissions as well as using the Baja front tower instead of the T or MDT front tower because of the height of the hoods on those two bodies. Now all these bodies are styrene plastic and molded in...unusual...colors (the current issue of the '69 Z-28 is in snot green:ugh
