"Chris Malone’s heavily modified Tamiya Wild Dagger (Bedfordshire, United Kingdom)

A Tamiya Wild Dagger is the base of this highly customized truck. Actually, there is little Dagger left. Chris calls his creation, "Cold Fusion", and it is built as a racer. His goal was to make it able to hang with any other MT out on the track. It has been in the works and getting refined for about 3 years and he tells us that he is really pleased with how it has turned out.

> Custom-designed 4mm aluminum TVP chassis; designed for lowest possible CG, minimimum weight, supports up to 16 cells and extends the wheelbase by 2 inches amonst other stuff

> Custom-designed 5mm aluminum combo shock towers/gearbox braces

> Modified suspension geometry for improved handling

> Aluminum and delrin cross-braces

> Unlimited Engineering Super Shocks

> R2C2 extended aluminum suspension arms; very lightweight

> MIP RS4MT CVDs all-round

> Lunsford Titanium turnbuckles

> 7075 aluminium XSpede front steering knuckles

> Prototype "Super Diff" installed in the rear; replaces stock diff with a much stronger custom-designed diff which uses HPI Savage 4-bevel innards (designed and made by a friend of Chris)

> Dual Mamba Max 5700Kv speed controllers and brushless motors. Top speed of about 55mph

> Dual Elite 8-cell, 4500mAh stick packs wired in parallel

> RPM Monster Clawz StableMaxx rims

> Pro-Line Bow-Tie tires

Traxxas Revo 3.3 4WD RTR Monster Truck with 2.4Ghz Radio

RC’s Top Designs

(7/30/2010)

The Best Engineering In Each Category

By Matt Higgins

Hobby-grade RC vehicles are marvels of engineering. Even in the “early” days, RC cars have had surprisingly impressive designs and features. Remember the Tamiya Avante? The buggy was actually ahead of its time in the truest sense of the phrase. And, because the RC car hobby is naturally competitive (both on the track and on the hobby store shelves), the vehicle designs advance at an amazing rate. We thought it was only fitting that we pay homage to the vehicles that we believe are the best engineered in their respective categories. Check it out and see if you agree with our picks.

Monster Truck: Traxxas Revo 3.3 If you made a list of the features that monster trucks typically don’t have and built a truck, you’d end up with something like the Traxxas Revo 3.3. Even though it’s been out for a few years now, we are still amazed by the engineering that went into this truck. The truly unique shape of the chassis protects the drivetrain, maintains a low center of gravity and is still easy to work on. Instead of being stiff like most big-wheeled monsters, the Revo’s suspension is plush and offers extremely long travel. To keep the soft suspension from being too mushy, Traxxas designed it to be progressive. On top of that, the shocks are inboard like a F1 race car. Add in Traxxas’ proven EZ-Start system, OptiDrive Electronic Shift Module and you have what is easily the best engineered monster truck in RC. Runner up: Losi LST2
Touring Car: Tigermoth LCG V10Some people might have a hard time accepting this pick since it’s not from a mainstream RC company, but Tigermoth’s LCG V10 gets the win due to its smart use of a graphite and Styrene plastic laminated chassis plate. But, that’s not all it has going for it in terms of design. It also earns some serious points for its use of laydown shocks and ball-jointed suspension. The shocks can also be run in the traditional upright configuration, and the LCG V10 can be run with or without an upper plate. Need more? The electronics all run inline. It’s impossible to look at the LCG V10 and not be impressed. The LCG V10 wins essentially because it not only works, but it’s unique in a class of cars simply plagued with sameness. Runner Up: Losi JRX-S Type R
Buggy: Mugen MBX-6 While Mugen has a rich history in RC and still enjoys pockets of popularity, this hardcore racing company currently doesn’t get nearly the attention its more mainstream competitors receive. The reason? As the hobby has shifted and bashers and ready-to-runs are everywhere, Mugen hasn’t shifted its purpose which is to build race vehicles. It’s top buggy is the MBX-6, and the pre-built M-Spec version is about as close to RTR as you’re likely to see Mugen get. The fuel tank is a special low center of gravity design, as is the entire drivetrain. While not alone in this respect, the MBX-6 uses graphite shock towers. The MBX-6 also uses self-locking wheel nuts to end those embarrassing and race-ending moments when your buggy goes one way and a wheel goes another way. All of that is good, but the reason the MBX-6 wins is that it simply has what may be the best suspension geometry in RC. Runner Up: Losi 8IGHT 2.0
Rock Crawler: Axial XR10 You would think rock crawling would be all about brute force, durability and traction. In some respects it is, but competitive rock crawling is serious business. As such we’ve seen some high levels of engineering go into the latest wave of crawlers. The XR10 isn't the first MOA (motor on axle) 2.2 crawler, but it is the first “mass produced” kit that is competition ready right out of the box. Not only do the axles have the preferred MOA setup for zero torque twist (read: much more capable climbing ability), but they are extremely streamlined and designed to skim over rocks without getting hung up. The guys at Axial know that maneuverability also wins comps, so the XR10 can practically turn on itself thanks to copious amounts of steering throw, the easy dig nature of MOA setups and option cutting brakes. Yup, Axial shocked everyone when it announced the rear wheels could be braked independently for extreme turning and vehicle control. Runner Up: Losi Comp Crawler
Short Corse Truck: Team Associated Factory Team SC10This category almost gets deemed too close to call. We, however, give the edge to the Factory Team SC10 because we believe it is the most race ready of all the 2WD short course trucks. Just about everything on this truck impresses us down to the simplest of parts such as its graphite battery strap that looks trick, cuts weight and allows the truck to properly flex as it runs over rough terrain. We love the V2 shocks with built-in bleed screws in the caps. The ball differential with lightened outdrives are all about maximized performance as is the new slipper design. Living up to its name, the Factory Team is loaded with aluminum hop-ups. Sure, all of this is nothing new in RC, but all these features ensure the Factory Team SC10 is fully loaded. Runner Up: Traxxas Slash 4X4

Should I get the Spline cvds or the regular cvds?"
-by Nycatt

"Splines are their new design, alot less likely to disconnect if your using soft A arms such as RPM ones. Talked to the guys at Moore's(MIP) - the splines are the only ones they are making for the revo now the rest is just stock they had or retailers have."

Use MIP Bearing Juicer Kit for Tuning!

2010-01-20T05:38:00.000-08:00

In almost every case, clutch bearings don’t get the maintenance they need.

MIP has the solution for you! The MIP BEARING JUICER™. Our two piece device will allow racers to re-grease 5 x 10mm shielded bearings
quick and easy. The added benefit to the MIP BEARING JUICER™ is cleaning out old lube when you squeeze in fresh new MIP orange grease.

The way the MIP BEARING JUICER™ works is simple. Our device seals both inner and outer bearing races, allowing grease to be forced around the bearing front shield, through the ball bearings and out the back shield.

This process takes only seconds.

MIP Listens...New C-CVD...FIRST for Slash...Red Ring eliminates tiny set screws!

2008-11-10T18:00:00.000-08:00

"Several of your “MIP Drawing Board” posts have asked...”When are you making CVD™s for the Traxxas Slash?”

In various forums, you have have discussed whether MIP CVD™s for the Stampede or Rustler will fit the Slash, and whether you would
have to get different rear axles. Slash uses the shorter shafts than the Electric Stampede or Electric Rustler, more similar to the Nitro Rustler.

When your posts said you were frustrated with the tiny set screws holding in the cross pins...we heard you! The technology and speed of RC has changed since the development of the original MIP CVD™s...After months of under-cover research and testing...MIP responds with its revolutionary new C-CVD™!

MIP Listens....Announced first on the Slash, MIP’s new C-CVD™ design with the amazing new red capture ring eliminates the need for loc-tight, shrink wrap, etc....NO MORE TINY SET SCREWS! Another key feature, first on the SLASH, is we used a thicker
bone shaft with MIP’s hardened M2 steel for the axle...MAJOR UPGRADE IN STRENGTH! MIP expects to expand it’s offering of the new C-CVD™s through it’s product line...Upgrade your Slash now!

MIP Mini-LST Parts - Bulletproof It!

2008-09-21T05:30:00.000-07:00

Seen on the NewsStand! RC Car Action Nov 2007 issue recommends MIP’s new offerings to BULLETPROOF your Team Losi Mini LST!

MIP Mini LST Parts

MIP offers several new Team Losi Mini LST drivetrain parts to make the truck faster, more adjustable and more bulletproof. The hard-coated top gear is lighter than the stock top gear to improve acceleration, and its machined to super-tight tolerances for a perfect gear mesh. The hard-coated slipper clutch has machined-aluminum front and rear plates that are far more durable than the stock plastic pieces. Their hard-anodized coating ensures a smoother clutch engagement with long-wear characteristics. MIP also offers front, rear and center ball diffs for the truck. They are highly sought after because they are much more durable than the stock, plastic bevel-gear diffs, and they can be adjusted externally. The diffs have heavy-duty steel outdrives and tension springs, smooth thrust-bearing assemblies, hard steel diff balls and all the necessary lubes and fasteners.

MIP parts for Mini LST

Lightweight hard-coated top gear: 1563; $6.95

Hard-coated slipper clutch plates: 1562; $8.95

Ball diff kit: 1564 (F/R), 1565 (center); $35

MIP Engineers Are Going Low Ratio

2008-07-10T18:00:00.000-07:00

Thursday, July 10, 2008
Looks like Eustace and Brandon are trying to figure out a way to lower the ratio inside the front and rear axles of the Axial Scorpion. Heard Eustace saying the idea is to give the car more torque and smoother drive, plus, you can overdrive or underdrive the front or rear for maximum crawling performance...Prototypes appear to be underway....Hmmm.

What about Joel "magic" Johnson? Is he still with trinity? All I know is the kids today don't know how good they have it! In the eighties you either coughed up $80 for an MIP tranny, or you had to spend about 10 hours polishing all of the gears in a stock RC10 tranny to get it to work worth a damn! Not to mention the MIP trailing arms, and the kyosho gold shocks, ahh, those were the days though...

I had a rc10 with a A and L chain gearbox, parma monster truck add-on, and the MIP trailing arm conversion kit. This was like back in 1990.. do you know how HARD it was to build that thing?!?! to make tirods on spiral pieces of metal? LOL I thought Joel did Losi's website for awhile.... :| maybe I was mistaken.

Think I Can Pull This Off?
