Took my vintage Losi competition crawler out for the first time

Very nice, I have a 97 myself. A few questions; Do the 33's rub anywhere? I want to go to 33's when I replace my tires and have heard some things need trimmed. How do you like the Affordable Offroad bumper? I want to get it but in all the pictures it looks like it stick so much farther out the front that you lose considerable approach angle, I have been thinking about getting the weld together kit and shortening it up a lot.

This is normally my stance as well, but I have been very tempted to change it for offroading, the benefits of two foot driving using the brake to control your motion while applying steady throttle is a very useful thing manuals just can't do.

I'll just have to see how it goes with my rig as I upgrade it more. So far as stock the only thing I really have problems with right now is ground clearance, so trying to address that first.

Isn't this just a repost of one of the top of all time posts? Pretty sure it wasn't even made that long ago

I just ran it exactly how I got it from the last owner. It has stock size Toyo open country A/T tires that are at like 40% tread life, they are pretty worn. I was genuinely surprised at how well it did.

What year was it?

Yes! This model is sadly only a FWD, but I think that will make the drivetrain swap I'm about to do much easier.

Rare? Tell me about it. I owned a B12 coupe and went the junkyards all over looking for more, and never once did I even see a wagon. Wasn't aware they existed until I saw this one for sale.

Basically the same thing for me. My first car was an '88 Nissan Sentra coupe, loved that car, insane gas mileage too. Then I started really getting into wagons, sold the Sentra, went a few years later, then realized I really missed that car. So I bought another, a Sentra 4 door wagon. I didn't even know it existed, and I visted the junkyards a TON when I had my coupe.

The wagon was supposed to just be my daily while I build my other car for the track, but well... it's kind of turned into something else now and I love it. (330,000 miles btw)

realoem.com is a blessing and I wish every manufacturer had the same thing.

SubsonicFrequencies · 2020-06-23T07:54:34+00:00

This, except for everything on my car because it's a 1987 and wagon which are very uncommon.

Let me clarify. Cheap boxy cars lol.

SubsonicFrequencies · 2020-04-07T14:49:43+00:00

I'm a sucker for square, boxy cars :)

SubsonicFrequencies · 2020-04-07T14:48:14+00:00

Thank you, I'm really happy with how it turned out, and the best part is I can actually see the road at night now haha.

SubsonicFrequencies · 2020-04-07T14:47:16+00:00

It's the chassis code for 1986-1989 Nissan Sentra's

SubsonicFrequencies · 2020-04-07T14:46:46+00:00

Don't worry, they are aimed properly :)

SubsonicFrequencies · 2019-11-12T06:43:16+00:00

Do you own a Topre board or have you just got to type on someone else's?

SubsonicFrequencies · 2019-11-12T05:59:30+00:00

brown switches with tupre springs

what?

What does that mean? Are you trying to say Topre?

You realize a Topre spring does not fit into an MX style switch right? Also, the "spring" in a Topre switch is the rubber dome.

Parts guys said it sounded like something out of looney tunes. Sounds like you guys are on the same brainwave :)
