V1M: (UTB18) Mini Comp ChassisFits: Axial 1 18th Scale UTB18 Crawler Buggy Battery: You can use the stock battery on the rear links but it is kid of tight and bulky.

The Helios battery will need to have the lead swapped to an IC2 Connector or change the connector on the stock upgraded ESC.

The V1M (UTB19) Comp Chassis has been reenginered to directly bolt the driveline and components from an AXIAL UTB18 on to this Narrow chassis to allow for a more optimal proformance orented chassis for the WRCCA Mini Class Comp Crawler.

Chassis Features: The chassis and cab have been cut from 2mm Carbo Fiber sheets with a nice matt finsh. Simlia to the old Losi MRC, we have kept the base of the chassis very narrow to allow you to navigate the tight terain without bottoming out on a wide chassis. Upper link adjustment offer a range of antisquat and anti dive adjustments with 100% being your middle range allowing yout to tune your rig to match your driveing style. (These values were calculated with 1.9 Rover Tires, Front Brass Knuckles Weight Covers and rear brass Portal Covers with the stock battery mounted on top of the rear upper links and ESC Mounted to the roof of the cab.)

The basic setup will help you take the UTB18 make the most of the stock setup. All COG and weight distribution has been calculated with the stock eletronics and battery. Changing to smaller and lighter components and battery will increase your proformance. Some Adjustments may be needed.

Shocks: If using the stock Capra Shocks, the recomended setup is: Front half droop with rubber bump stop replaced with an O-Ring. Rear full droop with the rubber stps replace with an O-Ring and a pen spring under the piston inside the shock.

Rear Lower Links: Remove your rear lower links and tape them together evenly, Measure a spot about 1 inch from the base of the rod end and give them a slight bend in a vice to make them high clearance links. Alternativly, you could replace your lower links with small diameter brass links from D-Links.

Body Side Pannels: You will recieve one set of 3D printed side panels. It is recomended that you use these as a template to trace and cut pannels out of .03 lexan or even a used pop bottle to help customize your build.

The Hood Roof and Tail Plate: These parts are a solid 3D printed piece. You can substitute the prints for Aluminum Spacers and Lexan panels if you like. We opted to print these components to save you money on your conversion. Aluminum Spacers can usually be found in e-bay or Amazon for around $2-3 each for low quantities.

Aluminum Cross Brace Note: The kit includes four braces, If using a 380 size motor, you will only use three braces as the motor will interfere with the brace next to the hood. With a 380 motor, use the supplied 2.5m Nylock's in place of the Brace. If you are using a compact revolver type motor, you can use all 4 braces.

Reccomended setup: Use an after market motor and compact ESC like the Furitek system. This will allow you to reduce the ESC size and mount it on the fron Upper link plate that is included. You should also use a smaller battery mounted on the rear upper link plate. This will keep your COG low and better distribut the weight on the rig.

3D Printed Parts: You can select your desired color or save a few dollors by selecting the self print option. (Print files are free with every purchas reguardless of choice).

You Will Need: One small velcro strap to secure the battery to the rear upper link Battery Tray or heavy duty velcro.

What a ride.
Format: Paperback
How these two come together with the rest of the iconic characters is just so fun. Add in a Screaming Citadel and you're in for one hell of a ride. If you love Star Wars, pick it up. It could read as a stand-alone if needed. Part of the Doctor Aphra comics.

Absolutely top-knotch
Format: Kindle
9.5/10 This is the pinnacle of Star Wars comic books. A great way to tie in their Indiana Jones character in Aphra and the mainline series to tell an amazing story. Only complaint is a couple of the issues artwork I was not a fan of. I like the more realistic look. Just make sure you read Aphra book 1 and the previous SW books to understand it better. Aphra book 1 being more important

Star Wars embraces fantasy
Format: Paperback
This is Star Wars at its' strangest, and that's a very good thing. Luke and co. fighting through what could easily be Dracula's castle is a truly unique experience. I don't wish to say more for fear of spoilers. As a note though you will get more out of this if you've been following the Star Wars and Dr. Aphra comics. However you can get by without that knowledge as well.

Gothic Star Wars
Format: Paperback
This trade paperback collects all the issues for the Screaming Citadel story spread over several titles, including the main stay Star Wars series and the Dr Aphra book. As one might expect from a story spread over different titles with different artists and writers, the presentation varies. The art is all over the place. In the Marco Checchetto-drawn initial issue, everyone’s favorite amoral artifact hunter, Dr Aphra, is a striking space vixen. But in the following issues she’s hardly recognizable as the same character--mousier, if still menacing, in her trademark Russian tanker’s hat. To a lesser degree, the same is true for the other characters, including the main SW group. It’s understandable, but a bit disconcerting. The story centers on Dr Aphra, who, in need of a Jedi for one of her typically nefarious purposes, recruits Luke into her scheme. Unfortunately for Aphra, she’s up against a more ruthless foe in the harlequin-looking vampire-like Queen of the Screaming Citadel. Before long, the rest of the group has to show up to rescue them. It’s a gothic story, set in scary castle—not the usual Star Wars fare. There are some good points. Dr Aphra’s almost sociopathic outlook is always good for a few choice lines, the “murderous machines” Bee Tee and Triple Zero are on hand for their own gruesome commentary and some of the Queens hench-people, while not given much to do, are interestingly designed. But overall, the horror movies plotline didn’t seem much like Star Wars to me. Recommended for those who enjoy that type of story, or completists.

Luke and Doctor Aphra team up!
Format: Paperback
This is the second crossover event in the Marvel Star Wars comics. It brings the ongoing Doctor Aphra and Star Wars series together. I liked the pairing of Luke with Aphra. They play well off of each other with Luke's naive goodness and Aphra's experienced gray morality. I liked when she called him a wannabe padawan. There are some well designed characters in this comic. The residents of the Screaming Citadel have a goth bdsm vibe. Luke even gets to dress up. I liked seeing him in something different. I want to know more about Sana and Aphra's past!!! Please, Marvel, make a queer love story prequel!!! The murder droids are wonderful. Having them on the same side as the "good guys" for at least the time being led to some funny situations. The last panel intrigued me. I give this graphic novel a 4/5. I am always here for more Doctor Aphra!
