Wow, that RC18 had too much power!:eek:
Did it really land in that pond? If yes, is it still in there?

The buggy on the playground session was fun.

I think he tightened the slipper, thats all. REAL nice buggy though. Would u sell/trade me one of them warririos in ur signature?

Hey Guys,

The Mini-T was in foot deep water. Lucky it didnt go any further. All the electronics are toast. The Li-Poly survived though. strange.

nbcaznmaster- Sorry, all my controllers are being used. I actually need more. Sorry.

WWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW that mini-t is sick you gotta cough up them specs

Great video, really well done. I love watching r/c videos and you can actually here whats going on and not some loud heavy metal music in the background.
Have you had the Mini-T clocked yet?

The Mini-T is running off Castle Creations Mamba 8000 Comp X Package with a thunder power 1100MAH 11.1 Volt Li-Poly battery. There is little aluminum on it, so it is pretty light.

As for the speed of it, I havent clocked it yet, but its somewhere north of 50.

Nice videos. Was the buggy brushless? If so what did you have in it?

Yeah, its Brushless. Running a 99.18 a 7XL and a 20C 11.1 3200mah volt li-poly

Wow, a 7XL in an 8th scale buggy! Impressive. I also thought about this combination.
May I ask if you can post a pic of this conversion?

DAF

Sure thing.

What buggy is that? And how much would you charge to duplicate a mount or something? It looks like a hyper tq?

Niiiice buggy!

Its a Lightning 2 Pro, it just has a Hyper 7 Wing.

IF anyone wants a Motor mount, it would be approx. $20-$25.

Let's see a close-up of the mount, then.

Did you say 11.1V Lipo?

Now thats a big motor

Yes, its running an 11.1 Volt Li-Poly Pack.

I have this picture of the motor mount, but it was only a prototype. The New one has more adjustment, a thicker, wider base, and a bigger motor shaft cutout. It will also be machines much better, but here is the prototype.

I can imagine on 11.1V this motor stays cool. May I ask what pinion this is? And is it hardened?

I'm actually trying to find out what kind of pinion it is myself. But yes, its hardened. I will have pinions availble in the future.

As for the motor, it stays pretty darn cool.

When it comes to it, I'll case harden some pinions from RC-Monster Mike. Or he will have a hardened batch himself. His new 5mm pinions ROCK!!

PerformanceRC, I would suggest a motorbrace for the feigao. May save you serious trouble.

Everyone says I need a motor mount, but I have run it in several trucks/buggies for many many months with no problems. I even took the buggy off a couple of roofs with that motor.

I suppose I should buy one just in case, but I have to say, they sure arent pretty.

Well, you can make something yourself. Petty simple, and if you use alu rods, you can also anodize them.

Here's what I did:

That one looks nicer IMO, Nice revo too!!

Mike needs to seel hardened piniosn too.

I wonder if that buggy has the room to mount 12 sub-c cells.

It would be tough if you kept the motor where it is. I tried and you would have to come up with something very special.

Thanks. I like your conversion too. I'll do an 8th scale buggy one fine day.

If enough people show interest, I'm sure Mike will get a hardened batch of pinions.
