Made a track for my micro t
 

I was bored last night, so I decided to make a track for my micro T. The little guy has a capacitor added to the board and a rhino 610mah 2s lipo. I flipped the wheels, It has aluminum front shocks, aluminum front camber links, and the antenna mod was done. It's so frickin fast for a stock motor... Once this one dies (runs at 150-170, seen it at 210+) I'll go for the atomic bb2 motor. That should be pretty quick.

LVC system - battery seems to have a slightly weak cell.

what antenna mod? my micro antenna is toast

lol at the deans plug :lol:
phowa!! does that mean your micro-T draws over 100A :rofl:

i like all these battery mods and such that people are doing.
mine is stock so far cept for the lipo (which is crap, NEVER BUY LOSI LIPO) and ive had a ball with it at school :yipi:

nice track:wink::yes:

Look at how I attached my antenna. It's made out of a strand of cat5 cable. You can solder it or just coil it around the screw that's supposed to be there and tighten it down.

I used a full deans plug because it was easiest and I don't need to get a charge adapter and go though all that crap...

Hobbycity lipos are all I will ever get for my micro. I got a 610mah one and it's pretty heavy and it's what I think contributes to my motor overheating. There is a 460mah lipo that fits a little better. I had to take all the plastic off the sides to get mine to fit. Here's a pic of a 410mah in a micro dt.

BTW mine is a Desert truck

Cool track. Why do you have so many carpet samples? :lol:

My mom was in interrior designer. I have probably 10 more big ones and 50 more small ones but they're all under a refrigerators or packed away somewhere.:whistle:

My mom used to be a int. designer about 15 years ago.

So why don't you have any carpet samples? Or maybe my mom specialized in flooring??? I know she did commercial stuff. Worked for Architecture Incorperated.

That's kind of a neat idea. The carpet squares are moldable for jumps/whatever, and being squares, can make any design you want. People should do something like that for full size tracks. :smile:

nice... is there a video? :)

My buddy has an air conditioned garage with the floor done with carpet squares. It is about 400 sq ft and makes a great track for 1/18 scale stuff. We made jumps and rhythm sections out of extra carpet squares and it was a fun track to run, even with bone stock trucks!

18th scale "Offroad Carpet Racing" is the best!

I might get a video up... I'm pretty bored.:smile:

Two more questions - Can anyone stack fets for me? How long to caps take to recharge?

It's been 9 minutes. How long till the video?

Faster then you can go out mow a lawn and mail me $10. Wanna Race?

Remind me tomorrow and I'll post it up. Youtube isn't working due to "site maintenance"

Just a heads up it was hard to film and drive at the same time... And I suck at driving...
