Well my new mini truggy shipped this afternoon from nitrohouse.. now the fun begins..

Problems? Lack of detail to calculate top speeds..

From my understanding the diff gears are 10t and 22t (2.2 ratio)
From my understanding the spur is 40t mod1
No tranny - direct drive on center diff
Tires ? 3.5" would be my best guess

Please post detail if you have more or if you know for sure!

Battery Tray Specs (should be pretty accurate)

5.75" long (146mm)
1.4375" wide (36.5mm)

My plans.. No major mods, this baby is stacked from the get go and for 199 it's a deal iMO. No junk electronics to sell off either :)

Electronics- Lucky for me I had all these sitting around other than the Rx

MM esc - no mods (auto lipo)
Velineon 3500kv brushless motor
Spektrum SR3500 (finally get to use the dx3.0 thats been sitting in the corner since I got my dx3r)
Hitec servo (sorry forget model #) 180 torque though more than enough

From the salesman (Tim) I spoke to most people are running 540 motors (not 380s) and typical setup there is an mm6900. I think the velineon is a ton better of a motor than those castles, as it stays a ton cooler geared at the same speeds. I'm only looking for 40-45mph so if my calculations are correct the included 14t pinion should be perfect (42.9). I'm a little skeptical on these calculations though but w/ a 3s on the velineon I'm getting 64mph using BrianG's calc page with the above figures. That is a bit insane and not what I'm looking for as I will be on the race track all the time. I did order a 16t pinion when I got it as Tim said everyone was running the stock pinion on a 6900 MM system on 2s considering the kv different btw the 6900 and my 3500 I thought it would be needed... but maybe not?

Again please post if you have more detail and I will update when I get the truck in a few days!! YAY! I'm so glad I saw this truck before I bought one of those new traxxas mini e-revo's. Those are pretty sweet lil trucks too but this Mini Hyper STe smokes it.

A few notes on tweaks..

Diff fluids 1 rear, 3 center, 3front is what most are using (I plan on 1, 5, 3 at first but who knows)
Springs - Losi 10th scale fit (yellow seem to be the best)
