Made a track for my micro t

[Metallover]

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.

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

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

nice track

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

[BL_RV0]

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

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...
