Micro T on the way

yeh i know i forgot, idk what kind of bearings ppl use so i didnt post any

[BP-Revo]

Well, I was originally going to race around with my buddies in our house's by setting up some jumps, cones, etc. but none of them bought one. I haven't even bothered opening it since I don't think it would be much fun unless you are racing against someone.

i have tons of fun with mine by my self..

You need to upgrade the hubs, arms and steering links if those parts are available, i broke all three of these the first day i had my microT. No jumping, just driving around full throttle. It sails if you hit something as small as an acorn.

LOL, you guys just have to realize how small it is... I drive mine quite a bit and I am still on factory parts. Nice and easy...

[squeeforever]

I intend on getting just about everything for it, but here is what I'll get pretty soon:

Sorry for not typing what they were. :p I'm feeling a littel lazy right now.

man! goin all out lol :D

sounds good, what speedo are u going to get?

[squeeforever]

I'm thinking a Quark 22

If you pull the plastic case off of the Quark 22 and just shrink wrap it it will save you some valuable space on that tiny little truck. The mamba is still actually smaller because it doesnt have a heat sink.


I actually got a Micro-t when they came out and I used it like 3 times then quickly got bored with it.

Maybe I'll have to consider going brushless and lipo too. :018:

[nativepaul]

I'm considering one of these too, how do you hook up a BL ESC to the RX/ESC combo board it comes with? Or are taking it out and fitting it with a septate micro RX? What lipo will fit? Does the RX/ESC board have an LVC?

The stock board combines Rx and Esc duties and will not work with a BL motor. You'll need to replace the board with a BL controller and in doing so you'll either have to re-wire the stock 4 pin steering servo or replace it with a different one.


Here is how I did it.

[VintageMA]

I did a BL conversion of my micro-t about 7-8 months ago. I would say to not bother adding too much aluminum to the car as it will really weigh it down. Parts I was glad I upgraded - shocks (go AtomicRC), ball-bearings in the wheels, threaded axles.

Even on 2S lipo (i built a pack using 2 250mAh Enerland cells from bphobbies.com - tight fit but work very nicely and last for 40+ minutes) the Feiago motor has a lower kv rating than the stock motor, so it won't have as muh speed. You'll need to gear up with the highest pinion and you'll have some speed and great punch.

I would actually consider checking out the new micro-t that Losi just put up on their site:
http://www.teamlosi.com/Products/Def...rodID=LOSB0233
It looks pretty cool and has a slightly longer wheelbase, so much a little more room to mount things.

With my conversion (I'll post a pic tonight) I actually managed to squeeze in 2S-250mAh lipo, a Novak XXtra synthesized fm receiver (case removed), a Mamba25 esc (you have to re-move and re-solder the capacitor so that it fits - no easy task as the solder CC seems to use on the cap has a very high melting point), and a micro-servo with a 3-wire connector.

ive heard brushless is not the way to go on the one18th forum because it wont make it too much faster for the price. get the BB motor and call it good (that is what ive heard)

[VintageMA]

I actually will not make it faster, but it will make it way more efficient (close to 2x the runtime on the same batteries). Even if you get the BB version of the brushed motor it still sucks down a lot of current.

Besides - it's just fun to do it.

o well they forgot to mention that on the site! haha!
