Droooooool!!!!

You MUST get pictures and share!!!

RCdabbler · #3 12-01-2006, 07:13 PM

what part/s would you like a pic of, anything specific?

Its sitting here on my desk with the body off right now.

The LHS I preordered it at had a stack of 12 in his first order and said losi doubts they will ship more until the new year but he may have just wanted to sell me another one.I would have bought one more if I hadnt spent so much money lately.Only 2 other people preordered them at that LHS.

This will probally be a picture overload.(if so sorry)

I wanted to post a vid of this thing doing wheelies, it does them so easily, but my camera just can not do it well enough unles there is serious light.

Is that a 130 motor? I was kind of hoping it would be awd

Definitely looks like fun though.

RCdabbler · #7 12-03-2006, 07:16 PM

nope not a 130 its smaller and I dont know what size it really is.

Got some common stuff in the one pic just so you can sort of see how it compares and the second is the whole thing, truck, charger and controller.

Not 4WD but if they can build this then a 4WD could right around the corner.

It is very fun and surpizingly quick I havnt jumped it yet maily because I feel the rear shocks are to soft and it will bottom terribly so I'll have to make spacers for the springs and try some grease in the shocks to give it some sort of damping.

what's the deal with the radio setup?

Does it use a standard 27MHz band and crystals? It would be sweet to be able to control the Micro-T with a higher end Tx because one of things I've noticed on some of the videos of the Micro-T is that even minute steering adjustments can send the truck into squirrelly movement...Having a Tx that could give you more control over steering would be nice.

RCdabbler · #9 12-04-2006, 02:17 AM

actually the radio does work very well and you can adjust the rate on the steering to get it just how you want it.
I dont have another 27 radio handy to test it out with.

I can tell you the servo is a 5 wire which means the radio gear is not your standard hobby type setup.
I myself have been wondering what radio gear (servo,receiver, ESC) is out there that could fit in one of these.

I'm thinking with a different chassis, LI-PO's, and a good servo, receiver and BL set up it would be a little screamer.

Be careful with bumping into things, the steering arms break real easy! We broke 4 already!!

RCdabbler · #11 12-05-2006, 05:31 PM

Are you talking about that flat piece (tierod) that links the servo bellcrank to the wheel spindle?

I've ran mine for about an hour total and so far so good but yeah, just looking at it you know it will snap something easily if it gets tagged.

mtnet2000 · #12 12-05-2006, 05:35 PM

That's exactly what happened! if you bump into something or race someone else Crack!! We where all racing bunp into each other and snap!

RCdabbler · #13 12-05-2006, 05:44 PM

So if that piece gets made stronger I wonder what the next thing will be to break.Hmmm.

Maybe I'll have to find some thin NYLON and cut a bunch out for replacements.

So, I'm new to this page, but you all seem real cool. Anyway, MY Micro-T's both snapped the steering rods/flat piece of brittle plastic (lol) and I simply used some plastic from a Li-Po battery case it came in, you know the stuff, well, I cut it to the general shape of the Steering arm, and used a pin drill to make the necessary holes, and the thing is a miracle now, it never breaks those. FYI, there's another piece I broke (I REALLY beat on my Micro-t, it's SOOOO much fun!) I broke the rear control arm mount. dunno how I did It, but it's broke. dog bone axle went for a short flight and when it stopped cartwheeling, I checked and saw it broken. I'm assuming the cartwheels weren't all that healthy for it. anyway, I put in the high speed, 14 tooth pinion gear into it, and I think that's why it got the velocity to break the mount. and that's my two cents. Replacement steering arms=$4 (for the whole kit) and cut up plastic=free so... you pick. My friend used the thin tips of zip ties to make new steering arms, so aparently anything flexible plastic will work better than the stock thing. peace!

any word on hop-ups? graphite/titanium/aluminum???
