The alum wheels won't fit the X. Im sure some will be available soon. Start browsing around at tinyrc.com or intrepidrc.com for hop up's. You will find them all availble at a lower cost than dinball and you will be supporting this forum.

yes the LED set should work with any car, you have to wire them in. they come with two clear and two red LED's, wire, and shrink sleeve. yes they are about six bucks or so at www.dinball.com.
Hey IRC, i checked out your site, and soon as its working I will order some hop-ups from ya. I wanna be a good supporter of this site ya know.

as a side note I also saw an LED set with connectors already on it made for the Mini-Z at Dinball, I don't know if they will fit other cars but they didnt cost much either.

oh and IRC, when I meant "when the site is working" I meant the IntrepidRC site, not this one.

I've already ordered a couple things from the TinyRC site here and will likely be a regular customer.

ksavage68, FYI the IRC site is informational only - their products are sold through our shop - if you see anything in their parts list that you don't see here, let us know, and we'll get it for you. Thanks!

Not sure why the site was not working but please do order through TRC as they are one of are largest dealers. We do have online ordering but would appreciate it if you supported this forum and the pricing is the same so please use are site for information on the X but give your cash to TRC! Also I was really just giving you a hard time I to order from Dinball but only items I can't get here in the States.

Hi, please offer your comments for the following questions:

Q1) I like the Mini-X for its price but worry that the all-plastic chasis and parts are easy to break and will end up having high ownership costs. Could anyone share his/her experience? I've seen the Dynamite Pocket Rocket pics showing its dual-deck fiberglass chasis, which looks to be durable and very well-designed.

Q2) I've seen in the Galleries the Mini-X RS ESC+Rx used in a RS4 Micro and other mini R/C cars. Does any one have the spec of the Mini-X RS ESC and what kind of modified motors it may accept (withing firing the ESC)?

Any info will be appreciated.

Clique, the Mini-X isn't at all brittle. Take a read through this entire thread and you'll see testimonials about the abuse it can take. Good question about the RS set - IRC, do you have the specs?

irc · #40 07-23-2002, 11:25 AM

These are the specs I found on the speed controll and motor. I hope it helps.

Operating voltage 3.6V - 7.2V
Current (no load) 70ma
Max continuous current: 8A

Motor 70 turn

Also the plastic is not brittle! where did this rumour start from!

Crash Rehven · #42 07-23-2002, 08:10 PM

The plastic is pretty tough!

I've driven mine off the dining room table onto the linoleum floor many times... no damage yet!

Rumour..................

Hmm....I have always heard that the mini-x is a bit brittle. bad press????

They don't look the sturdiest........maybe this may be the reason for the rumour.

Its hard to tell.

irc · #44 07-23-2002, 11:47 PM

Could just be the way the clear chassis looks?

tinyrc · #45 07-23-2002, 11:50 PM

I think it's a combination of the look and the bad reviews that the prototype version got. The real X is tough as 1/24 scale nails!
