My Custom - Micro T + Case + Ramps

The Case:

As u all know, micro T's don't come with a case to keep them in when your not using them or when u are taking them out with u... so I though I would make my own... and here it is...





I made a mesh tray, which I painted black to sit the batteries on while they charge... I also added a 40x40mm PC, powered via a 9v PP9 battery, which will kool the motor down between runs...

The Micro T :

now for the micro T side of things... my current spec is:

- Atomicmods bb motor
- ball bearings
- alloy shock set
- alloy front skid plate
- threaded steel Wheel shaft shafts

and of cause, the custom hard plastic body, which as u can see I am still working on... lol...







the body I got from a 1/32 nissan king cab - Tamiya kit... which I have had to cut the rear cab out of to make the body lenght shorter to fit the micro T's wheel base...

The Ramps:

Here is a pic of my frist 2 ramps I made from cereal boxes...



I will get some vidz made, once my new servo gets here from the USA, probs next week...

I will also update, again once I have more work done on the body and my new rims set on it...

no... it was an old art box, which I made new spacers for...

updates added a better longer aerial, along with the new rims and another body, which I will use along with the custom one, once I get it finished... lol...

I also made some spacers to stop the adjustable o-ring slipping back up to the top, on the HR shocks... I kut up some spare tubing from RC aerial to make the spacers with...

after seeing a tut Suzuki did using some plastic tubing from wire end connectors...









Below is a black widow spider design I did, which I will print onto some decal paper for the sides of the above body...

Not sure... but the bit extra weight of the aluminum keeps the fast thing on ground more so it probs has better steering than it did before... lol...

New Update: I got a atomic type 1 body and painted it with some Custom Colour - Sapphire Fusion spray paint, which I backed with some Custom Colour - Jet black...

I made a small video, to show the colour change from different views/ lights...



Body Photos:









Chassis Photos:





The only thing I still need to get for the chassis is a alloy gear box and laterz on a BL set-up...
