[suicide_star]

Well, after tearing apart my mini Baja and buying lots of aftermarket stuff, i had enough parts to make a sweet mini T, so i went out and bought one yesterday...here it is stock...they dont look very mean out of the box

as far as performance, i wont be doing much with it, as its just for play and i want it to remain controllable heres what im putting on it tonight
Venom Fireball Motor
Integy 60T spur, 16T pinion
Integy blue alloy front skid plate
integy blue alloy battery tiedown

I would stray away from Integy, I've been told that their iffy on quality.

Looks mean though. Got pics of the mad crazy one your building?

The body and tire/rim combo looks great, Suicide! :nod:

I like the color on your 1:1, too. :p

Edit:
Just looked at your MiniBaja (http://www.xmodsource.com/forum/showthread.php?p=172896#post172896) thread.. did you buy a duplicate set of the body and tires/rims or did you use that stuff from the MiniBaja on this instead?

[scoter]

thats cool looking

integy parts are pretty decent imo, the mad crazyone is going to get worked on tomorrow, i got all the parts in for it yesterday, finally! that bastard was expensive, round 600-700 dollars in it...at least this one is going to be controllable just to fool around with. the body/rim combo was going on the other one, but i got alloy rims for it and im going to get an airbrushed body for it to do it some justice.

nice,how do you like mini t compared to rc18t?

Out of the box, mini T's suck compared to an rc18T, but i put $20 into this miniT and it would keep up with an rc18T easy...

the biggest downfall of the miniT is that the stock electronics are built together, the ESC and Receiver are built as one unit, so you can't just plug the ESC into the receiver, you actually have to buy a whole new one.

this Venom Fireball motor is pretty nice, ill get a vid of it running tomorrow, impressed me.

ps...ordered front and rear bumpers for it

[mustanglover]

i had the fireball in mine it was pretty nice.

[suicide_star]

video..please excuse my wheelie fetish.

nice! i am hoping for my lst to get in soon, then we could compare ares. but i wish i still had my mini (a lot of good times) but i hope ya have fun with it! and i think you can fit the insane 380 motors on the mini, if not buy a new plate for it.\

any videos of the mambafied one yet?

edit: i thought you where going to put a mamba.. but i guess its a losi brand brushless.

my friend put a castle sidewinder 8000kva in his, im actually putting the eXcelorin 9400 kva in my other miniT. you're getting a miniLST? i have one, it's very fun to play with but the esc overheats pretty easily and it's not as fast as this miniT with the small modifications i did to it. i ordered some metal bearings and front and rear bumpers for this one =P

[mustanglover]

sweet i have quite some stuff on mine,but what made it look ugly was the bash body... yea iam getting a lst it completely stock. and i should be able to run a novak spy on it, or i need a esc that has the 2 motor connect? how does that work?

i was kind of wondering the same thing...i wanted to run dual 9400 kva but i need to find the ESC for it.

[mustanglover]

oh so you have to have a esc that connects two motors, i was wondering if they would have some like on the emaxx.

[suicide_star]

here's a little update of my miniT, put in the venom fireball motor, i actually wound up with a 61T red GPM spur gear and a 9T losi aluminum pinion (tons of torque), team losi alloy aluminum oil filled shocks and i found some really nice bumpers for it too..its a tough little truck and hasn't given me any trouble yet, heres some pics...

That body is so cool! Bet your glad you bought it now aren't you :)

Overall great progress I bet this think is a beast!!

[suicide_star]

lol, i'm very glad i picked it up, it's really rigid compared to most of the other bodies, it's a 40mil lexan vs 30. more to come in the near future, depending on what breaks! after the fireball gets destroyed all the electronics and motor is getting upgraded....thinking about a 5k BL setup
