Default My Micro-t BRUSHLESS!

so guys and girls
today i decided i would respray my micro-t body
i have cut out the back windsheild to i can acsess the battery wires easy...to charge w/ the body on
i ahve sanded down the edges...and a few other places skirts edges and i took of all the stickers
i plan to make my micro-t a racer, so i lowered the rear w/ stock springs and in the front i currently run evo truck xmod yellow springs...whcih ill get the stock evos out probably...this is to lower the chassis
then a white and black spray job for the body... a few cut-outs and it will look like a racer...not mcuh of a little stadium truck anymore

ima spray when my pops goes to work...so i can spray in my room instead of my back alley
so ill get up pics then of my mods
for upgrades ill ahve:
atomic bb motor
team losi li-pos


red evo truck springs in front, stockies in rear
and probably ill pick up an aluminum motor palte at my local hobby shiop when i get over there

thanks for looking...id like suggestions as far as they could go...not asking what to do

UpDaTe: just masked off body, ready for the white paint tomorrow then ill get up pics after its done drying

srry bout that civic-guy
ill just edit the post next time

ok guys and girls jsut got finished painting the body
not the best, but it adds some character to the little thing
will post up pics in a bit

UPDATE:

well, i finally got pics tonight.
i installed an aluminum piece, i cant remember what it's caled(it holds the axle...)

Specs:
new paintjob-new body soon(pan car)
a lot of aluminum-motor plate, shock towers, a-arms
threaded front/rear shafts
10000kv brushless system w/ counter-parts and esc-very soon, near xmas

pics:




i will have more on later, when i get parts.
Thanks,
Blt

Congrats on the BL.

Which JR receiver are you getting for it? If you go with a JR sm22 servo it's a direct fit, I think the HS-50 is longer so you'll have to do some chassis hacking to get that one in there.

Also, in the first of your post you mentioned that you charge the battery in the car. That's not a good idea at all, I've seen where guys have overcharged and nearly destroyed their trucks by doing that. Even worse if you go lipo.

Just a suggestion though.

Who makes your BL motor? Is it the Losi one or someone else, like Feigao?

Also, nice G7. I've got the wired version (G5)

It's cool.
This was one of my first paint jobs...I'm more keen on performance than on paint...since the paint will scratch.
I kinda like it like this...I might grab a pan shell, and paint it flat black

I didn't know it was going to be this big.
O well, I could care less.
Plus, I already had an AM JR Racing TX.
Didn't wanna spend more on a Futaba TX.
