Mini-X.

2wdpancar · #1 03-06-2008, 01:24 AM

I just ordered a Mini-X off RCmart...the N roller...wow 21 bucks a pop..SWEET!
Got an Xtra Speed ESC for 20, and I have an rx and servo( rx- Futaba r153f, and the tx is a 2pl.)

It's gunna be fast, and pretty nice.
Going full hobby-grade, with the Futaba tx/rx combo, the Xtra Speed esc, and the Futaba servo I have here.

I ordered:
1 Mini-X (#MP-24) Body clip 5 pcs USD$1.30
1 Mini-X Basic Kit Car N USD$21.00
1 Xtra Speed (#MCV2) FET Speed Controller Ver.2

I am going to use a Copper FAT comm, and the 4WD armature.
It'll be a low turn motor, 20t is my guess.

I'll run a 2S Lipo pack of 1000mAh that I made, it'll be NUTS.
I will just start to build it when I get the parts.
I won't stop, I want a working car!!!

Cheap looking, but everyone says it is thick, and it is very strong!
Looks cheap can fool people...I'd like to take this to rs and smoke some folks.

You getting the kit or the RTR. If I ever got one, I'd get the kit so you can install your own electronics and receiver so you could run a Futuba lol. It looks very cool. Any plans for the body?

Funny thing is the link I bought the car from was the kit.
Then I mentioned I would be using a Futaba RX...there is an NSX-looking body that comes with my kit..
Did you even read my little captions??

xmodscarbon's_lost · #10 03-20-2008, 12:40 AM

I will get one and put an evo with 2X2 in it and say bye to xmods lol J/K.

2wdpancar · #11 03-24-2008, 01:33 AM

For Donzii:

Specs:
-Rewired Xtra Speed esc(wires were too big)
-7.4V LiPo pack
-18t motor(chili can, 26awg wire, carbon brushes, neo mags)
-AWD
-Mini-X servo(GWS)
-Mini-X RX

Just need to solder on the motor wires, yesterday I became a Catholic so that took away my night, but for good cause, I am a big procrastinator, I still haven't busted out my iron, LOL, I had it on 2 times today, too lazy to take off the body

.

I recommend these, way cooler than xmods, can go FAST with the right parts, and they have cool bodies that use body clips, look SO cool.

Hopefully I don't bust my diffs

Donziikid · #12 03-24-2008, 01:36 AM

Well, you know I'm jealous.

To be honest, it looks cool with just the clear body. Forget painting it!

xmodscarbon's_lost · #13 03-24-2008, 01:38 AM

Thats awesome looking!Are you going to make a video of it soon?

I know you're jealous.

I know, clear is cool!
I'd screw it up with paint anyway, if you've seen my xmods, you'll know, plus, It'll only chip right off

Well, not really, but you know, clear is better.

Thanks!
Vid tomorrow, I need to solder on the wires, then charge up my lipo pack with this new Tenergy charger I bought, hopefully they don't blow up, I live in a city with a small room in an apartment, I can throw it in my fire escape and use the fire extinguisher's at worse.

Then I'll get a vid, but the charger is very nice, nice quality, I doubt it'll let meh down.

I just hope the gears hold up...

BLT, the paint won't chip if it's done right. I'm assuming it's a lexan body so if you want an excellent guide with everything you need to know about painting these bodies, shoot me a PM and I'll dig up the link for you.

mini-z drift · #18 03-24-2008, 01:49 PM

Can it have a mini-z diff in it? If so get an aluminum one 'cause that plastic looks pretty flimsy.

Jalengrayson · #19 03-24-2008, 02:10 PM

BENCH TEST IN PEOPLE!
Donzii, excited yet?
Well, the motor is so darn powerful, the MOTOR WIRE IS SHOOTING OUT OF THE MOTOR 0.0
THIS ISN'T GOOD, I'M SEEING A LOT OF SPARKS...NEEDS CAPS...BUT REALLLY, THIS IS UNFORTUNATE, WHEN I GET A RUNNING CAR, THE MOTOR IS SELF-DESTRUCTING.

Darn!
Donzii, I caught some of it on video, my camera battery is charging, so check back in a few hours, I'll have a video, for some reason my PhotoBucker takes forever to upload videos now...o well...it IS crazy tho, and it works!
Wow!
Lol, I'll edit my post once I get the video uploaded via PhotoBucket.
