well the batt only lasted for roughly a good 6 minutes, cause the bearings and bushings in the tranny arnt the BEST, but i have ordered a metal tranny with bearings and a set of shielded metal bearings, im sure that'll bump the time up to like 10+ minutes for driving
you got the ramps? ill give it a go

im using my ghetto method of making ramps out of xmod AWD kit boxes and masking tap to make some, or i can just cut up some cardboard and use it
i love the 20in/10min charge/drive ratio, sooooooo much better than 45min/13 min drive ratio on my rc18

The Micro-T is the reason I no longer have Xmods. I have just Mini-Zs a micro chopper and my Micro-DT.

I only used Xmods to drive outside for some fun, now with my micro-desert truck the xmods seem kind of boring. I like to ramp my Micro-dt a lot.

I just ordered some sweet wheels for mine JUST now!

Well I've found it hard to get traction around the house. Also they are a little bigger.

yea since i only have wood, marble, and some pretty thin carpet, my tractions is either very good or kinda bad,
if u spary a little bit of winder on ur tires, it gives a bit more traction, and kinda cleans ur floors

Looks great! Mycrors4 unless I haven't checked the parts recently, there are no bearings in the tranny stock unless otherwise purchased for these lil buggers. Also if you decide to go BL/LiPo, be aware you will go through transmissions like nothing, I am already onto my 5th one

Agreed, but I LOOOVe my xmods for chopping up and modding. They are the best for that due to low cost. I have a micro-t and a DT, and they are awsome. First 2 upgrades... Threaded axle stubs, and ditch the crappy battery set-up for lipo or better nimh w/ higher mah.. Those 2 upgrades are a must. Micro-t definately is the funnest micro out there in my opinion.

This is where you and I differ, even in our services.

I don't care for modding and chopping all that much. I like to race competitively. My electronic services skill has developed for me to mod my racecars and friends racecars to be faster around a track.

Looks great! Tech deck ramps also do good and "cardboard tech deck ramps" do good, go on instructables.com and look around on there, some pretty good tips for the cardboard ramps. You beat me to the bearings and I've got BL/LiPo

When you go out looking for them, be sure to hit the clearance isle at Wal-Mart. The one in my town had a few different Tech Deck ramps left over from Christmas that didn't make it off the shelves. They may not have and left on clearance, but I thought I would mention it anyway!
