Team Losi Mini-T v2.0

[pedeman]

where can i get my hands on a set of them? i cant find ANYTHING for a mini t's setscrews, nothing

[ron1431]

CAN ANY ONE HELP.i have a mini t and i was running it on a dirt track for the first time it runs amazing i was suprised :eek: but i have a problem i would run it for like 5 hard mins and then it would just make a humming sound then after like 2 min it would run again. what might be the problem?

[Insane Rival]

hey guys im having a problem with my T, and im starting to hate it. i got my first one, motor burnt out on like the 3rd run. got a new one, then the esc went out on that one, and i replaced it, also with a new team orion micro core. it ran fine for a while, now the friggen motor wont work unless you spin it by hand to get it goin???? do i need new brushes or somethin on the motor?

[losi racer13]

i dont know man but are you using the stock esc/rx unit thing?

[RCfrodoRC]

is this truck better than the rc18t

[losi racer13]

in some cases yes. i kill other 18t's racing onroad and im brush and they run brushless but in the straights they beat me cuz theyre faster motors, but i outhandle them and i can go full speed around turns without wurrying about spining out. i would recommend getting a minit pro and get all the good stuff for it,

alright i was thinking about that already so it helps to hear it from someone who has it.

[Insane Rival]

yes its the stock esc/rx unit

[losi racer13]

if i were you i would really invest into a new esc, reciever, and servo, i got a good setup and im happy with it. im using a novak xrs. hs55 servo, and some 27mhz am receiver. heres a pic

[losi racer13]

i also smoke the 1/10 scale trucks lol. when i was about to race them they said oh man im scared of that little mini.lol

[Baja-Destroyer]

hey im thinking about the mini t pro but im wondering since u need ur own servo do u need to get the servo saver and the linkage for the servo or does that come in the kit?

[Radio Acer]

me and my brother have been running our mini-t's for a while now on our back yard track. It's wicked fun and we're going to get some 1200mah 6cell Orion batt packs. Are these good batteries for the price? I found them for $15 at stormer hobbies.
I've also noticed that the steering has a lot of slop or play. is the only way to get rid of this by buying aluminum steering components or is it the stock servo and its servo saver? Along with that, would the Hitec hs55 or the Airtronics servo (I forget the numbers) plug into and work with the stock rx/esc unit? A new rx and esc are too much money for me
One more question. I'm thinking about getting a new motor. Which is better performance-wise: trinity Mass Termination, Orion Baja, or Epic "faster"? or any other motor on that note. Unfortunately, brushless motors would cost me my wallet and more...
Thanx

[erikderaaf]

well i'm getting in the mini-t business very soon, i've been running my 1:18 xray m18 and already am a mini-addict.

i've ordered the mini-t pro version with hitec hs55.
esc will be temporarely borrowed from my m18, its a lrp quantum reverse.

anyone else running a mini-t pro?

[pedeman]

radio, i personally think THE fastest motor out there is the Team orion "Chubby"... i also have a Baja, which rolls out pretty good... not to sure about the battery, though, i have a team losi pack... have fun

[Legend_Car]

is any one running there mini-t with the mcallister edm body in the oval

had this same problem, and found out that you need to pull the brushes out and dust the inside with a cotton Q-tip/ear-cleaner. Dust gets between the brushes and the comm, so you end up with this problem

[Bash_N_Thrash]

I got Racers Edge K-Factory Mini-T aluminum shocks for sale. $25 for all 4 shipped. Brand new in packages with 4 sets of springs each. PM me for info.

[Baja-Destroyer]

i got my mini t pro! i also got novak micro gt and hs55 cant wait till its all here

[pedeman]

i hope with the HS55 you got a better sevo saver... they go through gears like a monkeys uncle

[Newdude]

well on one18th.com they said the18t is faster out of the box but that mini t's are faster once upgraded.

[losi racer13]

im running a baja,but i heard the mini mod motor is fast. its made by fantom racing

[dkj-M3]

should have got the airtronics servo, it's faster & better.

[Baja-Destroyer]

any of u guys running a micro gt? i wanna know how well it works and what motor would be the best ive heard about the k3 and the new trinity but i dunno whats best

[pedeman]

okay, i am in a hole right now... when i turn my T (while its on) only the one wheel turns about 1/8th of an inch... im hoping its the servo saver... if its that, whats everyone's fav. S.S.? also, im running aluminum arms, C hub, and Bearing carriers (sp?)...

so, i guess the question is, what's everyones fav. servo saver? thanks ppl

[Radio Acer]

I've already bought the Batt packs, they're in the mail now and i can't wait. I've also decided that if I buy a motor, it'll the be trinity mass termination. But I've heard that you need a metal pinion gear for aftermarket motors. (and even if you don't I'll just buy one for safe keeping). Would Micro RS4 pinions work the T? specifically this one (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&W=000389031&I=LXBGE7&P=K) ?
thanx

[teampeter]

I have a Mass Termination motor and I need to replace the armature and the brushes. Does anybody know where I can get these parts?
Radio-Acer...Trinity makes good steel pinions.

[Radio Acer]

Yeah, I looked at those pinions on tower. It was 4 of 'em for $17 or something like that. wicked expensive compared to pinions made for the RS4, that's why i was wondering. And plus, I'm not going to do any hardcore racing or anything. Just bashing.

[Baja-Destroyer]

man tower skrewed me over with the parts for my mini t usually when i order it takes 2 days to get here but since they sent it from Nevada insteas of Illinois (im in Indiana) its taken 7 days and counting i want to run my mini t so bad lol

[Baja-Destroyer]

ive been thinking alot should i just send back the micro gt and go for the mamba i can get one for $105 at my lhs

[Brian23]

Hey i just got my mini t i ran it with aa batteries... everything is still stock... what can i get to increase speed / performance?

[HammerTime2K4]

I got a rechargeable battery pack and saw a big increase of speed. My cousin got the Losi upgraded motor, and he didn't see the same performance change that I did with the battery pack...

If you really want performance, and wanna drop a buncha money into it...go brushless...CRAZY speed!
~Cody

[dkj-M3]

Baja-Destroyer- for that price go brushless.

Brian23- the more cells (batterys) the faster it will be. stock is 4 cells. go buy some 6 cells from target or walmart & make a 6 cell pack or buy one already made up for like $20-$30. adding more cells will give you the biggest increase in speed. Adding top of the line cells will be even better (GP or KANS cells)

[Brian23]

I bought the 6 cell 7.2 volt battery pack buy losi an hour ago. the car must b goin 2 times faster now at least. It could pull a wheely on carpet no problem

[Brian23]

and a quick question wats an ESC ;)

[dkj-M3]

electronic speed controller- A type of speed control which regulates the speed by PWM. This method of control is highly efficient and results in smooth, proportional throttle control, greater speed and longer run time.

throttle control for the motor

[Baja-Destroyer]

hey how the heck do u get the pinions on and off???? i took out my losi speed motor to make way for my soon to be brushless system lol but i cant get the pinion off and i dont see how to get em on either i have 2 othersthat came with my pro so im wondering which to use with the brushless ima prolly get the mamba 5400 or 6800 leaning towards the 6800 tho

[Brian23]

this is kinda off topic with mini t's but its funny

this kid across the street from me musta been 8 or sumthing and i was driving my cen mt2 and he asked if he could drive it. i said sure but i was really worried and since its nitro n everything i was gettng really scared about him maybe breaking it. So he says 1 sec ill brb. ANd he comes out witth a fire extingusher. I was like ***. He said it was incase he crashed it. I was like ok... no touchy

[Brian23]

what are the advantages of oil fill shocks? im new 2 this... im only 13 :) but im in 2 nitro also.. but i get confused with al this upgrades.. m lhs talks 2 me like i got a hobby diccionary in the back of my head... yea so whatl oil filled shocks do for me and how much $

[Radio Acer]

If you still have the stock shocks on your mini-t then you know what friction shocks are: tubes with springs. You might've also noticed that your mini-t'll bounce a lot or bottom out when you jump it.
Oil shocks will solve both those problems. They'll prevent the bounce by smoothing out the whole process, and they'll also slow down the movement of the shocks a little, preventing the bottoming out. And they're called oil shocks because they are filled with oil inside and when the piston moves up and down, the oil moves through it, either faster or slower depending on what weight oil you put in. Smaller weight=faster piston movement Larger weight=slower piston movement.
I just ran my mini-ts with the new battery packs, all i have to say is this :eek: holly.... these are fast

[Legend_Car]

oil shocks are a must to keep your truck bottoming out i have a set on each of my mini-ts the friction shocks are junk. my rc18t came with oils hmm why didnt team losi do this?

[Baja-Destroyer]

my pro came with oils lol and can any one help me with my pinion problem?

[Legend_Car]

well the pro model does its the racer model that you put your highend electrics in isnt here a little half allen screw that goes in the pinion?

[Baja-Destroyer]

no i dont see one thats why im wondering how it comes off

[Legend_Car]

thats how mine came off

[losi racer13]

did u locktite the set screws?

[Legend_Car]

for the pinion no

[Brian23]

how do u install oil shocks?

[Legend_Car]

there should be instructions with the kit but other wise you put the spacer over the top of the shocktower were were the shock goes then the shock then the plastic nut. the at the bottom you screw the bottom of the shock between the a arm

[Brian23]

http://teamlosi.com/Products/RelatedParts.aspx?ProdID=LOSB0200&Category=Hop-Ups

the shocks that are 3rd down.. are they good or is there somwthing better/cheaper?

[Legend_Car]

those are what i use you could change the springs also gpm racing makes shocks.

[Brian23]

what type of place besides a track is the most fun 2 run ur mini t

[HammerTime2K4]

I just upgraded my Mini to have all the AL parts that FFRC offers. How are you guys that have this AL Chassis attatching the ESC and RX? I have a Mamba and XXL...and I can't think of a good way to do it! My zip ties won't hold with the beating I put it through...and I don't like to use double sided tape. Where are you guys mounting your ESC and RX to? I can't think of anywhere!!
~Cody

[losi racer13]

im using the batterystrap thing. i need a new esc..somehow the xrs fried so im going with the GT..i just bought the trinity 17turn pro today but my esc is toasted. the motor wasnt cheap either it was 40 bucks. i sure hope its worth it.

[losi racer13]

has anyone bought the Novak Gt? i was thinking about getting it and i was wondering if its any good?

[Brian23]

i was running my mini t today wen all of a sudden it completly stoped.. i hit the throttle and nuthing happend the steering worked so i knew the battery pack was still good and i to the spur gear of the pinion and ran the mottor and it worked fine... but hte one axle isnt moving.... what should i do??

[losi racer13]

is the wheels on tight?

[Baja-Destroyer]

hey losi i got the gt but i sent it back without opening it lol now im going to get the mamba at my lhs today or tomorrow

[Brian23]

whats the best engine upgrade i can get without new elctronics.... for under 40$

[losi racer13]

hmmm the first motor i got was the big block by team orion. It had mad torque but after that i had the baja, its also made by team orion it was a bit faster and better, but it needs a metal pinion cuz ur going to strip the plastic ones. now currently im using the trinity 17 turn pro, fastest brush motor out, but needs after market esc. havnt tested the motor out yet becuz my esc fried but im going to tomorrrow.

[losi racer13]

hey brian did u ever figure out what happend with the axle problem, it might be your diff. i changed to the ball diff the second day i got my mini t.

[losi racer13]

[HammerTime2K4]

Never posted pictures on here...trying it out...
~Cody

Edit: Well that didn't work out. Gotta play around with it some more...

[Baja-Destroyer]

hey mamba mini t guys how do u get the pinions to stay on theres no flat spot? im really hoping not to have to give it a kiss of ca glue to keep it from slipping

[HammerTime2K4]

I have just pushed mine on...the stock pinions that is. They hold up for a while. And if they come off, try a different new pinion...

I also bought the Trinity Steel Pinions...haven't tried them yet though...
~Cody

[Brian23]

i just picked up my baja motor yesterrday :D i had 2 get my lhs 2 sodder it b/c icant afford a sodering set... tis thing is wicked fast... but i cant do much with it b/c im waiting 4 my new steering servo 2 come in

[Brian23]

losi racer- i found out the axle problem.. i gues when i was glue my new padddle tires on i got a litle bit of glue on the axle but i was able 2 take it off and reaplace it b/c i was hopeless at getting hte glue off

[erikderaaf]

running my mini-t pro and having lots of fun!

Losi speed motor

anyone compared the losi speed motor against the graupner speed300 (which i have ordered)?

[Brian23]

my upgrades 4 my mini t

team losi oil shocks
baja motor
losi 7.2 v 1100 batterry pack
and aluminum supension arms

and i was thinking about ball bbearings but i have no idea what they do?

[Baja-Destroyer]

bearings make it easier for the wheels to sping they are much better than the stock bushings my friends bushings were warped when he replaced them with bearings 100% YES get ball bearings

[pedeman]

bearings are the best!!! it "slides" really smooth and i think it increases speed and acceleration. yes buy them, they are a great investment for, what, $8? i have them on all 3 of ours.

[HammerTime2K4]

Bearings = Less Friction
Less Friction = Betterness (ya...it's a word)

When you put bearings in your truck, power isn't lost where those bearings are. Bushings, the stock parts where you will put the bearings, do not allow the 'thing' that is around it move as smoothly. Such as the front wheels. It doesn't take as much power to move it. There isn't as much drag as there is with bushings.

They are a pretty cheap upgrade. It's almost like upgrading from stock plugs to Deans. There isn't a whole lot of performance upgrade, but there isn't the power loss like there is with stock connectors. Same basic idea with bearings and bushings...
~Cody

[Hotwheelshow]

So bottom line here...quick question...Best motor for mini-T without changing the esc...My 18MT destroys this thing...lol

[Brian23]

hotwheelshow- i just picked up my baja motor a couple days ago... definetly the way 2 go b/c u can keep everything else stock

hey guys i just got an epic mini motor tonite and i pulled the other pinon off the stock motor because it has no pinion screw but how do i re mount the pinion without it flying off when i accelerate?

[Baja-Destroyer]

put a drop of ca glue at the end worked for me on my mamba cuz theres no flat spot and im using meatal pinion just a drop or two will do it and its not impossible to get off

[Baja-Destroyer]

my mini t!!!!!!!!

[Baja-Destroyer]

another

[Legend_Car]

awesome

[pedeman]

what shock$ are they? :)

[Baja-Destroyer]

they are the regular pro shocks it has but i put some really stiff springs in the front there from ace hardware lol just for now to make up for the 20wt oil once i get 40wt ima put the pink ones back on and heres a link to my photobucket so u can see em up close and u can see my super sweet buggy f/s by the way lol http://photobucket.com/albums/a163/BaBaBaBen35/

baja dextroyer wat kind of servo is that did it fit directly or did you have to grind the ears of the side and how much did it cost

[Baja-Destroyer]

its a HS55 by hitec fits right in and i used the stock servo saver works great too and it was $15-$20

[losi racer13]

Yeah im still waiting for my esc to be shipped back..i accidentaly pushed the setup button in and it got stuck...i know im soo strong i cant help me self haha

I got my hands on a "few" :D Mini-t's, and wondered if anything other than the oil shocks are "really" needed for the hopups....these will just be used inside the house, and eventually on a basement track I can build once my new house is finished being built.

[Baja-Destroyer]

new motor the stock mini t is so slow wont have any fun with it but i dunno which one i hear the baja is good but i wouldent know plus i destroy bajas lolz

[tcr]

I have a question. I find the Mini-T is too small for a 1/18s, it is like a 1/20s or smaller. A 1/18s body should be about or bigger than the size of a micro touring because it is a truck body, isn't it?

[Y2KGTP]

On a nice Li-po battery\brushless setup, what is the average runtime? I was thinking of a mid-grade Mamba setup....5400\6800 ?

[Legend_Car]

i think my servo is gone whats a good electronics setup i was thinking this.

[Baja-Destroyer]

just get the mamba i got my micro gt form tower never opend the box and said this is stupid cuz the esc was 80 and a good motor what 40-50$ just get the mamba 6800 ull be happy you did

[losi racer13]

You can buy me the GT if you want. i got a hot motor to run it with to! i just got the Trnity 17 turn pro motor. but my xrs fried. and then i bought a new xrs, solderd the deans on they cut the wires to i can solder them directly to the motor and when i went to go push the butten in to set it up and it got stuck in there...so i figure ill send it into novak, i do and they sent a letter back claiming it not being warrentied wich kinda sucked.

[Brian23]

hey, got a problem my range on my mini t has been about 20 ft lately and the car has been all jittery... it moves little bits when i dont even touch the throtle or steering.. can any1 recomend a better esc/steering servo?

Im willing to sell for very cheap considering the hpp ups i have

[microrcdude]

http://www.rpm-photography.com/Videos/LakeClosed.wmv some awesome mini-t action in there

[Baja-Destroyer]

thats funny lol but the driver of the mini t was a lil cockie driving by that water and look what happend lol

[InitialVelocity]

Sorry, I was the driver, the radio had a couple of glitches. Hence some of the flips and eventually into the water.

[Baja-Destroyer]

i feel for ur mini t lol

[losi racer13]

thhats really sucks. time for new electronics. you prolly hasve a reason to get new electronics now if u hadnt already done it

[Brian23]

were u using a brushless in hte video?

[InitialVelocity]

Losi Racer, I had new electronics. I had-

Airtronics Servo
JR Sysnthesized 3100 Receiver
Mamba Competition X Motor Package

Not much Reason to upgrade my electronics. There really isnt an upgrade from that.

[Y2KGTP]

Well, I ordered 1 for work as a play-toy (from myself :D ).....just have the ni-mh battery as a upgrade so far......but will eventually get a mamba setup.

[Brian23]

any1 know any sites where i can buy some of that double sticky tape that holds the esc on 2 teh battery plate

[dkj-M3]

go to lowes or home depot or call 937-436-6161 my LHS

[Y2KGTP]

any1 know any sites where i can buy some of that double sticky tape that holds the esc on 2 teh battery plate

arts & crafts stores (larger chains) are also a good supply, I have found

[Brian23]

aight thx

[rcman22]

I want to get the mamba competition motor but i dont want to run lipos. so will 6 cell nimh cause cogging?

[HammerTime2K4]

I am running 6-cell 1100 GP battereies with my 8000 KV and I get cogging every once in a while. I am able to run quite a bit, and have a lot of fun even when it does cog. Usually it cogs, I have to stop pulling the throttle, give it a second, then I can move again like there is no problem. This probably happens once every 10-15 accelerations (stop - full throttle). I can deal with it, cause the price of lipos and charger is just too much...
~Cody

[Y2KGTP]

What is the cost of 3 cell L-Po's & a good charger? I never really looked into it much, just the cost of the Mamba system....

[HammerTime2K4]

I'm not certain...but I think the packs are $30-$40 a piece and a charger is $125-$150...

I did a quick search...so I really don't know...
~Cody

[nitro_newbie]

or maybe run a 7 or 8 cell wouldnt that give it more voltage and reduce the cogging or is it just cuz it is less voltage. also why would a 2s lipo give the motor more speed cuz isnt it around the same voltage so what would be the differnce since i am kinda new to electrics.
nitr~newbie:)

[Y2KGTP]

Back to hop-ups....bearings....do I need to order the trans, and the other bearing set? or is there a kit with both?

[ScottyS]

I want to get the mamba competition motor but i dont want to run lipos. so will 6 cell nimh cause cogging?


Absolutely will not cog IF 1) GP's are used and 2) the latest firmware is present in the Mamba ESC. I flashed my ESC using the USB Link and the latest download from Castle, and all cogging issues went away. I leave my "starting power" on Medium now. I also run a 5-cell GP2000 batt and all is well.

[rcman22]

thx for the help everyone im gonna go get one today i think

[Y2KGTP]

I may just order a 2nd Mini-t to modify, and 1 for the work toy :D

[pedeman]

thats what i did.... haha... i have a all aluminum one (my baby :D ) i only drive that one... its got a couple things done speed wise :cool: and then i have the "stock" one with baja, ball diff, batt, etc, etc. they are both pretty fast..

[Brian23]

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5995287094&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:CA:11

its the Team Orion Elite Modified Motor do i need 2 solder or do anything 2 hook it up 2 my mini t ?

thats what i did.... haha... i have a all aluminum one (my baby :D ) i only drive that one... its got a couple things done speed wise :cool: and then i have the "stock" one with baja, ball diff, batt, etc, etc. they are both pretty fast..

Work toy showed up after I left....guess I will have to wait till tomorrow to play.....this one is for racing around the cubes (just want oil shocks & bearings....maybe)......I also want to make a Mamba X toy for the parking lot.....to play with a NTC3 :D

Mini-T is a blast at work....I prob don't need it any faster..... maybe some oil shocks....

[Y2KGTP]

Mini-T is a blast at work....I prob don't need it any faster..... maybe some oil shocks....


Well, a little faster would be nice :D How is the speed motor ? and I need a metal pinion, as mine is making lots of noise...

[Y2KGTP]

Anyone around? I need some shocks, bearings, metal pinion....and a little better motor for work cube play :D

[pedeman]

i've got a trinity modified wild motor that is sitting around (very lonley :-p) if u wanna pick it up cheap... haha

i say go with the team orion big block, its a nice upgrade from stock and u can use a stock pinion on it, but if you get the baja it would strip the mesh pinions. The sound is prolly the mesh between the pinion and the spur, try remeshing it to quiet it down, also the stock motor and the big block make louder noise. the baja is quiet. i got a trinity 17 turn pro wich is insanely fast but needs an after market esc to use it.

[chaimo123]

I am getting a mamba today(when teh mail comes) and I have a team losi 6cell with deans. How fast will it go
Also i bought 2 gp1100 7 cell packs last night, how fast will I go with those?

[losi racer13]

depends on what mamba an 8000kv will hit 54 ish with gp 1100s 7 cell

[chaimo123]

6800

Man this thing is sick
On the 6 cell pack it flies, cant wait to see it with the 7cell gp1100!

[Redman65]

I am looking to replace all the electronics in my Mini-T. I want a micro ESC forward only, a new radio (are there any radios that come with a mini receiver?), steering servo. Also, is the Baja motor a direct fit? If not what do I need to get it in and running? I have around $500 to play with. Oh, any word on the Dynamite aluminum hop-ups? Thanks.

[chaimo123]

I got alot of dynamite aluminum from stormerhobbies for 90% off!

How do you guys like it?

Get a mamba if you have 500 bucks. You will still have a ton to spare

[pedeman]

anyone interested in my spare mini-t? i need money for my moms 50th birthday...

[chaimo123]

how much
dibs on it

[RustlerBoy]

could anyone sell me a charger for the mini? I need a charger with the micro connector on it, u know the square one? I dont have much money, or a soldering iron, so it has to stay the stock connector... let me know if u can help... thanks

[pedeman]

i will!

chaimo, im me at mxracr90

or e-mail me

or pm me

[RustlerBoy]

i just sent u a e-mail... send me an IM at derrc10t3 on aim...

i really need a charger, so plz help me out here... thanks

[Redman65]

Looks great. How much run time do you get with the mamba set up? Also, is it a direct replacement for the present motor? Also, are their any control issues? I don't want so much speed you loose control all the time. I still need ideas on a radio, esc, and steering servo. Thanks.

[losi racer13]

whats a better race motor, a brushless 5400kv or a 6800kv? im thinking if i get a 6800kv ill be doing wheelies constantly

[HammerTime2K4]

I'm running a Airtonics 94091 and it works pretty well...And if you order the Mamba brushless set-up, it comes with an ESC to run the motor.

I'm using Novak's XXL and I like it. I haven't had any troubles with it...

I have the 8000kv Mamba and it's a lotta power. I've lost quite a bit due to AL upgrades. The power was almost too much with the plastic...but I'd rather have too much than not enough...

I don't know about radios...I've been using the same Magnum for as long as I've been in the hobby...don't really see a need to upgrade...

[losi racer13]

i just drove my mini t with my trinity pro 17 turn motor and alls i can say is WOW! its amazingly fast with gp1100s. id say im hitting 36 or more. crazy fast tho.

[chaimo123]

http://media.putfile.com/mini-t-006

Thats my mini t with 7 cells and mamba 6800
mmm donuts

[losi racer13]

how do you like your mamba 6800?

[chaimo123]

I LOVE IT! Best thing to happen to rc since the picco .21 in my tmaxx

[losi racer13]

oh yeah my trinity pro 17turn motor blew up today. i dont know how but it just started smoking

[losi racer13]

how fast do you think it goes?

[chaimo123]

with the 7cell i think around 35ish

[dkj-M3]

losi racer13

What did you have it geared at?

[losi racer13]

15/60

[RustlerBoy]

just got me mamba today!!! HECK YA!

[ron1431]

hey where can i get some gp1100 do they come in packs or do you have to build. if so i might just have to invest into a good soldering iron and station

[losi racer13]

maxamps.com or i use unitedrc.com...i just orderd the one18th beast raptor v2. its faster then the trinity pro 17turn motor and it keeps up with the mamba 6800 and its a better race motor then the 6800 because u have more controlable torque.

hey guys, i am trying to sell a new Hitec HS55 sevo with the servo saver, and a brand new losi transmitter with RX/ESC. If you guys are interested in any of that, let me know. I dont need it anymore because i just upgraded, so let me know, make e a decent offer. The HS55 has ONE run on it...

[RustlerBoy]

by the way, what is the best way to gear a mamba 6800 on a small carpet track...

[teampeter]

I was wonderin', this guy on the trinity 17 turn pro forum said that if you cut the comms on the Trinity motors, they are ballistic. Then a guy at my LHS said that he couldn't cut the comm on their comm lathe(and that they don't have any comm lathes small enough). So how do you cut the comm of a 280 mod motor??

[teampeter]

Anybody????;)

[dkj-M3]

I heard this one will work, but not sure.

http://www.teamxray.co.uk/productdetail-101501-showall.php

[teampeter]

"It is possible to easily and precisely adjust the movement of the cutting tool operating wheel. Tighten or loosen the adjustment screw in the left side of the tool head, which adjusts the pressure on the plastic insert-pad, resulting in fine control of the tightness of tool head movement."

Is this why it is capable to cut mini mod motor commutators?(lotsa mmmm's;))

[RustlerBoy]

blah...

[mdewitt71]

Just traded my Clodbuster that was collecting dust for a Mini-T setup. This is my first Mini, I own many 1/10ths (nitro and electric) but never a 1/18th.
What is the best performance battery to use on a stock ESC Mini?
Do I need to get another type of charger (I have 2 peak chargers already)?

[teampeter]

GP's all the way!
For the charger, what I did was fix up a mini deans adaptor and put mini deans on my battery pack. If your charger can charge at around 1 amp your fine.

[suckfish]

ok guys, christmas is coming early for me this year.. just order my Mini T Pro, mamba competition 6800, 2 FMA Direct/Kokam FMA Scorpion 7.4V 2000mAh Car LiPo's , plus some foams.. So what pinion do you think i should run ? ?

[mdewitt71]

I have seen Proline, HPI and Parma's websites, are there any others out there for the 1/18 scale?
I have saw a few buggy bodies on the Mini-Ts, who makes them?
Anybody got any other not so common body on there Mini?

[pedeman]

www.18th i htink is the site for those buggy bodies...

[teampeter]

one18th.com makes the buggy bodies, and I think they make another one, I'm not sure.

[QUOTE=chaimo123]I got alot of dynamite aluminum from stormerhobbies for 90% off!
I got the same Dynamite package for my mini-t. I was wondering if anyone knows the size of the e-clips used for the front & rear susp. arms. I'd like to order extras but I don't know what size they are. You can't have enough of these things. Thanks.

[Pizzagod]

Can anyone tell me the maximum # of cells you can use with the stock ESC/receiver in the Mini-T?

Also, how about the motor limit?

Thanks in advance...

Oh, by the way, here's the new look for my Mini-T:

[pedeman]

anyone intersted in a monster motor? i have one sitting around that is very lonley:)

[Legend_Car]

mcallister racing makes 1/18 bodies there bodies are for dirt oval minis they make like 1/18 Modified, sprint car, and late model, etc

So, I haven't bought a new RC since 1992 could'nt see plunking down $300+ for a TC figured mini was the way to go.

Ordered a Mini-t Pro from a hobby shop in CT. by way of E-Bay on Sunday box arrives superfast on Wednesday, perfect shape, factory sealed, thinking man this is gonna be a hoot.

I have no electronics and such to run this little rocket yet so I've been painting up a couple bodies and such. Today I figure its time to fill the shocks and generally check things out. I pull the motor and spin the rear tires, doesn't feel like its spinning as free as my 1/10 scale ST's.

So I proceed to tear into the transmission, and lo an behold what do I find ? There is a bearing missing from the top shaft :mad:

Hi side of this experience, I didn't have the electronics on hand to run the new toy so no damage done. I just have to get some bearings now.

Sorry bout the long winded post.

[Pizzagod]

Just a thought... If it was factory sealed, and you have a receipt, maybe you can contact Losi, and let them know it was missing. They may send you out a new one.

No receipt, I did pull the outer bearing from the slipper side and put it in the transmission so that I could put things back together. Just need to get another bearing, or a set.

[ron1431]

what kinds of front brace do you guys use? will a carbon fiber chassis solve the mini t spliting in half problem

[megaman]

http://shop.one18th.com/product_info.php?cPath=82_86&products_id=395
That right there is your best bet, it goes from the front of the servo hold-down to the back of the front cap where the shock tower mounts; exactly where the frame collapses in half. If you were to get a carbon fiber conversion then you would want this anyways, because the weak point in all conversion frames is that aluminum piece between the front section and the rest of the frame.

[ron1431]

thanks megaman. to bad it out of stock

[mdewitt71]

New to the Mini-T, fact just got my 1st one today, pretty neat.
Do 6 and 7 cell packs fit in the chassis without mods?
I dont have any packs for mine yet but noticed it ran rather slow with just 4 AAs in it.
Saw some dynamite 1100mah 7.2 volt speed packs on ebay for $12.79, are they any good to bash with?

no they are drop in fits. they give MUCH more power

[mdewitt71]

cool, gotta go get em SOON, I just got a mini-T yesterday from a trade and all it came with was the 4 AA pack so I am now driving at a turtles pace.
The truck has a Raptor 300 already in it so I am assuming it will be pretty quick once I get rid of the AAs.........

[pedeman]

I've got a used 6 (?) cell battery pack f/s that i have just sitting around... it is in pretty good shape. to to make this a f/s forum, but send me an e-mail if your intereested

[mdewitt71]

Traded my clod for a Mini-t and got a 2nd one off ebay real cheap, now me and the wife have a pair to run.
My wife's has the Raptor 300 motor from 1/18.com WOW the thing cooks, mine has got the Baja motor in it & is pretty quick itself. I cant believe the difference from AAs to a 6 cell, they are great..............

these are the bods that came with em, next is to paint some of our own............

What you have there is the underground end all be all of aftermarket frames, in my opinion. Not only is it extremely tough (elevated edges+two tier design=no torsional or longitudinal flex. Not to mention it's aluminum.) But it's also light to boot. As well as being complete front to rear with high quality hex-head screws, and a tapper screw for plastic. If I could afford it I would definetely get it.

Sorry, I don't actually own this chassis, but I have heard alot about it across the internet.

[RespirologyRC]

http://www.one18th.com/7849Gallery.htm ya I like to paint!

Either way that chassis looks sick!!! And for 71.00 beans, you really can't go wrong! I like the current wheelbase length but it doesn't say by how muc the extended that chassis.

Either way if anyone is interested I have some sweet looking mini-t lids that I just finished painting. I tried selling them on ebay but no takers. IF you are interested just drop me an email and I would be happy to negotiate a cheap but fair price.

RespirologyRC

[RespirologyRC]

Sorry forgot to mention; I currently run the stock ESC and servo, but I switched my motor to a Venom Fireball 370 size can, and have used 7.2 volts, 9.6 volts, and 7.2 (3300NiMH) on this ESC. It has not shut down on me nor had it done anything funny. I can't believe how much abuse this little ESC can take!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm waiting for my K4 400 tuned motor from www.unitedrc.com, to arrive to see what that does.

[c0sie]

hi guys, can I run 8 cells on my mamba powered mini-t? :confused:

read the mamba specs on castle creations website.. all you need to know is there.

[suckfish]

well guys I got to try my Mini T , w/ the mamba 6800.. running them with a 2c 1900 Lipo all I can say is WoW.. that little thing just screams.. one question for you what's the best way to get the slop out of my steering.. seems like the right wheel is so loose but does track straight down straight. even if it up on two wheels most of the way..

[suckfish]

read the mamba specs on castle creations website.. all you need to know is there.
yes you can run 8 cells the spec's says 4-12cells 2/3 lipo's..

[2mcgrath]

i was wondering.is there any reason you cant use receiver packs in the mini t?i know they are 6 volt but i have a few extras and that would mean more running..and i know you would have to change the end.but if you guys think they would work ill make an adaptor.

[BishopRyan]

I've got a Mamba 6800 and 3 cell lipo pushing the Mini.

I've been running a MIP ball diff tightened all the way down and backed off a 1/4 turn. Slipper tightened all the way down backed off 1/2 turn. Is anybody else running this diff?

The diff is good for 2 packs and then the whole thing just goes south.

Is there a better BB diff or is my setup bad. I tried to back off the diff a little more but that wouldn't get me going. The diff is pre-assembled should I be adding a little lube to help basically the whole diff looks melted down.

I'm loving the speed but I'm wandering if the 3 cell is just to hot for that diff if I have to go to a 2 cell I will.

Thanks to all takers.

[Racing t]

ok, but are you saying I need an costum chassis to mount 8 cells?

[2mcgrath]

can you guys tell me if the mini inferno servo will work in the mini t?i know they are both 4 wire.if it will work is it better than the stock mini t servo?

[teampeter]

I don't think you need a custom chassis for either. I think you may have to remove some of the raised edges on the stock chassis or somehow solder the two cells on an upward angle to accomodate the 2nd configuration.

id also be interested in hearing replys to this...

[T3guy]

I've got a problem with my mini....I looked through most of this post and found some discussion but no answer. I lost the pinion gear set screw wrench, now the scerw is stripped from jamming stuff in there trying to get it out, now it's off how do I mount it back on?
Thanks

[T3guy]

Forgot to say motor is a baja....

[teampeter]

I don't think you need a custom chassis for either. I think you may have to remove some of the raised edges on the stock chassis or somehow solder the two cells on an upward angle to accomodate the 2nd configuration.

You don't need a custom chassis for either. With the two cells sticking out the sides, you just need battery bars to angle the extra cells. I think Team Helotes(go to one18th.com for a link) sells 8 cell packs.

T3--The only thing I can think of is to grind a flat spot on the pinion so some of the set screw can protrude and you can grip it with pliers or something after you grind flat spots on the set screw too. That is all I can think of.

[2mcgrath]

does anyone know about the servo?

does anybody else have probelms with the stock motor plate and the mamba fitting on it? im looking for a new one any recomendations? and i foud the week spot on the mini t or atleast mine is the rear shock end that part is a pos whole rest of it is a tank but that stupid shock end blew out in the middle of a race and then in 2nd heat pinion comes off motor and foreces me to retire again ugh... now i gotta get a few parts and get ready for next week....

[Racing t]

I want to now how much run time are you getting out of the mini-t whit mamba on it. and which batteries? :confused:

[Baja-Destroyer]

i use this battery http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGVZ8&P=7 and mamba 6800 and mine lasts forever i can race with 1 pack just top it off after every race but i bet i could go whole night on 1 charge

[Legend_Car]

I have a quick question. Awesome T baja. I am looking at buying a Mamba for christmas, i know its early but, What should i uprade. Im looking at the Airtronics MX-3 I dont know about what size mamba. I am going to be racing. So my question is what mamba should i buy, and what steering servo. Will i need drive train upgrades?

[Baja-Destroyer]

i dunno about the drive so much i have the pro so it came with the slipper and all that good stuff but i think it would be a good idea to get the pro drivetrain and i have the mamba 6800 its plenty of power and servo i have is hs-55 but i would not recomend it, its a good servo but seems to lack power and its plastic gears i think i may get this one > http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXN679&P=7 and for mx3 ive never used one i hear there good tho

[Racing t]

i use this battery http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGVZ8&P=7 and mamba 6800 and mine lasts forever i can race with 1 pack just top it off after every race but i bet i could go whole night on 1 charge

thanks baja destroyer, do you now the mah rating of that battery?? and have you ever ran it non-stop? a want to now an average tu compare run time whit brushed motors beacause I want more run time out of my mini-t but someone say to me that the mamba eats batterys. how much is true?

[Legend_Car]

should i get the ball diff and what else

[Baja-Destroyer]

racing t- i dunno about the other mamba motors and what they eat but with that battery and my 6800 setup i last prolly close to 2x longer than my friends team losi mini t 1100mah pack and reedy motor but i think overall with any battery the mamba is very efficient and legend get the ball diff and the slipper and the cvds too that will hold up nicely with a mamba 6800 or less i dont know about the 8000 and what it does to drivetrains and if ur upgrading from the stock esc/reciver u have to get a new servo as well id get the one i posted up top hope this helps u guys

[Legend_Car]

well thanks for all the help i kno what im getting for christmas. MAMBA new servo slipper ball diff cvds and a new body my T is gonna be sweet

[Brian23]

can u guys sugest some upgraded esc's and recievers

[Brian23]

doesnt anyone know anyhting about thet beast raptor motor? my baja seems 2 be lacking speed/torque.... the sad thing cant pull a wheelie or nothing wit ha 6 cell 1100 nimh pack

[Legend_Car]

if you want speed go mamba

[Brian23]

yea mambas got wicked speed :P but im im not sre if my lhs carries it

[Legend_Car]

have them order it

[Brian23]

good idea thx

[Legend_Car]

it seemed most logical :D my lhs will order about any part as long as you have the part number. anyone use this integy graphite chassis? http://cgi.ebay.com/Integy-Minit-Graphite-Chassis-Kit-Mini-T_W0QQitemZ6009054726QQcategoryZ44028QQrdZ1QQcmdZV iewItem

ugly as in they look bad i dunno about performance

[Racing t]

another mamba question. what are the regular mainteniense that a mamba shoul have.

a dont now id i spell it right MAINTENIENCE if you cant urderstand I am talking about regular procedures to keep tha mamba runing at top performance :o

[Legend_Car]

what is a good 2 cell lipo a 3 cell lipo and an 8 cell pack?

[Brian23]

8 cell gp 1100 i got it in 7 cell but gps are the best

[Baja-Destroyer]

i do nothing to my mamba only problem i have is it doent fit on the stock motor mount so i had to drill the mount a bit and theres no flat spot on the armature so ur pinions come off easy so ill be putting a flat spot on there too other wise its awesome

[Legend_Car]

what kind of pinons do you have to get? what size spur and pinion would you use for a 6800 mamba thanks.

Here is my final setup?

[Legend_Car]

how do you like the chassis? is it the graphite one? im looking at buying one of those. Would this servo saver work with the hitec HS-81MG? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGZR6&P=M
