Team Losi Mini-T v2.0

[Bermbuster]

what klind of racing can you do with these cars? I know there's dirt oval but i can't seem to find any tracks with this kind of format...
where are you looking??? Some areas have all sorts of mini action going. I can find outdoor dirt oval, offroad, indoor carpeted oval,offroad and even onroad.....I happen to live in the Northeast. (metroNYC) None of it is super close but about 50-150 miles away.....

[got_nitro?]

i have sort of a poll for people with a mini-t. What kind of plug do you use from the battery to the ESC (deans, deans mini, stock, other, etc.)

deans ultra....is there any other kind of plug??? :D
the deans ultra is a zero loss plug.....just as good as a solid connection.....

[got_nitro?]

thank you! also my personal favorite, who else?

[Tig]

I am sure this has been dicussed, but I am too lazy to go through 41 pages.
What would be the better choice for all new electronics for a Mini-T. Would upgrading the electronics mean I would have to get a new radio?
Thanks

[Bermbuster]

new radio, tx and rx servo and speed control......

[microrcdude]

if you havent purchased a mini-t yet, buy the mini-t pro. That way you can buy new radio equipment and not pay for the crap they give you....plus the pro kit is all hopped up!

[Brian23]

pro is the way to go!.. llol it rhymes

[microrcdude]

Hey where can i get cheap Mini-T kits? We have a new Box-Stock mini class that my brother and i are going to race, sounds like a ton of fun! Thanks everyone

[Brian23]

i dont think the mini t comes in kit form. I got mine rtr at Boyz toys. They have great service- when my servo stripped they replaced it for free. And they gave me free e clips when i lost some of mine of my rear aluminum A arms. They have GREAT SERVICE

[Brian23]

And also i just orded some things for my mini t that i hvae been waiting to get forever. I ordered yellow Gpm titanium turnbuckles. Losi oil filled shocks and 25 20 30 wt oils (what should i used for front/back)? and wheel bearings. My orion motor seems really slow to me. Now i have a question. Im going to be puttiong the mamba 6800 kv in my mini t. Can i put the synthasised MINI LST radio in my mini t. I like it because its relatively cheap- fm- and synthatsised.

[Brian23]

Does anyone know a good fm reciever or one they are using for their mini t with a mamba sized reciever
will standered reciever work because mamba esc is so small?

[Brian23]

so i like the mini lst radio/reciever--- will that work with the mamba
id really like to buy it does any one kneow

[teampeter]

Yeah, it will work, people use mambas with their mlsts.

Pete

[DarkSavage]

Oh man i still need work on my mini t havnt had time to do it since ive put all my money in my savage but ill be here in this forum with you guys.

[Straick]

My mods to mine so far:
Tazer 15t Speed control(forward/reverse)
Raider Peak Racing motor
R135 FM 3ch receiver(it was on hand when the stock receiver went out on me)
EFlite servo(it fits perfectly, just glued the mounting pieces onto the servo case, and its the only servo to take the rough handling)
Redid servo saver(metal plates for rub point instead of the original plastic that it came with)
Home made thin aluminum bar for stearing link(the bar that runs across to join the left and right arms together, the slop is mostly caused by that bar and I broke the old one)
2c LiPo 1000Mah
Team Losi Oil shocks(25w front,30w rear)
Pink springs front, silver rear
Ball diff
CV axles
Dual disc slipper
Custom painted body(looks sortof like the General Lee, first time with airbrush in about a year, so it came out pretty good)

It gave a larger electric a run for its money before I blew out the diff somehow. Still haven't figured out how I did it, but I need to get a new ball diff now. LHS should be open tomorrow. Also have a REVO, but you can't beat a MiniT when you want to run at lunch, no fuel and minimal cleanup when done.

[DarkSavage]

Nice setup. i forgot mine. but it was good. i think it was this

oilfilled shocls
foams all around
stepins
mashers
cvds
boca bearings
dual slipper
hs55 servo/servo saver
Novak xrs Esc
Dean Connecters
gp1100s
trinity 17t pro motor
green springs in rear
pink in front
40wt oil all around
ball diff
Ti turnbuckles
heatsinked motor plate

[ttppll]

In case anyone cares, there's some pics of one of the nationals winning Mini-T's over at www.18thScaleRacing.com (http://www.18thScaleRacing.com).

[Brian23]

i installed my bearings- one was lost in the lhs and now i have 7 bearings in the car and one bushing in place lol- i cant seem to find single bearings for sale. I also installed losi oil filled shocks- and integy universal driveshafts- and titanium turnbucks- and lastly an Mip ball diff. I tried out the mini t in the basement and it revs supper high when i got WOT but it only moves a bit. The slipper isnt slipping so im guesingg its the diff? I can hold both wheels, give it throttle and the spur/pinion still go? What should i do?

[teampeter]

Tighten the ball diff down.

[Brian23]

how do i tighten the ball diff

[teampeter]

If you stick an allen key or driver in the ball cup (which one depends on the way you installed it) you should be able to tighten the screw in there. Just hold the other outdrive while you tighten it. Hold up.... didn't you build that ball diff? If so, it's just like building it. You tighten the screw you put the thrust bearing on.
If it's not the diff, the wheels may be loose or you may have lost the drive pins or sumthin.

[Brian23]

yes i built it but i thought the screw was just to hold it together- not tighten it. i did tighten it now but i cant seem the keep the drive cups straight

[marinearmenibro]

Yesterday my mini-t started to steer really slow and sometimes it got stuck when it was all the way to the left. So I drive it today and it doesn't turn at all. I checked the servo and everything seemed to be fine, I don't know whats wrong can someone help me before I waste 15 bucks on a new servo.

Thanks in advance.

[DarkSavage]

Is it the stock servo? if it is its going to keep breaking on you. those motors in them are very weak and they tend to break easily so thats why i upgraded my electronics.

[balang_479]

Upgrading the electronics is costly for just a servo upgrade,, you should check if the servo works correctly,
then see if the sterring system is smooth, no friction and see if it locks at full swing, it might bind somehwhere at full turn and the servo will have not enough power to un-stuck it. The servo is not bad for sucha light car so im sure itll be fine

[marinearmenibro]

Well im going to buy a new servo anyways. What one would you suggest or should I just re-buy the stock one?

[teampeter]

Brian, you have to unscrew it and screw it back on, it is not screwing in straight. The manual thing says to put it into the tranny before you put the screw in, that may make it easier, I just struggled with till I got it.

[Hunter660]

I just got a new Mini-T. It takes almost a full second for the tires to turn from strait ahead to either direction. Is this normal? My RC18MT is lightning quick. What could be the problem?

Thanks

You should check your batteries. If your using the stock pack with AA's, they might be old and may not have much juice in them. If you're using a rechargeable, make sure it's fully charged. Maybe recharge it or check if it works in the RC18MT. Normally when the battery is low, this happens.

If the batteries are fine, I'd make sure nothing is wrong with the drivetrain, axles, bushings, or if there is any binding.

[Hunter660]

Even with the same batter at me RC18MT it is just as slow. I disconnected the servo and the wheels turn free. There is no binding at all. And with no load, the servo still turns very slowly. I'll try to post a video of it later tonight. Thanks guys.

[Mini-TBasher55]

I noticed not many people have been posting here for a couple of weeks. Do you guys still have your Mini-T's? Heres a pic of my car.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l311/jokesta55/3a3be290.jpg

Also, I was thinking of getting this motor for my Mini-T:http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHXW2&P=7. I was wondering if anyone knew if it would work with the stock ESC/Reciever?

Even if it's the same battery, is it charged? Try the stock AA pack so we can rule out any chance that it's the car, not battery.

And now here. Motors is just one of the topics you have double posted on. You only need to ask once. I asked a similair question (The post just above yours). Try not to double post, its called spanning and many people have been banned for it. I ask you to stop asking the same question over and over again, especially if you have already had it answered.

As for the motor, I would suggest a Losi Speed Motor. Its a low priced motor with a fair amount of extra speed (compared to stock). I had it and loved it, but I broke mine when I tried to put a pinion on. I would get another, but TowerHobbies doesn't supply them and I'm planning on making an order with other stuff from them and rather only make a single order.

That is why I'm asking if the Monster Termination Motor works with the stock controls.

is the epic "faster motor" anygood compared to the losi speed?

[Mini-TBasher55]

is the epic "faster motor" anygood compared to the losi speed?

I have no idea. My guess is that it is faster, but may have shorter run times. But thats besides the point of the post....

[mdewitt71]

NitroMaxx,
Dont know much about the Epic motors but:
I like the Beast Raptor motor from one18th.com, not sure if they make them anymore or not. I also like Orian's Baja motor and Trinity's Termination motors (3 different motors Termination, Mass Termination, and Monster Termination).
I am asuming like the Epics they range in fast to fastest.....Just make sure you use the correct pinion with the appropriate motor and you will see a good speed increase....as well a a run time decrease though.

[Brian23]

pretty much any mod motor will work. Just make sure you gear down a bit. Like put a bit of a smaller pinion gear on. And make it a bit smaller.

[Brian23]

does any one have a single wheel bearing for the mini t i could buy off them? I lost one and now i had to put a bushing in place. Ill pay someone through paypal to ship me a single whheel bearing.

Forget that, for too MUCH power, get the Competition X Mamba package with a new Li-Po battery! You can't even go 1/8 throttle without a wheelie!

(Not cheap, though)

I can't afford to switch all of my electronics out right now, so I decided to just grab another Losi Speed Motor. I need a motor right now so that I can use my Mini-T. I am definitely going to go brushless in my Maxx, XXX-S, and Mini-T, just not right now.

[TunaCan Charlie]

Do all of these motors slide into place with no modifications to the chassis?
And, how much motor can the stock ESC handle?

I don't know much about the Mini's except that when I bought a Trinity 1200 pack and ran it for the first time, it was a totally different vehicle! Now I want to see what a mod motor will do.

I have a Beast Raptor motor in mine and a Baja motor in my wife's....both motors are pretty fast and I am still using the stock ESCs. I do think I need to run smaller pinions in them to get more speed though.
I have an aftermarket motor plate on mine and If I remember right, my wife's has the stock motor plate.................I do think most "hotter" brushed motors require a new motor plate though.

have a look at this motor, it will put you through a totally new dimension with your great looking Mini T.

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHAJ0&P=ML :D

[teampeter]

the trinity monster termination is one of the best brushed motors for the stock esc. I have also heard good things about the Beast Raptor. However, for the absolute best brushed performance, get the Cobalt 18 14T (you need aftermarket electronics though) but stock up on brushes.

Note: they offer different versions, the Comp X is CRAZY, but maybe too powerful for racing, especially on tight tracks.

[8 Baller]

unless you plan going straight alot ,using a wheelie bar and staying onroad do not bother with the competition x(8000kv) too much power,you won't be able to enjoy it properly without spinning out.The competition (6800kv) pakage is more than enough

Hey -

I recd my Mamba Comp 6800 - and the Ice charger for it. Since TH cant send batteries, i am making do with the 7.2 Nimh pack

Any suggestions on installing the mamba - there is a lot of gap between the motor mount and the actual motor - do i leave it like that or i should put some sort of a support. ?

I got a Mini-T pro and its great! I love this thing! I'm getting my rc18t soon so yeah. I'm going to see which one is better.

What electronics are you using? Make sure they are the same in each truck. I think the RC18T will have an advantage over the Mini-T. With 4wd, the 18t will go over anything. Of course, my Mini-T does have a freakish ability to rock crawl; no joke. Keep us updated on the tests, I wanna see who wins!

[RacerST]

Just bought one. Cant wait to try it out.

[TunaCan Charlie]

I purchased an Orion Big Block motor for $20 new on E-Bay this week. I was told later that this motor would "fry" the stock ESC/receiver on my Mini-T.

Is this true? If so, could you suggest a solution that wouldn't drain my bank account?

Thanks!

Is the Speed Motor upgrade from Losi not any good? Thats $15.

Is it?

[Mini-TBasher55]

Is it?
I have one, and it's awesome. With lowest pinion, 20+ with a 6 cell and 20 minute run times! Problem is, when it starts to slow down, you can't matinence it. You gotta buy another, which gets spendy FAST!

[TunaCan Charlie]

Thank you for the info on the Losi motor!

However, I still have the Orion Big Block on its way and I don't know if it will turn the stock ESC/Receiver into a heap of slag. Any help?

[Brian23]

I have it and my esc/reciever (stock) is fine. Just gear down a little lower. THe stock pinion is pretty large.

gettin a mini-t soon...hopefully it runs, and runs decent. :D

[GT Freak]

well, got it today...DAMN! needs a heck of a lot more then was told. :(
NEEDS:
dogbones,drive pins,rear tires,rear carriers,tx antenna. paid 40 for it, gonna be a project i guess!

Hey Guys, I have been waiting to buy a Mini-T for awhile now. I didn't want to get the original becasue it needed too much work and the Pro Kit was going to cost me too much. I think the new Mini-Baja that is coming out would be a good choice. What do you think? I'm not sure how much faster the new motor will be comepared to the original, does anyone have an estimate of its top speed? Thanks. -Tom

[RControl Freak]

I wouldn't count on the new motor being that much faster, also considering the fact that that baja thing is extremely limited on what to run it on, unless you change out those big ass paddle wheels!

[GT Freak]

the baja comes withe both stock AND paddles..

Well, got it running finally. not bad on 4aa's. slow enough for house play.. getting new batts soon for racing tho. :D

[RControl Freak]

i stand corrected

[GT Freak]

well, got my raceing-t to the track, had a friend take me. took no more then a half hour then he broke the motor on it. wasnt even worth me going.

[GT Freak]

got a new motor last night, and racing tues night... cant wait. :D

[Brian23]

what mootor?

[RControl Freak]

we don't really have a mini class :(

[GT Freak]

stock motor that comes with it... does the job just fine... im 4th in points right now.

[RControl Freak]

not bad, how many people are racing?

[GT Freak]

around 10 so far.... :cool:

in other newz, got mini-t 2 finished tonight. just gotta paint the body, and its runnable. :D

[GT Freak]

heres a pic of my racer...like it?

[microrcdude]

Nice!

Hopefully, ill be getting a Mini-T for x-mas. Can anyone reccomend a nice but cheap charger and battery packs? Keep in mind ill just be driving it for fun around the house and ETC, so i dont need anything with tons of juice or etc.

[RacerST]

I have an MRC Super Brain http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAVN1&P=ML and Tenergy batteries http://www.all-battery.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=890. I dont think there is a nicer charger for that price and you cant beat the price of those batteries. In my experience Tenergy battery packs have worked just as good and probably better than other cheaper brands.

Sure is, get a set of baja wheels, and a buggy body from one 18th''s store. there ya go. simple as pie!

[mongoose]

I think Parma make a buggy shell for the mini t [body and wing all in one] .

[t9dragon]

Yes, it is possible to convert the Mini-T to a buggy. Here are a few pics of my Mini-T converted to a buggy using the Team Bluegroove conversion. It adds almost an inch to the length of the Mini-T, you can an also use a stick pack in it.

Here it is next to a normal Mini-T.

this thread is dead, does anyone drive their mini t anymore lol

[pedeman]

yes, I still do. I just dont come around much anymore. me and a friend have built and rebuilt a mini track in their barn over the past couple weeks. i would post the pics i've got but you cant really see much because it was bright outside. the barn is fully lighted, running water and electricity. it is about 30x50 or so, with around 1/2 of it concrete and the other 1/2 is dirt.

[raffaelli]

I am looking to put a Mini-T track in my yard. I have been thinking about 20'x40' with 4-5 foot lanes, drained, lights, trackside power, drivers stand, etc. We play with our 6 stock box Mini-T's, except added a 5cell pack.

Is it a decent size track? Right now we are using a portion of our blacktop driveway which is about 30'x50' and seems to be a bit big.

[vroom vroom]

It sounds like it is a good size.

[pedeman]

30x50 is a perfect size IMO, there are 4 doubles, a step up, whoops, 2 triples, and a S turn section. it also has one single. it is a fun track, the lanes are about 3 or 4 cars wide i'd say.

Yeah, i know. its brand new and the first thing i did was throw in a mamba esc with a trinity brushless and a hitec fm radio and reciever. thing slammed into the wall at about 20 going down my barracks hallway and destroyed my servo so i had to fix that last week.

im also working on a seven cell 2400mah nimh battery pack for my other mini t.
that one has a an orion if i remember correctly. its about 2 years old and way quieter

[raffaelli]

Thanks for the input!

[TunaCan Charlie]

Yes, it is possible to convert the Mini-T to a buggy. Here are a few pics of my Mini-T converted to a buggy using the Team Bluegroove conversion. It adds almost an inch to the length of the Mini-T, you can an also use a stick pack in it.

Where can I get more info/pricing on this conversion? It looks awesome!

[t9dragon]

I got the chassis and body off of ebay from teambluegroove. Here is a link http://cgi.ebay.com/BG2-LOSI-MINI-T-BUGGY-BY-TEAM-BLUEGROOVE-rc18t_W0QQitemZ150086201794QQihZ005QQcategoryZ1200 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

[raffaelli]

I really like the rally/touring 1/18th from AE. Anyone try to do the same thing with the Losi Mini T? You think it is just a matter of adding a body?

[t9dragon]

Here are a couple of pics of BG2 Mini-T with 1/10 adapters & sedan wheels & tires.

Go to www.thetoyz.com and they have the wheel adapters to use 1/10 sedan wheels on the Mini-T.

hey there guys

Is it just me or does anybody else find the connector that connects the battery pack to the car very tough to pull apart? lol. my fingers get sore prying them apart :P

my fingers were getting sore too! i switched everything over to powerpoles.

[juntom10]

what servo are you using on mini t?

[Mini-TBasher55]

Where might I find the BG2 Buggy Conversion?

They're website doesn't work and they don't have any conversions currently on eBay. Is there another place I can contact them about buying a conversion?

[Redman65]

I'm getting ready to put new electronics into my Mini-T. I have a V3r esc laying around with nothing to do. Can I replace all the motor and battery leads with the ones found on the stock electronics in the Mini-T?

[revodude14]

Hey guys, im new to the mini-t world and i just got a used one. it has a baja motor is that any good? also doesn't have a battery pack, would any one off ebay work or one with 8.4v, how many cells? It still has the stock esc/rx the only other thing is right now the steering servo doesn't work, but i dont know if it's the servo or the wire or the esc. any suggestions on how to test for that? i guess i also plan on getting bearings if that helps with the wobbly tires and then maybe oil shocks. just wondering, what can i get this up to speedwise if i but a mamba it it? thanks for the help

[t9dragon]

Does it have the ESC/RX combo?

[RControl Freak]

yeah, the baja is decent, one of my friends has it in a rc18mt. As for the servo, I'm not sure if there's anyway to check it. You may want to consider just getting a new one, if the old one's stock! Check out some of the hitec micros!

As for the wheel problem, if I recall correctly, the mini-t has dog bones, and you have to make sure that you get the wheel correctly lined! Still, if you're serious about speed, then bearings are a must!

(I wouldn't be so hasty to bolt in that mamba, 'cause my friend was dumb enough to combo it with a lipo, and he's selling the lipo now, too much power....) And on a tire note, if you run onroad a lot, or on carpet, you may want to consider foamies, they last a long time, and are alot lighter then rubber tires!

[revodude14]

ok thanks. yes i have looked over everything and the servo doesnt move with power so for now ill assume the servo is the problem but i think you have to get a new esc to run an aftermarket servo. it does have dogbones in the back but it was used so i know the bushings cause the problem. now im almost 100% sure i won't race it but rather bash/ jump so i might get dirt hawgs or the rc18mt tires with a mamba or quark?( 5600 6000 or 8000?). I just want to bash and have street appeal of it going wickedly fast. not sure about aluminum or graphite since i dont care how it looks, but i dont want to weight it down or spend big bucks (no titanium or alum). mainly looking for durability and speed. btw, how would this compare to a rc 18 as far as speed, with the fastest mamba, 65 mph?

[RacerST]

So far I have installed oil filled shocks and bearings. You should definately get the shocks. Im not sure the bearings make that much of a difference but considering the stock ones are plastic bushings I was better off with them. Im still waiting to get better turnbuckles because the stock ones bend easily. Im also gonna get the speed motor but only after the stock burns up. I really wanna see what this thing can do but I find it hard to get hop-ups that cost more than the original $89 price tag.

[t9dragon]

WOW, $89 for a Mini-T. They have come way down from the orginal price.........

[RacerST]

I think it was overstock at my LHS.

[GT Freak]

heres a pic of my mini-t AFTER a good bashing session. think i may have lost the esc/rec tho. wwaaaaaa

[RControl Freak]

If you're worried about duarability, then graphite may not be such a hot idea, especially if you're gonna upgrade to the mamba!

[GT Freak]

Found i didnt lose it after all, but did lose a pack,i think. it got hot enough to melt the wrap after a run... what could have caused this?? gonna take to my track owner and have him test it. maybe he can figure it out..lolol :D

[GT Freak]

Well, since last posting, ive given that mini-t to a friend. then yesterday went out and got me a BRAND NEW mini-t for racing only. gave the 4-cell holder away too. regeared it 14-60, added sleeves over the threaded rods, and putting FUEL TUBING on the rear shock shafts. that will STOP THAT BOUNCE!! only upgrade im adding will be a RPM front bumper. will get pics when im done. :D

[GT Freak]

gen 1

[revodude14]

Hey, I got help here before and im looking for some again. I recently bought this mini-t and it's all stock but now that everything else is working, the motor is "acting up". It does not go forward unless you push it to get it going? And if it stops, it won't go backwards, and most likely does not go forward. once it is going, it acts completely normal. is it the brushes, or wires, or esc? any help would be great. thanks

[RacerST]

For the price of a new one I wouldnt worry about going to pick another one up.

[GT Freak]

Check to see that the motor wires are ok. mine are corroded, but it runs fine. try a dif motor.

[Galhaven]

I'd try another motor. From what you have described, it sounds like the motor could have "dropped" a segment. Let's know how you get on.

[juntom10]

brushless 18b and brushless mini t would be nice!~~

[revodude14]

Yea, it took me awhile but It turns out it was the motor wires. however it was before it didnt make a solid enough connection. I had to re-sodder all of it but it works fine. Ive never had a mini until now and boy are they ever fun. now I just need to go brushless if I had a clue what I was doing. maybe ill get a mini-lst2..

Hi Guys
I have bought a mamba 5800kV motor, cant seem to figure out how to get in the motor. What do i need to add this motor does it just sit right on or does it need some additional fittament.

Can anyone gimme a site/url to how to install this motor on the T.

Anyone wanna join me in feeling physically sick at the fact of when i went away and came back, i couldnt find my mini t which i keep in a box with padding... dad saying 'oh i thought that was rubbish, i chucked it away' He didnt even flippin check in the box! :'( I have to get me a new mini t now. Someone here mourn the mini t loss :( lol

Did you also get the ESC with the motor? You install the 5800kv the same way you took the stock motor out.

i will use 2cell lipo or 6cell nimh..

so thinking of getting quark 33 esc + mamba 5400??

[juntom10]

ooh i ordered brushless..lol

quark 33a + mamba 5400kv

[uaerc]

i upgraded my mini t with 6800 and mamba 25 - first run and the diffs are gone.. any suggestions on this. which is a good replacement for the above setup

[juntom10]

mip ball diff + mip cvd

[Mini-TBasher55]

ooh i ordered brushless..lol

quark 33a + mamba 5400kv

Good choice. It should be fast but controllable.
mip ball diff + mip cvd

CVDs would be awesome, but aren't ball differentials more delicate than gear diffs?

[uaerc]

mip ball diff + mip cvd

Thanks.....chkd at tower they dont have the cvd's for the mini t, any other site if you may pls.

[juntom10]

check the www.losipartshouse.com

good site :D

[juntom10]

Good choice. It should be fast but controllable.


CVDs would be awesome, but aren't ball differentials more delicate than gear diffs?

yes. but more durable then normal gear diff. gear diff fries when you use brushless..

but ball diffs can handle quite well..but you need maintanance every month or so

I am in Iraq (3rd time) but I brought my Mini-T this time.
Last time I brought my TXT-1 and tricked it all out while I was here, this time it's the Mini's turn.

I am looking to get a Mamba system, maybe the 6500 and everything I need to install it and run it.
Would like to get everything at once and save $$ and time on shipping.

What all do I need and where might I find everything with out making several orders from different stores?

I am assuming my Pirahna peak charger will not charge LiPo batts, so what is a good charger that wont break the bank?

Right now, I got Alum a-arms front and rear, Bumpers, skip plates, Alum rims, Alum. motor plate, Orion baja motor, and the Stock ESC, Servo, and Radio.

Any help would be great and feel free to PM me.

Does anyone make aftermarket dogbones and rear hub carriers(i.e. RPM)? Really not keen on a whole bag of parts for one hub carrier, then the outdrives and all just for a dogbone... Be nice to upgrade a little in the process. Got one coming Monday with those boo-boos...

I'm starting to get back into RC racing after about a 10 year absence, and I have a few questions. I recently purchased a Losi Mini-T and was thinking that I could use my old electronics with it. I have, from a previous 1/10th scale buggy; a Novak cyclone ESC, Novak Mercury Rx'er, which I'd like to use with my EX-1 Precious radio. I'm assuming that, although these electrics
are dated, that they're somewhat better than the stock electronics and radio that come with the Mini-T. My questions are:

1. Will this combination work in the Mini-T? (I'm guessing it will)
2. Does this upgrade "make sense"? Meaning has technology progressed in the last 10 years such that the stock kit electronics better than the what-was-once pretty high-end electronics of 10 years ago?
3. Do any of you have any general guidelines on what to upgrade to the Mini-T as a whole to get it "race worthy".

I should also note that my racing use will be fairly casual, I have no delusions of gradeur, but am looking to racing at the local track (indoor carpet) with my 8 year hold step-son. Our primary goal is to just have fun, but I wouldn't mind being somewhat competitive. I'll probably eventually move on to brushless and more modern electrics, but that won't be any time soon.


Thanks in advance,

Norm

(I cross-posted this to the RC Electrics forum, I wasn't sure in which forum this question should land, so I placed it in both)

Fellas i need some advice here ... I picked up a very hopped up MINI-t and the servo blew ... I let a guy takeit out for a spin and he brought it back in a shambles ... I need the toughest 3wire servo that you all can think of for under say 40 bucks ... I would like to stay WELL UNDER that price including shipping ... I primarily use the truck soley for bashign and already have a 18th scale race truck so I just need this one to be tough . Also do you need differnt servo savers for it too or are the stockers pretty muc universal .. Thanks for the input ... BIG V

It's funny that this just came up, as I was at a local hobby shop on Friday and asked the exact same question. I was trying to find a body for my son's Mini-T and was told that they were all yanked from the shelf and destroyed. Apparently, VW had a problem with making bodies that looks like a Bug. They must have some sort of copyright on the name or the styling or something, because they sued Losi and won.

It's not just Losi that lost though, the Baja 1/5 vehicles were also in the suit and had to be redesigned and are very hard to find now. The guy at the shop had a body that he said for a Revo conversion, but didn't want to sell it. (Not that I wanted it, I don't have a Revo)

I'm not sure how true any of this is, it's just what they guy from Riders said.

Hi ppl,

I have a mini ti with no stock electronics. I opted not to do anything with chassis or suspension for the reason it didnt make the car go faster. Trinity mini monster fro 17 turn with a 1400 batt novak spy micro esc traxxas receiver
and a hitec hs55 servo. the thing was quick. as it was wearing the brushes out way to fast i decided to get a full bearing set. IT WAS INSANE!! went to a parking lot to see what i could get it to do, then it got away from me. the front bulkhead EXPLODED snapped a cup and busted the rear bulkhead. my 9 month old daughter loves this car and really want to get it up and running again. willing to trade an apogee 2s lipo pack, it doesnt have a charger, but last i ran it it was NUTS. Thank you for any kinda help.

[scrisp2]

I gave my T to my son a week or so ago and he was running it down the hallway and hit the corner of the door and now has a broken spindle.

It broke where the ball screws through, and I'm trying to find something that might be a bit stronger. Does anyone know if there are aluminum spindles for the T?

The Losi part number that I'm looking to replace is LOSB1027 - Spindle, Carrier & Hub Set.

Gday,
A friend gave me his stock Mini Baja. I didn't know he even had it and I have never seen this car. Anyway, he ran it stock and I could not stop laughing at the little thing popping wheelies constantly.:D
As soon as I got home, I converted it to brushless 4800kv, 2s 1050mah 40c lipo & 18/60 gearing. Setup for sand or onroad at the moment.
Here's some pics and I will try to get a vid of it at the dunes soon.
Thanks for looking,

What are the best AA type batteries for the mini t? I want to run 7 of them because my novak ss esc maxes out at 7x1.2v.

Also, how many holes should be in the shock pistons? I'm not sure if I should rebuild with 2 or 3.

Good job

Hi,
What do you mean AA? Do you mean a 7.2v or 8.4v NiMh pack? Not sure?:confused:

My shocks are losi options.

[Merzie]

Nevermind about that. Discharge on AAs won't be good enough for brushless. I'm 7 years just coming back to the rc scene and now there are lipos.

regarding shock holes--- I think either the front or back should have three holes instead of two. Look on the white head of the piston.

[Merzie]

will this fit in the mini t stock? Will it fit in modified?

That battery would fit my Mini Slider but not the Baja. Bajas battery area is 7cm accross. I use a 1050MaH 40c Rhino.

I'm going with flightmaxx 2s 1300s that are 85mm. I might have to squeeze them in by cutting something, but I couldn't pass up the deal. 2 for $35 with a bunch of EC3 and deans plugs. (I needed them in time for christmas, so no hobbyking)

Fair enough.

I stay away from HobbyKing Oct - Mar.

I think for good reason, some would say. I ordered something for $20 and just received an item worth over $120 that's completely different. Should I deal with returning it or just keep it?

Don't know? I'd say 99% of people would keep it. Imagine being honest & telling H/K and they asked you to send it back and you had to pay post, lol.

That's a big slip up. Maybe a digruntled employee.
