Team losi mini-t

[ag04]

I m not to sure where this goes, it s a 1/18 scale, but mods, please move this post where you find suitable.

I got a mini t the other day, and it s a great little truck. 1/18, mini replica of the xxx-t. Shocks are adjustable via shock clips, and there are all kinds of upgrades for them, or there are some comming out anyway. here are a few things

oil shocks
motors
gpm has a crapload of alloy parts (nearly every part…)
wheels
tires
bocies
MIP CVD s
ball bearings
and other upgrades are bound to come

Just a heads up, but the stock servo is crap, undertorqued, and most are faulty out of the box. I suggest replacing it with an hs81mg servo, new eletronics, and a speed 370 arm and magnets (they drop straight in the stock motorcase). There are a lot of people runnign 280BB s and brushless setups. I ll give this little truck one thing, it is durable, I highly doubt you will break something. The stock battery holder will hold 4 AA s, and it s way too slow, pop in a 6 AAA pack, and your ready for some action. It can do wheelies stock, but I dunno if the gears will hold up. I dunno if they are available yet in australia, but at $150 USD they are a pretty good buy for that you get.

Haven’t seen it down here yet, Aggy.
It will be interesting how US$150 translates to, in AUD. :blush:

isnt the hs85mg that digital servo that is like 89.99 thats a bit rich for 1:18th

[oldtamiyaphile]

$90 is cheap for a digital

[peedee]

yes but y would u need a digital servo that is used in like planes and monster trucks in a micro, that wat i meant..d/w

[oldtamiyaphile]

You wouldn’t use a 85 in a monster truck. At my LHS I’d be lucky to get a HS81 for $90, so to me, that would be digital for free.

I’ll grant you that it’s intended for use in small planes and helis, but I don’t feel it’s overkill for a micro if you can get one for that price.

really a neat little machine, I hope you guys find interest in it. Along with that, tamiya, hpi, pti, and a few others are comming out with more 1/18th scale offroad. I’ll keep you posted on any new info that I happen to stumble over.
