Project... ehh...
:lol: yes, i dont know the name, ideas would be great for the project name :D
Now to the project.. since some of you may know *cough* winner *cough* i am grounded from buying/selling til God knowns when... i decided to get back into my projects, starting with this one its my micro-t that hummer body taht i was selling?.. well its not for sale anymore, cause its gonna be my new micro-t body!!!! yep, im gonna make spacers... and maybe... i can turn this into a business(after im un-grounded) Its a stock micro-t chassis with a 3r tranny and metal bearings yes, it DID have nuts, but since i lost one(the wind ate it) and the others keep falling off..(grr.... where is the threadlock when u need it).. i decide to go abck to e-clips now.. less talky.. more pixxy http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt029.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt030.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt031.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt032.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt033.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt034.jpg as you can see, the toe out for my steering is insanely off... the steering link broke.. and i attempted making one out of the xmod awd kit box.. lol.. ill perfect it one day... or ill get metal turnbuckles) http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt035.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt036.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt037.jpg oh and P.S. This is 99% a external project(as in only the outside will be modded) if i get un-grounded in time.. then i will slowly switch it to internal aswell(because these rims/tires really dont go with the body.. im thinking about some DT wheels/tires) Comments & Questions are welcome |
you should paint the rims and make it a baja hummer or somtin
|
I like that. Sorry bout the being grounded.
|
hey sweet project. Srry about the grounding. any other plans for the truck?
|
well my original plan was to make it a baja hummer... but i cant really do that right now... but i do plan on getting DT wheels and tires.. and maybe making a nice baja skid plate
|
cool. cant wait to see how it turns out.
|
soo.. i finished somewhat mounting the bottom spacer(still need to remake the top, i made the first one too short..)
now all the holes are made.. but im working on it slowly and i took vid as requested on another forum(he needed to know about the turning radius) http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt038.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt039.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt040.jpg for the video, the battery is fully charged, and it starts off fast, but slows down almost immediately(thats why half the video im holding it up figuring out what's the problem) im thinking its a loose connection somewhere any help would be appreciated and turning radius is awesome for this length! http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k..._microt041.jpg |
i checked all the connections, they all looked fine
here is a video of a fully charged battery and how fast it runs out, and it only takes like 2 minutes to charge it up again, so im positive its no the battery would it be the bushings in the motor doing this? http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k..._microt042.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt043.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt044.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt045.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt046.jpg all help is greatly appreciated and for those of u wondering... the song is from the new gorillaz album |
It could still be the battery. I've had similar problems with a bad AAA battery in my Mini-Z.
I've got a battery if you want it I don't use it because I have a lipo battery. Of course I'm not sure it will fix it but either way its a free battery... |

ill PM u if i ever need a free batt though :D |
i got it to work :D
i noticed my charger light was flickering.. and it was low on batt's :D thanks for the offer action b, when this batt dies, ill shoot ya a PM :D i finished up the spacers.. http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt048.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt049.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt050.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt051.jpg now for height choices please pick a choice http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt052.jpg choice A (above) http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt053.jpg choice B (the one above) http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt054.jpg choice C (one above) i personally like choice B the best, as it looks the best, but i want your input aswell |
I like B but those wheels gotta go!
PM me if you still need DT wheels. I have my stock set as I upgraded to 3racing wheels. |
Let's refrain from throwing around derogatory terms, please. ;)
lol im jk sending a PM right now :D |
sorry bout that donzii, ill try to make it not happen again
update: I got part1 of the mounting done the rear shcoks are TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO soft, im gonna need harder ones, the body is so heavy it pushes down on the rear shocks, making it sa, ill have to look into either a spring set, or some other method, like the grease shock mod for the height, its in between choice c and choice b :D anyways lets see who can figure out how im gonna mount this thing, no hints available(yet) and sorry for the somewhat blurry pix, i am using my phone, cause my sister stole my camera :evil: http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt055.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt056.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt057.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt058.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt059.jpg and a sneak peak at my next project(summer project) http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k...sisrender1.jpg |
i thought i was almost done, and all i needed were wheels, but then the evil weight monster came and made me change my whole plan... darn body weighs too much for the tiny shocks on the micro-t
http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt060.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt061.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt062.jpg mouting system... thats it... 2 screws.. after the spacers are done, it will be four screws instead of 2 http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt063.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt064.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt065.jpg now... who says xmods are not hobby grade? well their shocks are very hobby gradeable.. kinda.. http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt066.jpg OMGOMGOMGOMG DUAL RATE SPRINGS http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k.../microt067.jpg im gonna raise it using more custom made spacers.. now.. i just need to find the time.. i h8 finals.. but anyways.. let me know what you guys think :D |
the ride height should be able to very for riding conditions
