Default Micro-X

Well, I loved my Micro-T but I hated the fact that you couldn't use any other motors. And my rear hub kept breaking. So I did a little modifcation and this is what I got.





I kept the articulation

I think due to the added weight on the rear, there's a lot of oversteer. Other than that it's great.

Speed is the a little bit slower but I'll fix that once my li-ions come in.

There's plenty of motors... It's just that the 130 motor make LESS POWER than the stock one, and they wiegh more.. Most people go brushless instead.

Stock motor does make more power because of lower turns. But that also means it gets hot quicker. Even with the stock 4.8v battery the motor gets pretty hot with just one run. And to go brushless, that's an addition $100 atleast and its near almost impossible to control it like that.

My micro t was sittng next to my truck when I got the idea. Really wasnt that hard. The only hard part was drilling the hole in the gray connector and screwing in into place. And a little ca on the side just to secure it.

I didn't even notice that the rear track wasn't as wide as the front. What would be an easy fix?

he could move the knuckles out so they are the same length as the front and then use styrene to attach it to the base parts. sorry if this is hard to understand but its really hard to explain.
