The Buggy...truck bumper kit, 6 shocks, buggy front wheels, truck rear wheels reversed...i find its more traction...truck decals,sponsor decals...the car that i thought would be the weakest has by far taken the worst beating...and has outlasted many of my other trucks... The...um...(toyota) T-100...alloy shocks...have 2 high speed motors to be installed, dirt tread wheels, buggy decals, off road light decals...for fun...and we have the truck that i had the biggest plans for, has seen few uses and is dead... ...wheels will turn L&R but will not go forward or reverse...so what is wrong with it and how can i fix it...thanks following 2 RC were received in exchange from LOSI after i returned their garbage mLST2... My Mini Baja...so excited to get...SO dissappointed...i used it twice...1st time super short run time...2nd time...i have to tap it with my foot to get it to move...what am i doing wrong with these things???...i just want to race without the frustration... ...and the MINI-T...started with a few small hop-ups...GPM racing mad absher rear tires, triple edge front tires, RPM revolver black wkeels, RPM wide front bumper, BBB polyamide wheels bearings...i want to do so much more but dont want to put a bunch of $ into it and have it not work correctly... ...anyways input is always welcome...problemsolving suggeestions also welcome...hop-up ideas...motors, suspension, batteries...whatever...as always thanks for lookin

With the pro-pulse it sounds like you fried the esc a new one should fix that and with the mini baja try putting in a new motor my motor went out in mini-t after 2-3 uses I know the mini baja comes with a different motor thats better but, it never hurts to try.
If you don't mind me asking where did you get a free pro-pulse?

for your mini baja, you may have to calibrate the controller to the ESC...if you have the instructions, it tells you how to do it. in all honesty, that mini baja esc is a royal pain in the *** to get working right.

With the 2 losi's I've had experience with, the MRC has good electronics, and the Micro-Baja.....well.....it sucks cheeks. I will not buy another Losi for high speed purposes. But I will continue to buy their crawlers. I would like to get a Propulse, and go crazy on it. I think your problem with the Losi Baja is that, it's a Losi Baja... But nice little collection you got there.

Thats weird your mini-baja is acting up, I havent had any problems with mine. I think you should try switching your freq. I had a similar issue and i quickly resolved it with a couple presses of the freq. button as i think there was interferance near my house. I would deffinetly recommend getting a li-po, it makes a huge difference. The stock nimh gave me about 15-20 min and my 1250mah lipo gives me around 45 min to an hour.

What's your address again? Looks awesome. Do you really like that propulse? I was looking at getting a RC18 and from my understanding, they're identical. But that's a sweet track you have there. I've tried to make some tracks. I end up giving in and just driving around.

thanks sometimes i think i like track building as much as racing around...and for what i paid for the propulse and upgrades i feel they were well worth it...would love to get one of the better, pricier RCs but for now i gotta make these work
