My Micro-t and Propulse!
well heres my new toys, im going away from xmods for awhile. i might sell a few and get more into hobby grade. im saving up for the traxxas stampede VXL brushless. i saw it at the LHS and i love it. ask bryce well heres pics. i made the PP RWD and locked the rear diff because i drive it on the road alot and never offroad so its a little faster. the micro t is the ultimate indestructible indoor machine!!! this thing is amazing it flips, wheelies, does anything and all i broke is a tie rod. but ot it fixed and its fine. bryce also put in the xmod truck suspension it has yellow in front blue in back.
and it only takes 20 minutes to charge and lasts about 10minutes. the only down side of the PP is that it takes 10 hours to charge. but its worth it. im going to get the DC car 1 hour charger tho once i get some more money. BTW anybody got some spare E clips for the micro-t i can have? well heres pics. ill also put in the vid that we made at my house of the micro-t a PP. |

Nice idea on the ramp, but I can't begin to fathom how you can stand the stock chassis for the Micro-T, it's just so bulky!

But if you're feeling adventurous, try sourcing out the three parts listed here and build some quality tierods for that thing! http://www.one18th.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49239 |

I don't have any e-clips, but you can buy Team Losi threaded axels at www.Killerhobbies.com, they're only $9, but they don't come with metal nuts, just plastic, they say that the Losi axels are stronger, you can get Hot Racing axels with metal nuts, but the axels bend. I ordered my axels a couple of days ago, along with white wheels and Team Losi front and back spring kits. I love the microT, it's tons of fun. I'm having some fun again with my xmods too, I've been running it here at work when everyone's gone and doing a large oval on short industrial carpet, the car gets dusty cuz the carpets gross, but I'm finally getting some driving skills, more than just running up and down the street like I used to, or drifting in the kitchen, this grip driving is fun.
Funny how a lot of us got into RC with xmods but now we're branching out to hobby grade, I've got my eye on the Team Losi XXX-T 1/10 Brushless but it's $360 plus battery, charger and radio. So I might go with a Mini Baja or maybe an Associated RC18Buggy. I'd be running Pro Pulse if I hadn't missed the awsome sale of 2 for 1 plus upgrades. As soon as Pro Pulse go on sale again, I'm getting one. you gotta love the micro T though.

Some cool wheel are the stock tires mounted on chrome, and the white ones, I got the Baja street tires on chrome, they look cool but the traction is only good on blacktop or cement, I want to get the Stock tires on the chromes and I have the white ones coming. regular shipping with killer hobbies was only 2$. I hope they make here alive, ha ha .

no i no how to jump a ramp put corey messed it up when he tryed to run the propulse up it (like 40 mins before we made the video)"you have to start to go up the ramp you hit the throttle has hard has you can then as the force of the wheels moving so fast wee propell the car backwards causing it to do a backflip,plus we ut the new springs in, and i didn't start infront of the ramp i went about like 7 feet back so i made that mistake." yea we had to fix the ramps a little it was just fine untill he ran over it.

Threaded shafts are nice, the eclips are a PAIN! But they can be expensive. Get the ATM ones, the Losi's don't accept standard lock nuts, only the losi ones..

You know the Hot Racing Piggy Back Shocks aren't Oil Filled, or that they weren't even meant to be oil/grease filled right? They're just there to look cool..
[info] I've heard 3Racing makes the best Dampers (as in Oil/Grease, not just friction shocks), fallowed by Atomic (Atomic is ATM. AM is AtomicMods) [/info] While you're at it, get a custom Chassis. Maybe the Hot Racing one, Ripper's eXo-T, or the 3racing one.. XI has a chassis in progress as well... EDIT: OH! Losi sells the front C-Hubs and Threaded Spindles (the axel shafts) in one package, just for $20. Quite a bit of stuff for next to nothing. Saw it at the LHS today... I think they have a similar package for the rear.. Think about it, full C-Hubs and Threaded Shafts in Silver and Blue for just $40.. Pretty cheap, and the blue is like the Kyosho blue, but a shade lighter, so it's a nice color too!
