lol, thanks there they gpm alloy silver adjustable threaded shocks and they come with purple(hard) springs and yellow(soft) for both F&R. Im going to get the new mamba micro pro 8000kv motor and esc and better battery in a little bit, and if that isnt fast enough ill bump her up to a 3S Li po and eventually the CF chassis and full alloy kit. Even stock she rips in the sand, it can climb steep hills with the paddles. I havent found any downsides on this car other then the stock battery charger, which can easily be replaced. If your looking for one i would check out the losi mini peak, im getting one soon, It seems pretty good.

Nice, so is that a fibreglass chassis? so you got the blue integy alloy package? Whats the alloy like, shiny or dull? ive never ordered anything other then GPM racing although im probably going to get the integy silver alloy kit. Looks like yours is going to be a real beast.

the finish on the integy kit is pretty shiny. i was looking at their graphite chassis,but the gpm one looks more thorough and sturdy, and they're about the same price.

Hey Suicide, Are you having problems with your battery getting too hot??? I was running mine last week and started to notice the heat shrink wrapping had a small hole in the side(it also started losing lots of power and run time), i ignored it and kept charging it and driving it, Finally today i was driving it and the battery pack got so hot that it melted the heat shrink wrapping and the cell inside(bottom left, second one in), started expanding,once i took it out after it was dead i noticed it, and it was making fizzing sounds and i literally whipped the burning hot battery out the window. i have no idea what was wrong with the pack it was less than a half a year old and i always unplugged it when the low voltage cutoff kicked in.

****, its the stock 7.4V losi battery? mine hasn't got hot yet, but i haven't ran it that hard...

here's some progress...

before we had...

which was ok, but im not much into buggies.
now we have...

old school mini T body, 8 spoke RPM rims, losi dirt tires


the chassis is nice, im waiting on a few parts before i get crackin on it again but heres a little teaser...bare chassis w/ servo mounted and the gearbox




here's the motor...http://www.losi.com/Products/Default...rodID=LOSB9563
9400 kV Xcelorin which will be powered by a 7.4V lipo, if i can still control the car, i'll move up to an 11V lipo.

looks sick, from what i have heard the 7.4 lipo in these make it nuts fast. so i can imagine what the 11 v would do. if you do go with the 11, get some vids, and some tires that have a decent amount of tread. with the luck i have it would be shred the tires in 1 run. lol. good progress though, can't wait to see it complete.

Sorry if this question has already been asked and answered, I cannot find it, but what motor are you using in this picture?

That blue alloy is beautiful.

Wow! I didn't know they came with that style endbell for a stock motor. Typically you see a closed style endbell on a stock motor. That's pretty cool.

Thanks for the info.

im not really 100% sure wth the chassis is it was in GPM packaging and said MEGAFIBER CHASSIS...it probably is though. ohh...just ordered...GPM alloy oil filled shocks, alloy dogbones+axles, alloy 60T spur gear, alloy slipper clutch, 3racing ball differential, team losi aluminum pinions 11,12,13,14 tooth...hopefully the chassis can take a beating from the motor.

a miniT retails around $99 and a miniBaja retails at $160, they're on the same chassis, the baja is just mildly upgraded from the miniT

just a quick update...i bought a retro losi baja body for it and i ordered some 1/10 touring wheels (street tires!) and adapters, so it'll catch a better grip and increase the top speed. i also ordered a rear sway bar to help with those hard turns. i'll have pics up this weekend, this thing is turning out to be quite the moneypit! but it'll all pay off in the end =)
